Still Can't Get Archicad Connector to work

[abourgoin (Aaron Bourgoin)]

I’ve managed to get Speckle to appear in my Archicad menu, but nothing launches when I activate it. The installer put the add-on files inside my application support folder, not directly into the Archicad Add-ons folder. I found it, moved it into place and from there I could see it in the Interoperability menu, but nothing past that.

Hi @abourgoin,

Which version of the Archicad connector do you have?
Thanks,
József

Hi @jozsef.l.kiss

I’m also having troubles installing the Archicad Connector for Windows.

• I tried installing it via the Speckle Manager 2.9.8.
• I tried installing the latest offical version of the connector 2.12.4 as well as well as 2.13.0-rc2.
• I also tried to install it manually with amin rights from the download page.
• I have both the german version of Archicad25 and 26 with the latests updates installed.
• Archicad26 is in the 30 day trial mode and Archicad25 in demo mode.
• The Plugin is not showing up in the Add-On-Manager

Archicad Version:

Version	Sprache	Build	Platform	Typ
26	GER	4022	Win64	FULL

Speckle is installing the Connector to the follwing location:
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Speckle\Archicad

The standard folder for Addins in Archicad is as follows:
C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\Archicad 26

I would be very thankful for any kind of help.

Thanks a lot and all the best, Lukas

Hi @jozsef.l.kiss

I just found this post on the forum and it seems to be the same issue and it also works for me.

Archicad Speckle Connector

As it was not automatically set, I did it like this: a) Go to Options in the menu bar b) Click on Add-On Manager c) Add the Add-On manually [image] d) Go to directory “C:\Users\ahofbeck\AppData\Roaming\Speckle\Archicad\26\Add-Ons” and select the file with *.apx type.

I have Archicad 25 and 26 for Mac, both updated to current build.

[abourgoin (Aaron Bourgoin)]

sorry, jozef,

I’ve loaded 2.13 beta 6, for Archicad and Rhino.

Hey folks, @abourgoin @herrlukas any luck with the latest release?

[abourgoin (Aaron Bourgoin)]

no luck as yet. The speckle Manager installed v2.13.3 (Alpha). This landed in my Add-Ons folder as a bundle file. I can see an item in my Interoperability menu that doesn’t do anything.

I added the "ALPHA Speckle Connector) item to one of my toolbars via my Work Environment settings. When I click it, nothing happens.

[jozsef.l.kiss (József L. Kiss)]

Could you please try it with 2.14-rc10? We’ve fixed quite a few issues around the installer in that version. Thanks!

[abourgoin (Aaron Bourgoin)]

Thanks Jozsef. I was able to send something to a stream with this version. Now to figure out how to consolidate elements to a stream and view them. Happy to be abele to start experimenting.
