Grasshopper-Archicad Live Connection Tool

In this tutorial, I show how to get started using the Grasshopper-Archicad Live Connection Tool. I use a multi-story building as an example to show how you can generate parametric geometry in Grasshopper3D, then synchronise it with Graphisoft Archicad. We create parametric floor slabs, a curtainwall and a column grid. In Archicad: File --- Interoperability --- Grasshopper Connection In Grasshopper: Archicad Tab (at the very top) --- Archicad Connection Palette Pseudo-code Goal: Create a high-rise with floor slabs and a curtainwall. The floor slabs will have rounded corners. Steps: 1. Create a closed polyline 2. Fillet the curve 3. Move the curve vertically (Z-axis) a number of times to represent each floor 4. Convert the curves to a slab with thickness (Archicad Component) 5. Use the original curve and extrude it to the top of the building (Archicad Component)
