Rhinoceros – GDL Converter
Install these free plug-ins to convert Rhino models to native Archicad GDL elements – standalone objects (.gsm) or library containers (.lcf).
Please watch this video to find out more about how to install the necessary plug-ins, and how to import a model created in Rhinoceros into Archicad as native GSM objects. The video first presents the “Single Object Import” workflow using.gsm files and then the “Complex Structure Import” using .lcf files.
Steps to import Rhinoceros models to Archicad
Download and install plug-in for Rhino
Download and launch this “GSM-LCF exporter for Rhino 5” Rhino plug-in to be able to save/export Rhino models.
GSM-LCF exporter for Rhino 5
Choose import method
Depending on the size of the Rhino model, choose one of these two import methods:
Single Object Import to Archicad
Use this workflow to import small-sized single objects or groups of small objects saved in GSM format to Archicad.
Save Rhino model as GSM file
In Rhino, select the model or its parts you want to export and save them as GSM Object File using the “GSM-LCF Exporter for Rhino 5” plug-in. Go to File/Save or File/Export Selected and in the upcoming dialog choose the “Archicad GDL Object” file type (extension .gsm).
Place the object in Archicad
In Archicad, add the object to the Embedded Library, then place it into the Archicad project as an Object.
Complex Structure Import into Archicad
Use this workflow for larger and complex Rhino models to convert them into a set of (smaller) GDL objects. This process enables the user to retain separate logical parts within the same model while providing a functionality to monitor and easily update the imported Rhino models in Archicad. The LCF option is also advised to enable Archicad’s performance optimization algorithm to work seamlessly on an imported large Rhino model.
Save Rhino model as LCF file
In Rhino, select the object(s) you want to export as a reference model to Archicad. Go to File/Save or File/Export Selected and save them as LCF Container File using the “GSM-LCF Exporter for Rhino 5” plug-in. In the upcoming dialog choose the “Archicad GDL Object Library” file type (extension .lcf).
Download and install the “Rhino LCF Observer” Add-On for Archicad
Rhino LCF Observer 20 for Windows
Rhino LCF Observer 20 for Mac OS X
Rhino LCF Observer 19 for Windows
Rhino LCF Observer 19 for Mac OS X
Rhino LCF Observer 18 for Windows
Rhino LCF Observer 18 for Mac OS X
Place LCF model in Archicad
In Archicad, add the LCF file as a Linked Library in Library Manager, then place it into the Archicad project as an Object. Using the “Rhino LCF Observer” Add-On you can place all objects from the LCF files, and/or to update any placed instances as needed.
