The updated Curtain Wall Node is prepared to fully support the new upgraded Curtain Wall feature set, to access and manage all sub-element subtypes, settings, and custom content created with the custom pattern tool. Updated Curtain Wall Node - New Custom Pattern Functionality for AC22 During creation, the ARCHICAD-Grasshopper connection instantly adds the model to the embedded library of the running ARCHICAD project, while placing the object in the location specified by connecting anchor point coordinates to the Node.

With this new Node, users can create static (non-parametric) GDL library parts from any geometry. GDL Node - Static Library Content Creation (introduced in AC21 Update 2) Also, it can support a “reversed” workflow, to channel data from ARCHICAD to RHINO/Grasshopper platform. This function enables optimized design and access to BIM model data through Grasshopper. Through this Node, user can retrieve any available parameters, assigned property, or attributes of a given element and use its data in the Grasshopper script as input for any suitable node from the Grasshopper ecosystem. This new Node type provides access to the model data (both metadata and geometry) of ARCHICAD elements that are referenced from a live project. The following new features have been developed since the ARCHICAD 21 release in June 2017.ĭeconstruct Node (introduced in AC21 Update 2) It can be downloaded from GRAPHISOFT website. This free add-on product enables Rhino/Grasshopper and ARCHICAD to communicate directly to create and manipulate a BIM model, in full or in part, through Grasshopper’s visual scripting interface.
