Use the Speckle Connector for ArchiCAD to publish your model to a Speckle stream that a Real-Time LCA project listens to.

​
Prerequisites

  • An ArchiCAD version supported by the Speckle Connector.
  • Your Real-Time LCA Speckle credentials for https://api.realtimelca.com (sent by email when you activated your account — see Introduction to Speckle).
  • A Real-Time LCA project configured with a Speckle Connection (see Create a new project).

​
Install the connector

Download the Speckle Connector for ArchiCAD from releases.speckle.systems and follow the installer instructions. After restarting ArchiCAD, the connector is available from the Tools menu.

​
Publish a model

  1. Open your ArchiCAD project.
  2. Launch the Speckle Connector and sign in to the Real-Time LCA Speckle server (https://api.realtimelca.com).
  3. Pick the project and model that matches your Real-Time LCA project’s stream.
  4. Select the elements to publish.
  5. Click Publish — Real-Time LCA picks up the new version automatically.

​
Parameter mapping

Make sure the parameter Real-Time LCA uses to group elements (by default BIMTypeCode) is populated on your ArchiCAD elements before publishing.
