πŸ‘€ Sneak Peek of the Upcoming Archicad Connector Alpha

Hey Jorge,

Great to hear that you enjoy your experience with Speckle and thank you for your feedback.

Model objects in Speckle are organised in collections by object type, structure we implement consistently across all our connectors. This is geared towards object type workflows but I understand your preference for layers. We will add layer property to Archicad objects which will help to filter the model and will enable re-shuffling your model by layer with automation features we are currently working on, more news soon.

Classification properties have been implemented recently and you access them in any object. It is currently not possible to filter by classification in the Viewer but our aim is to enable filtering by any property. By the way, we will talk about the latest Viewer updates at our next Community Stand Up next week, check it out.

In the meantime, you can try our PowerBI Connector with embedded Viewer which gives you more flexibility and allows filtering by classification. Here is a demo:

Receiving BIM objects with properties to Rhino is already enabled for Revit and Archicad will follow too. You will be able to access object data in user attributes.

Could you tell me more about your workflows? You build furniture pieces in Archicad and then you send to Rhino for fabrication documentation? Do you also send models from Rhino to Archicad? Any more details would be great.
