Place Gutter & Downspout
Place gutters faster in Archicad along selected roofs or roof edges, then add downspouts by selecting a gutter and a fixing point. Size and position are set automatically.
Faster gutter placement
Create gutters around selected roofs in a few clicks instead of placing them manually one by one.
Automatic size and position
The add-on sets size and position automatically, so you can start from a clean result and fine-tune only when needed.
Automatic downspout placement
Select the gutter and the fixing point, and place the downspout with automatic size and placement.
