To define the objects, you must use the Object ARCHICAD Component in GH. The hangings and bushes are placed with random choice from different ARCHICAD species object four hangins and three bushes. The hangings and bushes are ARCHICAD Object made by ArchiRADAR. The definition in GH create a random location on the outside of the balconies where will be placed the ARCHICAD objects plants Using the Stories ARCHICAD Component each balcony wall is correctly associated to the correct story. The balconies in ARCHICAD are generated using the Slab and Wall ARCHICAD component. The balconies are generated from a Python Script the script generate a random sequence of balconies you can manage these parameters: balconies depth, balconies minimum and maximum width, voids minimum and width, balconies height. Set "Sync Building" on True, Set "Building" on True (3). The skyscraper in ARCHICAD is generated using the Slab and Wall ARCHICAD component. Define your own Skyscraper using parameters: shape in Rhinoceros (1), stories, rotation, deformation (2). The first part of the definition in GH create a skyscraper from a shape selected in Rhinocers, with different parameters: story height, number of stories, progressive rotation of the stories, deformation of the stories. Add to your AC library the ArchiRADAR Plants for hangings and bushes. In ARCHICAD is important to define enough stories with the same height set in the GH definition (4,20 m default) you will have the attribution of each ARCHICAD element to the right story. Open ARCHICAD file, open Rhinoceros file, open Grasshopper file. The tutorial uses a definition in Grasshopper to define a skyscraper with random balconies and random plants.

Use the GH-AC Connection manual for further information. This tutorial is made using ARCHICAD 23, Rhinoceros 6 and ARCHICAD-Grasshopper Connection 3007.

The slabs are generated from intersect the main geometry with horizontal plans.įrom the model in Archicad we generated the BIM model you can download at this link: The Curtain wall is also generated from the shape and it updates according to the geometry of the main curve in Rhinoceros.

Without came back in Grasshopper we can add further details in the tiles modifying the GDL code in Archicad. The tiles objects have a particular option: the tile detect automatically the direction of the slope of the shape inverting the overlapping.

In MVO you can change the parameters of all the tile objects without open all single object for example you can change the slope direction, the angle, the thickness, the overlapping. We have also the possibility to manage different visualisation of the tile object according to the view automatic different visualisation is managed using a personal menu in Model View Option intentionally created for the tiles for example in floor plan the tile is a simple plan without thickness it means a faster elaboration of the 2d view.

Using object we have the possibility to manage a real projection in floor plan. To create the tiles the main shape is converted in mesh each single quadrangular face of the mesh has been used to create single Archicad Objects. The new shape with thickness has been converted in Archicad Morph using Morph we have the advantage to have a correct visualisation in 2d view. The generated surface in GH is used to create the mail shell creating an offset surface and connecting the two geometry. The shape is generated in Grasshopper using four free curves designed in Rhinoceros using the loft component.

All the drawings in layouts update themselves according to the modifications in Rhino and Grasshopper. The test also evaluate the possibility to generate extruded free shapes, and the use of Model View Option to control the shape of tile objects. In this experimental model we tested the potentiality of the Grasshopper Archicad Connection to generate a free form with tiles applied.
