The add-on offers a specific set of tools to generate glass elements based on geometric primitives or custom sketches:

The standout feature was the ability to create curtain walls based on any geometry. Users could draw a surface or a series of arcs and lines, and ArchiGlazing would "skin" the geometry with frames and glass panels. This was particularly useful for the curved facades that became popular in the early 2010s. Archiglazing for Archicad 16

In the evolution of architectural design software, certain versions stand as pivotal milestones. ArchiCAD 16, released in 2012, was one such milestone. It introduced the revolutionary MORPH tool and enhanced shell structures, empowering architects to break free from rigid rectangular forms. However, even with these native advancements, creating complex, free-form glass structures remained a challenge for many users. This is where entered the picture, bridging the gap between creative ambition and technical feasibility. The add-on offers a specific set of tools

“Archiglazing,” Elias mumbled, still half asleep. “But it only works in 16. And it asks for something in return.” In the evolution of architectural design software, certain

Elias shook his head. “No faking. The glazing has to breathe. It has to know the structure.”

This tool allows architects to create custom windows, doors, or freestanding glass structures directly from 2D sketches. By drawing shapes with lines, arcs, or circles, users can convert these drafts into functional, 3D window objects.

Because Archiglazing writes data into Archicad 16’s database, you can generate interactive schedules. Need to know how many 12mm tempered glass panels are in Zone B? Need the total linear meters of silicone sealant? Archiglazing exports this data to your standard Archicad 16 worksheet system.
