Archicad Modeling Full Building Information
The plugins seem to be further developed (geometry from Cinema4D into ArchiCAD as GDL object and geometry from ArchiCAD into Cinema4D for visualization), but the cut down MaxonForm was a one-time only applications, so it seems.Rhino 3D is a powerful 3D modeling software that can do things ArchiCAD can’t.

Integrate the structural model and the architectural model in one shared design hub, resulting in a powerful, collaborative environment.Yes the curtain wall is a new interesting feature on modeling , i think archicad has moved more from design capabilities to institutional standards , as an architect designer , i think archicad need more options on the design free form shapes , more now , because the only one way to do this , MAXONFORM , has been discontinuedObjects for Archicad GDL objects contain all the information necessary to completely describe building elements as 2D CAD symbols, 3D models and text.The GRAPHISOFT MEP Modeler for ARCHICAD 21 is an Add-On developed for the ARCHICAD user interface: architectural and engineering firms can model and edit 3D MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) systems and networks (ductwork, pipework, cable trays) and coordinate them in ARCHICAD BIM models by using ARCHICAD tools and interface.REVIT Residential Drafter / Interior Design Support Part Time/Contract Design Degree required 5-7 years experience Small, Residentia.

How would it be of benefit to residential designers, for example? Don't even get me started on the fact that rendering capabilities in AC (which are grounded in a poorly, crippled and half-heartedly implemented Lightworks engine from 3 versions ago, are also now loped off to C4D as well (or Artlantis if you prefer that route).I'll actually wait until they release the program, but from everything I've seen thus far, ArchiCAD 12 is, or rather is going to be a disappointment in many areas. And Let's not even forget that the bridge itself was/is so problematic that geometry that could be easily handled in Maxonform/C4D, when transferred back to ArchiCAD, couldn't be easily documented (which was part of the whole point) if you were lucky, or more likely it easily cause it to crash due to the polycount, despite optimization in C4D.And I don't even consider the Curtain wall tool to be an improvement of the modeling tool-set since only a limited number of people stand to benefit from it given it's apparent limitations and GS's usual half-step implementation ala the Complex profiler from AC10. Even compared to most of ArchiCAD's other third-party plugins that try to integrate the logic or a sense of the logic of AC's interface and workflow, it's just like working in a different world. It's a program that was developed for product developers, character modelers and animators and consequently the logic by which you perform different functions in it in the sense of modeling greatly differs from that of conventional CAD and architectural design/modeling tools. In fact this perception, for lack of further clarification from GS themselves subsequently seemed to be supported by their ceasing support for further Maxonform development last year ( a plugin, which I must say, neither they nor Maxon seemed interested in developing even as it remained deeply rooted in C4D's antiquated v9.1 engine even as C4D got upgraded to v9.5 and v10 and v10.5 last year) as most people anticipated, or rather hoped for considerable if not vast improvements in AC's modeling tools in v12 and possibly 13, following Version 11's poor improvements in this area.And yet here we are after the announcement of v12 and the company line is a suggestion to use Cinema4D instead of Maxonform? Again I say, ridiculous!I for one don't like C4D's interface, it's GUI or it's work-flow. You’ve now substantially updated ArchiCAD’s freeform modeling ability so that it can match Revit’s capability.not that I'm blaming you or any of the other betatesters for this, but for Graphisoft's part that's just plain ridiculous.Generation of Grapgisoft Archicad models for BIM (Building Information Modeling) solutions with point cloud obtained with 3D scanning by laser scanner.It was not more than 2 or 3 years ago (shortly after Maxonform was released and people were wondering if this was to be GS's strategy for dealing with the development of modeling tools) that one of their own developers on this very forum stated that, Maxonform, or rather the presence of Maxonform was not to be taken as a sign that they were not interested in developing or improving ArchiCAD's core modeling tools, and in fact his words were something to the effect that Maxonform is not a part of Graphisoft's long-term plans and strategies for the modeling tools development.I wish I could find that exact post - one of the few times they used to ever bother to responding to user posts questions and inquiries I'll try to see if I can find it, but I distinctly remember it, as being an indicator that it was not necessary to invest in purchasing or learning Maxonform over the long term, if one didn't need to since GS seemed inclined to bring the level and power of AC's modeling tool-set to the level, or rather, close to the level of Maxonform in terms of versatility and robustness.

Sorry to have to put Akos on the spot for this since I'm sure he's a very good and capable product manager at GSHQ, but the exact quote went as follows:I have to emphasize that introducing MaxonForm does NOT mean that we stop developing ArchiCAD’s own modeling capabilities. I will also be very very glad to be wrong and way off base here since this is likely to be more useful to me as a complete tool than notIncidentally, I found the post I referenced earlier regarding GS's plans and Maxonform. I would be curious to see the examples you mentioned above (link please) since they did not feature any of them in the official demo videos). Such as the fact that the featured building on the ArchiCAD 12 demo videos and presumably to be on the box as well, did not have its curtain wall, or more specifically the curving area at the top of the building, built using the Curtain wall tool (since its incapable of curving or profiling in the Z-axis) but instead was done in an earlier version using tedious GDL coding methods.That, to me, considerably limits its versatility and function beyond the building types and design types I mentioned. It really functions in a different way than previous tools and seems to indicate a whole different direction for "tool" development from GS.I only have limited exposure to the tool, but I'd wait to see what it is capable of before writing it off as unusable for residential use.I'm merely going by comments and statements that have been made by Beta-testers who have had experience with it. I saw a tudor half timber wall, a decorative tile floor, a handrail, a timber roof and a sloping skylight curb made using the "curtain wall tool".
And now Maxonform is dead.In retrospect, it's somewhat easier to understand from that thread, why GS developers now tend to stay away from posting or participating on these forums since their words can have to tendency to com back and haunt them.Regardless I would still prefer to have a developer who tells me a certain feature or features will be developed and when it doesn't happen then they still have the decency to let us know that this is the case and explain why it wouldn't or can't happen - rather than being left in the dark as seems to be the standard policy now. MaxonForm is a tool to create free-form organic objects.PostPosted: Fri 4:11 pm Post subject: Re: Maxon Freeform in ArchiCad.and was a pretty interesting thread overall.
