In recent tests, we (Vincent) was using Rhino+Grasshopper to simplify and unify DWG contours, elevated in Rhino, then run through Grasshopper again to get a mesh into Archicad. We are seeing a major limitation to the Grasshopper plug-in: that only po...

I've had multiple requests for an indicator (I think in the on-screen view options menu would be an ideal location for it) to indicate which side of the window is interior vs exterior. Right now, we only have the little "sun" icon when first placing ...

anyone else tired of having to "restore interior elevations" before you can rename/edit I/E marker settings?I have a lot of projects that need 1 or 2 elevations in a room/zone, and I cant effectively edit them until I restore, then edit, then delete ...

teamwork conflicts happen all the time, and sometimes result in one or more person losing work; often significant amounts of work, since they can't send and receive, and have to leave and discard changes to free them up.Example: I'm editing surfaces,...

would love to be able to reliably and consistently recover a crashed file without having to quit all instances of AC, then recover from the recent projects list...Maybe a UI addition to the file > open menu: open > open, open join, open recovery file...

yes, we have one that has been hanging around since 2011. they are always manufacturer specific. I get why this was a 'feature', but it ought to come with a warning "you are pasting elements that contain a master_gdl.gsm, would you like to: -proceed ...

using rhino to limit polygons and streamline translation of 2d to 3d. Survey data from txt or xyz has always resulted in a workflow needing excessive formatting and insanely high polygon mesh elements. Rhino and grasshopper make short work of taking ...

4dProof

separating 2d and 3d is kind of antithetical to BIM-ness. There are definitely work-arounds, and I'm not even beyond doing a site plan 100% 2d on a worksheet; but in an ideal situation (always what we are aiming for), 2d elements are used as little a...

4dProof

no, we can take the contours (dwg from surveyor) into rhino, then use grasshopper to unify and simplify those contours, and Vincent even set up a grasshopper command to check for polygon complexity before bringing into AC. the only wall we hit is tha...

4dProof

we do detailed site meshes; at least for points closest to our buildable area. I've done extensive tests on polygon thresholds for various elements, and as long as we keep all mesh elements under 100,000 polygons, we do not see them as a factor in fi...
