(These two will communicate creating the connection between the two design software.)īefore installation, make sure that the latest version of Rhinoceros (Version 5, 64-bit) and Archicad are both installed on your computer. The downloaded installer will install two extensions at once: an Archicad add-on and a Grasshopper plug-in. You can find detailed and always up-to-date system requirements on our website.ĭOWNLOAD, INSTALL and UNINSTALL (Windows) The system requirements correspond to those of Archicad. You can find more details in the User Guide which is accessible in PDF format at the download site of the Connection. Direct and simultaneous graphical feedback from both Rhino and AC.Dynamic (live) connection while editing.Bi-directional connection – no need to export/import file for data exchange.Translate simple geometry created in Rhino into BIM construction elements.The Grasshopper-Archicad Live Connection offers a unique design workflow, helping to explore a large number of design variations, and create and fine-tune building details and structures using algorithms without exchanging files. What is the purpose of the Grasshopper-Archicad Live Connection tool? Through algorithms, the user is able to establish a set of rules that define the sequence of operations, thus aiding the design process. Algorithms are used to describe logical relationships between multiple design parameters that define the parametric model. Grasshopper (GH) is a node-based algorithm editor integrated with Rhino modelling tools. It operates through a live connection in which the visual algorithmic editing capabilities of Grasshopper are applied directly to predefined Archicad (AC) construction elements, 2D-3D geometrical elements and selected parameters, with real-time updates at both ends. This tool converts Rhino-Grasshopper design geometry directly into BIM construction elements. Download, Install and Uninstall (Windows)
