There is a need for another licence type for BIMCloud with restricted permissions to only view uploaded files and create teamwork messages/issue from a BimX model. The current arrangement means I have to buy a full BIMCloud listener at approx AU$850 ...

So I’ve been diving deep into the LP_XMLConverter. A great tool! There is a -compatibility argument that you can pass an archicad version to the tool. However it only allows this argument to be used when decompiling gsm’s to xml/hsf. How can I instea...

If you want custom static objects and don’t know GDL it’s easiest to model with native tools and objects, moorish etc to make what you need. if you want to create fully parametric objects GDL is extremely powerful. I would call it a super power of Ar...

Based on your screenshot it looks like you are trying to work with longitude and latitude. You would need to work with Eastings and Northings as these are a flat plane x and y mapped co-ordinates. With those co-ordinates you could then determine to c...
