You can also access libraries from BIMclouds.įor more information, see Library Manager. Using ARCHICAD’s Library Manager, you can load additional libraries or add individual library parts as embedded objects at any time.The standard ARCHICAD library, shipped as part of your program, contains hundreds of predefined standard objects.
If you want to try your hand at GDL scripting, start with Scripting Custom Objects. In some cases, you can sculpt in other 3D applications and import the 3D model.įor more information, see add-on specific documentation in the Graphisoft Documentation folder. You can use existing elements within ARCHICAD to create and save custom objects.įor more information, see Create Custom Library Parts and Components. ARCHICAD can easily import these libraries. Many manufacturers offer symbols or models of their products in DXF format.
DXF libraries are widespread in the CAD world and cover almost every area of engineering and design. Consult your dealer for availability information. These objects contain GDL scripts as well as other, application dependent data. A number of third party programs or Add-Ons let you create or edit GDL Objects. See especially the GDL Center, Graphisoft’s GDL knowledge base, at. On the Internet, you will find a growing number of websites dedicated to GDL Objects. įor information about importing surfaces, see New from Catalog (at Surfaces). BIM Components is a searchable and interactive depository of objects and surfaces contributed by ARCHICAD users.įor more information, see Search for Library Part and BIM Components. Through the Settings dialog box of Library Part elements, as well as Surfaces, you can access BIM Components () while browsing for library parts. Where to Find Objects for Use in ARCHICAD
