1. I have the same issue as Eric with a fresh new insall of rihio 5.4.2 evaluation on MAc Os (valid until end of August 2018). Did you validate your evaluation license? If not, please run ValidateLicense, then Quit and re-launch Rhino. Grasshopper should be available until the evaluation period expires.
2. Rhino is a 3D modeler used to create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS. curves, surfaces, and solids, point clouds, and polygon meshes. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size beyond those of your hardware.
3. New in Grasshopper for Rhino 0.8.0062: Added Content Filter section to the Preferences (Interface section). All users will be asked to specify the level of content filtering in the Grasshopper GUI.

Rhinoceros and Grasshopper – developed by Robert McNeel & Associates – are considered market leaders in industrial design modeling and algorithmic design.
Now, designers have various options to connect Archicad's professional BIM work environment with the modeling power of Rhino and Grasshopper.

For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper® is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino's 3-D modeling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring.

Prerequisites

Before installing any connections, make sure that Archicad, Rhinoceros3D and Grasshopper is installed on your computer.

Grasshopper – Archicad Live Connection

Important Notes:

• The v23 & v24 of Grasshopper – Archicad Live Connection supports Rhino 5 and Rhino 6 on both platforms (Win & macOS).
• On Windows both v21,v22 of Grasshopper – Archicad Live Connection supports Rhino6.
• On macOS both v21 and v22 of Grasshopper – Archicad Live Connection supports Rhino5. They don't support Rhino6 WIP.

Rhinoceros Import/Export Add-ons

Important Notes:

Rhino 6 format is not supported in the built in Rhinoceros Import/Export function in Archicad 22.

From Archicad 20 on these Add-Ons are part of the Archicad package. In Archicad 19 and 18 install these free Add-ons to enable Archicad to import and export models using Rhino's native (.3dm) file format.

Import Rhino Model to Archicad

My nook for mac. Rhino Importer Add-on enables Archicad users on both the Mac and Windows platforms to pass on the model or part of the model produced in Rhino to Archicad. This Add-on, available for Archicad 18 and 19, enables you to open or merge native Rhino (*.3dm) files directly in Archicad.

Export Archicad Model to Rhino

Rhino Exporter Add-on enables Archicad users on both the Mac and Windows platforms to pass on the model or part of the model produced in ARHICAD to Rhino. This Add-on, available for Archicad 18 and 19, enables you to save the Archicad 3D model as a Rhino file (*.3DM).

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

Grasshopper App

Download and launch this 'GSM-LCF exporter for Rhino 5' Rhino plug-in to be able to save/export Rhino models.

WinRAR for Mac OS X is one of the most popular archive managers for Apple devices. The program offers the same number of functions, as its Windows and Linux versions. You can easily perform compression of the highest level, unpack archives, create self-extracting archives and much more.

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.

grep -F 8 TerminalCommandsListing.txtman -k. All commands for mac terminal. grep -F 9 TerminalCommandsListing.txtman -k.

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

Before installing any connections, make sure that Archicad, Rhinoceros3D and Grasshopper is installed on your computer.

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.

Grasshopper For Rhino Mac

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
