Hey @Community ,

For the last few months, our team has been hard at work crafting the next version of Speckle connectors. So far, we’ve integrated:

  • Revit
  • Rhino
  • SketchUp
  • AutoCAD
  • ArcGIS

As we continue to expand our ecosystem, we’re looking at potential new additions. Here’s where we need your insights! :star2: Our current candidates for the next integration are:

  • Archicad
  • Navisworks
  • Civil3D

We believe in the power of community suggestions! :raised_hands: What app do you think should join the next-gen family next?

Please add Morta to the list.

Hello,
In the perspective of new VisualARQ 3, the possibility to expand and integrate Rhino - Speckle connector functions with VA data it would be a great thing.
Thank you

Inventor could be a great one. Folk on the fabrication side use it a lot

Can you expand on this? We already have a Rhino connector. This might be a quick win if you can explain what you are trying to achieve?

  1. Blender
  2. Unreal Engine (its modeling tools are quickly improving in line with UEFN)

Hi @gokermu,
I have already highlighted this issue in the past.
VisulARQ is able to provide BIM oriented native components (also rhino geometry) that they can populate of data informations as parameters and attributes. But if you open the 3D models in Speckle this informations data, they are not imported (for e.g. Ifc type, dimension and quantity parameters, custom attribute and so on). It would be really great to have it.
Thank you again

I vote for AchiCAD. It should have been in the top list as well.

Absolutely Archicad. from a professional architect’s perspective, this should have been done before sketchup.

Any assembly modeler (SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.). AEC is desperately lacking tools to connect design to fabrication/manufacturing. See Autodesk “Informed Design” is maybe the closest idea out there currently.

What’s the workflow you had in mind? Let’s say you had a Solidworks/Inventor connector today. What’s one thing you can do that you can’t currently?

Have a low LOD model in Revit of a building element (say a metal balcony, or stair, facade panel, etc.), then have the ability to push that into SW. Use could then detail the object in SW, then push the high LOD model back into Revit for coordination. Basically facilitating a design → fabrication workflow.

Hey @here and others voted in the poll,

Thanks to your votes in the above poll, over 60% of you have chosen Archicad as the next connector you wanted to see—so we listened! :ear:

We’re excited to announce that the next-gen Archicad connector is already in the works and will be available as part of our next release! :tada:

:rocket: Want to be the first to try it out? You can download next-gen connectors and stay ahead of the curve: releases.speckle.systems/v3

Stay tuned!!
