I have imported object from ArchiCAD that I would like to convert into a HB Model and wonder if you could help me out. The rooms was quite easy, I use HB Room from solid to convert spaces to HB roms but I wonder how to convert the windows in a easy way? I can import the ArchiCAD building into Rhino using IFC, Speckle and RhinoInside but prefer Speckle and IFC since I do not have ArchiCAD on the same computer as Rhino.
Hi @maxt, It is really hard to answer this question without having a sample file. You usually have to find the bounding box of the windows and project it to the room face to get a clean aperture which then can be added to the room.
Thanks, this was exactly my idea. Right now I can assume that the windows are rectangular but do you know if there are some suitable components or comands to make bounding boxes and espessially project these onto the rooms?
Hi Maxt
The easiest way is creating a zone with walls and windows in Archicad, how you said, you can convert the the Archicad’s Zone in a HB Room from solid, and use aperture for the windows, the trick here is that in Archicad you have to simplify the option view in 3d of the doors and windows with that you won’t have any problem
