Hello all,
One question regarding binary files.
According to the GDL Manual, to save a file in binary format, first we save the 3D geometry as object as usual. Then, we open the saved object in the GDL editor, "Save As", then we turn on the checkbox "Save in Binary Format" (ArchiCAD 24 version).
I saved object following this procedure. However, when converted HSF or XML format, there's no Binary section generated.
I did a XML conversion with an ArchiCAD chair (Designer Chair 01 24), and it has the 3D Binary section (1st picture), as well as the .BIN file of the geometry, which becomes embedded in the GSM file, which is called using the "BINARY" command in the object's 3D script (2nd picture).
How should be the correct procedure to obtain the binary format? Unfortunatelly there's not enough sources for clarifications.
Thanks in advance.
Operating system used: Windows 10

Hi muril00ng,
The option to save binary 3d has been hidden by a registry key: LibraryManager\Enable Binary and Create New LibPart Save Options
This needs to be set to 1 at location depending on the installed AC version you use: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Graphisoft/ARCHICAD/ARCHICAD...
You can check the installed path under the (Default) key.
On mac theses settings are in /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/com.graphisoft.AC....plist
The workflow has changed too:
