For years now, I've toyed with the idea of making this post. It's finally time. I've worked as an architectural draftsman (solely in Archicad, up to version 25) since 2016. I didn't receive formal training in architecture or Archicad, but secured a f...

I just wanted to make the development team aware of an issue. If you create a 10' x 10' zone, then the zone stamp area calculation will correctly show the area as 100 sf. If you use the split tool to divide this zone into two sections, each new zone ...

I apologize for not knowing how to word the title properly – still starting out with GDL. I just need pointed in the right direction. Say I'm creating a SLAB in GDL. And let's say that I want to create a variable number of nodes (n = variable). Obvio...

I work on an Apple computer, which may have a different interface than the Windows version of Archicad. However, there are some issues with the Surfaces editing window on my platform. The first issue is a small, but glaring one. Fixing this would GRE...

Obviously, the AC25 cabinet objects have been completely overhauled. I'm all for embracing a new tool and taking the time to learn how to use it. However, there seem to be some critical issues with the design of these new objects, which interfere wit...

Hi Dries, I appreciate the response. I had to go a similar process in convincing the firm I work with to pay me to dabble a bit more. But like you, they eventually saw the possibilities and got excited by what they saw. The biggest concern that I've ...

Thanks mthd, I remember briefly playing with both Param-o and Library Part Maker – I believe that my view at the time was that they had their uses, but were basically just Archicad's attempt at making GDL more approachable. Essentially, someone who k...

Same problem here. AC 25 (Build 5010 USA Full), macOS Big Sur (v11.6.1). Just got my Spacemouse Wireless last week. Only to find out that Graphisoft has – yet again – failed to fix a known issue within the past four years. Mind you, 3dConnexion has b...

So sorry for the delayed response everyone! Work picked up, and I had to set aside the non-billable GDL work (you all know how it is). These are all fantastic suggestions. It's really great to have such an active community for such a niche topic! I'v...

Oh, I could be mistaken. I was under the impression that the procedural shaders were all tiled in a unified frequency. I didn't realize that they were randomized infinitely. I had the brick and tile shaders in mind, but I'm not certain how effects li...
