GH-AC Live Connection • The Best-in-class Computational BIM Workflow

Rather than re-invent the wheel and develop an algorithmic design tool from scratch, Graphisoft decided to integrate with the most popular application for that purpose, Rhino/Grasshopper. The connection is actually ‘live’ and operating in real-time, allowing users to conceptualize building forms and create native ARCHICAD components directly from Rhino/GH interface. A big advantage of this workflow over Rhynamo, Mantis Shrimp or Flux is that the user has to manage only one dataflow graph in Grasshopper that allows for both Parametric exploration and BIM interrogation.
