Archicad Add-on

CloyaBridge

Publish Archicad layouts straight into Cloya.

What it does

One bridge between Archicad and Cloya.

CloyaBridge is a free Archicad add-on. It publishes your layouts as Cloya-PDF (a normal PDF that carries Cloya data in its backpack) and keeps issues in sync between the two.

Add a Cloya-PDF format to any Publisher set (or export the current layout from the menu). Each page gets a stable identity and the drawing scales travel along as scale zones, so Cloya knows the scale of every drawing without you re-entering it. Existing PDF publishing keeps working untouched.

The bridge goes both ways: import Cloya markups as native Archicad issues (placed on the right layout), and write Archicad issues back into a Cloya PDF as notes. No login, no licence. Drop the add-on into Archicad's Add-Ons folder and it is there.

  • Cloya-PDF Publisher format: scale zones + stable page identities embedded
  • Document Options: toggle scale zones and issues
  • Import Cloya markups as native Archicad issues, located on the layout
  • Export Archicad issues into a Cloya PDF as notes
  • Free and login-free, uses Archicad's own PDF engine

What it handles

  • Scales arrive in Cloya automatically, no re-measuring per drawing
  • Markups survive re-published revisions via stable page identities
  • Issues stay in one place, mirrored both ways
  • Nothing to buy, nothing to log into

Why it helps

  • Archicad users who review plans in Cloya
  • Offices standardising on Cloya-PDF for plan review
  • Teams that track issues across Archicad and Cloya
