Connector
An Archicad add-on to exchange models with Speckle
Installation
Requirements
Mac Platforms
- Xcode 15.0 or higher
Windows Platforms
- Visual Studio 2019 (preferably 2022)
Dependencies
This package is dependent on the following SDKs/libraries - these should be named as follows in the same directory as speckle-cpp-connectors checkout (SpeckleConnector/../../):
-
"ActiveLib": https://github.com/r-wessel/ActiveLib
-
"Archicad 27": https://github.com/GRAPHISOFT/archicad-api-devkit/releases/tag/27.3001
The package is also dependent on "SpeckleLib", which is included in the speckle-cpp-connectors repository.
Building
The build process will automatically install the add-on if Archicad 27 is installed, but expects to find it at the standard path:
- macOS: /Applications/Graphisoft/Archicad 27
- Win: C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\Archicad 27
It may be necessary to permit write access to these directories to allow the build script to copy the necessary file(s).
Otherwise, the add-on can be installed manually.
