Limit | Detail |
|---|---|
Platform | Archicad 29 on macOS only. No Windows build, no Archicad 28 or 30 build. |
Direction | Archicad to Blender only. There is no push-back. |
Doors, windows, objects | Plain meshes. Not instanced, so many copies cost memory in Blender. |
Curtain walls, stairs, railings | Sent through whatever sub-elements Archicad lists in 3D. Not yet checked in a real project. |
Texture placement | Size and rotation are applied in code and tested headless. Not yet compared with Archicad's own view. |
Not sent | Lights, sun, cameras, saved views, zones, hotlink structure |
Reconnecting | The whole model is sent again. Blender skips rebuilding objects whose hash is unchanged. |
Teamwork | Not tested. A BIMcloud project renamed on the server counts as a new project. |
Same machine | The Archicad add-on connects to 127.0.0.1 only. |
Both apps | Archicad and Blender must both be running. |
