Add objects like curtains, roof tiles, or floorboards to existing construction elements.

The is a collection of free Add-Ons developed by Graphisoft to extend the software's core capabilities. These tools provide specialized functionality for modeling, documentation, and workflow optimization that aren't included in the standard installation. Key Tools in the Goodies Suite

Let’s explore what makes the Goodies Suite for ArchiCAD 25 a must-have.

: This utility scans your project for identical elements (like two columns or slabs accidentally placed exactly on top of each other) and allows you to delete the extras in a single click. Where to find it : Edit > Check Duplicates 3. Construction Simulation

Once installed, the Goodies Suite adds several command structures to your Archicad menus. The most notable tools include: 1. 3D Studio In-Out (3DS Converter)

: Converts irregular "free-form" shapes modeled with the Mesh tool into Roof elements.

The "Goodies" are a set of additional tools and extensions developed by Graphisoft (the makers of Archicad) that are not included in the standard installation package. While Archicad "out of the box" is a complete BIM tool, the Goodies Suite acts as a power-user pack, filling small gaps in workflow, documentation, and data management.

It seamlessly converts 3D Studio files into ArchiCAD GDL objects, preserving textures and basic geometry coordinates. 2. Accessories (Roof, Slab, and Wall Accessories)

While extremely useful, there are important limitations to the Goodies Suite:

: These are "legacy" tools, meaning Graphisoft provides them for free but does not offer active technical support or future updates for them. Introduction to Archicad Goodies and demonstrations

It’s 11:00 PM, and Maya is finalizing a complex residential complex. The design is bold, but the technical documentation is lagging. The Geometry Challenge

The original Goodies Suite is no longer officially distributed by Graphisoft for newer versions. However, ArchiCAD 25 users can still find it through:

The Profiler is a tool for measuring and reporting on the performance of your Archicad project. It provides data on regeneration times and other metrics to help pinpoint elements that slow down your workflow.

This tool counts the 3D polygons in your project, grouping them by element type (e.g., walls, slabs). It helps identify performance bottlenecks and optimize complex models. The Polygon Counting Tool is typically found under Window > Palettes > Polygon Counter .
