Grasshopper - ArchiCAD live connection Evaluation - not possible at the moment?

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Thank you for confirming that it is possible to get it to work.

Indeed the connection seams to be working between ArchiCAD 24 and Rhino 7.0 - but the install process is far from smooth. Here is what I did, if anyone has the same problem:

  1. download, and install Rhino 6. It only asks for licence for starting the software - which you don’t need
  2. install the ArchiCAD connection. It will work this time.
  3. the installer puts a ArchiCADConnection.gha file to rhino6/plug-ins/grashopper. Copy it to rhino 7.
  4. the .gha will not load at this point, as it needs Newtonsoft.Json.dll to run. It is renamed as Newtonsoft.Json.Rhino.dll in rhino 7. I copied the one from the rhino 6/system to Rhino 7/system. Seams to be working
  5. at this point ArchiCAD stopped working. I needed to reinstall it
  6. after the reinstall, is seams to be working fine (well at least on the surface)
