YES…

you can create your own custom library object in ARCHICAD with the standard ARCHICAD tools but it takes time and the result is….

YES…

it could have been better.

We created ModelPort to help you to create/edit/manage your custom library objects inside the ARCHICAD environment much more easily.

Because the details… YES, even the smallest detail matters.

ModelPort is an advanced Library Object editor and  3D model importer for GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD. Although ARCHICAD can handle many file formats and has great tools for the building design, adding and editing custom library objects is not easy.

ModelPort offers specialized tools for users who would like to enrich the ARCHICAD model with their custom objects.

Features

  • Dock-able browser for handling 3D file collections.
