Bring OSM context to Archicad

Quite often we need to populate the surroundings for our BIM projects. Some programs such as Twinmotion have the native ability to crop a portion of a city and generate 3D buildings. But what if your BIM software lacks this ability. Archicad is such a BIM environment. Luckily there is the live connection with Grasshopper,…

Shadow 3D analysis for BIM

If you have a building site and you wonder where do you want to plant trees given that certain kind of trees have specific sunlight requirements it may be a difficult task to determine the areas where it’ll be beneficial. Most BIM software have the capability to set-up the sun based on the location of…

Shelter parametric models

Traditional CAD tools let us precisely model an instance of a physical unit within a computer environment however these models are static and any design change or slight modification of parameters will require partial or full remodelling of the virtual object.In contrast, the recently developed algorithmic modelling tools offer the possibility to create not just…

Parametric weaving

The algorithm The weaving is the result of interlacing the fabric yarns that are placed in the direction of the fabric length (warp) by yarns that follow the direction of the fabric width (weft). Three fundamental types are distinguished in the traditional textile business: plain weave – obtained by lifting alternately the even or the…
