The Mac OS Users Can Download Free Version Of Grasshopper-ARCHICAD Live Connection

GRAPHISOFT, the trusted name in developing Building Information Modeling (BIM) for architects, has launched its intelligent GrasshopperARCHICAD Live Connection for the Mac OS. The first ever bi-directional "live" connection facilitates Rhino and Grasshopper users to be associated with a professional BIM software (ARCHICAD) on both the Windows and Mac platforms.

Rhino-Grasshopper-ARCHICAD connections empower the architects to use the power of the three design programs Rhino, Grasshopper and ARCHICAD and reduce the interval in the design practice among initial phase of design and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Now, Mac users will be able to avail this unique connection with the tools apart from continuous bi-directional geometry transmission and transform basic geometrical shapes to into complete BIM elements, whereas keeping algorithmic editing functionality same.

"We're pleased to offer this revolutionary algorithmic design-to-BIM workflow to our Mac users as well," said Peter Temesvari, Director of Product Management, GRAPHISOFT. The designers can now produce superior design with this revolutionary algorithmic design-to-BIM workflow integrated with the greater architectural BIM solution that operates on Mac platform.

The users can click on the following link to download the free Grasshopper-ARCHICAD Live Connection plug-in for ARCHICAD 20.

GRAITEC launched Ball Post Railing Designer add-on for Autodesk Advance Steel 2016

GRAITEC, the leading French BIM and CAD software vendor, just released the Ball Post Railing Designer add-on. It is a free downloadable extension for Autodesk Advance Steel 2016.

With this newly released add-on, the users can get rid of the laborious & monotonous process for designing generic components of BIM models.

By applying this add-on, the users will be able to generate ball post railing systems in their building information modeling (BIM) designs with the help of a manufacturer’s pre-built system or designing a custom system.

There are options with custom systems that involve various features of the following design process :-

• Possibility for creating design with curved elements.
• Revision of kickrails.
• Post length and ball size definition.
• Top and middle handrail modification.
• Capability of denoting the number and distance of posts.

Increasing quick availability of BIM Elements: The Ball Post Railing Designer app saves significant times for users in their modeling process as well as enhance the productivity. It develops the scopes for generating pre-defined designs in BIM and facilitates the architects and engineers not to produce generic parts over and over again.

The Ball Post Railing Designer is specifically designed for steel detailing, construction and structural engineering.

To get more updates on the various features of Ball Post Railing Designer add-on for Advance Steel, visit the GRAITEC website (http://www.graitec.com/en/ball_post_railing_designer.asp)
