Archicad plug ins?

[reddy]

Hi everyone,

I'm beginning to reuse archicad again after a break during which i used other programs. I was wondering though are there any useful plug ins to expand the programs capabilities. I'm particularly interested in finding something which will use the models intelligence to generate environmental data about solar gain and heat loss etc.

Thanks.

If you're interested in environmental plugins you might check in to the Green Building Studio. There is a plugin that will do an energy analysis on your 3D model.

you can get cygraph plug ins. a lot of interesting and usefull tools.

cigraph plugins: very good. Maxonform from C4D makers Maxon and Graphisoft developers, is also really great for organic-freeform-curvilinear modelling. I would also recommend the new improved Sketchup-ArchiCAD plugin if you're a Sketchup user ( and why not?), as has already been mentioned;it's free at Graphisoft website.

 

 

I would have recommended Maxwell plugin as well, but that whole episode is currently not a very happy story for Maxwell users in general. If NextLimit clean up their mess and actually end up producing a good working render engine, it just might be one to watch.
