Hey man, any idea why my curtain wall ends with either a brick that is thinner, or a line of mortar, but not with an entire stone? Cant seem to solve it
In several presentations and online industry calls I have been on in Australia, sadly many leaders of the industry are yet to even read this key standard.
This shortfall should be addressed by the Information Manager who should be employed to help fill this need if the appointing part does not have the knowledge or experience. This role can be fulfilled by a delighted 3 party who is a certified information manager professional, or at the very least a certified information manager practitioner.
I would like to ask you what a certifier information manager is? What qualification do they hold? Across the world I have seen many projects proclaiming to be delivered in accordance with ISO19650, with information managers engaged by the appointing party to perform the role on their behalf, and still the quality of the information requirements is sub-par! It just requires a lot of education on the opportunities to make this a really simple process. Sadly people are making it a lot more complex than it really needs to be.
Does your computer meet the minimum specified requirements that Enscape recommend? If so I would strongly recommend that you reach out to Enscape directly and seek their support with the issues you are facing.
Does anyone know how to make the Symbol text "P" editable string text, and have its own parameter. Or even better reference it from the models classification and properties tab ?
One wonders if behind closed doors, Rugby League and Union power brokers have convinced the Premier and LNP leader to divert more money to Suncorp, rather than see Australian Football benefit from a new stadium, Cricket be damned.
Getting some terrible crashes in AC27 when performing the box stretch as in 9:27 of this video. Could this happen with overly complex geometry? The hit and miss pattern I'm working on is about 2 times more complex than the one Laszlo modelled.
I think that the complexity might be your issue. I would test out creating the pattern in an empty file. By testing it in a different file you can see if it is the complexity or the file itself.
@@donifconinternatiionalltd8357 because I use a 46 inch wide screen I have never needed to have the two windows overlapping the other, so for me I haven;t really tested it.
@@SkewedBIM sure. Maybe Graphisoft needs to review all the planned features be their priority. So that more powerful tools would be developed earlier. I haven’t seen categories in the roadmap btw.
keep it up guys. Graphisoft should invest more in promoting archicad and adding more options like this one to it. More tools for structural and MEP engineers should be developed for archicad
Glad you enjoyed Enzyme’s presentation. There are a lot of different areas that people want developed further in Archicad. Over time Graphisoft will get to a lot of the wishes from the users from across the globe. It does make it harder now that there are additional disciplines added to the tool. They are working on all of the streams currently so hopefully what they release aligns with your needs.
i got an overdoze of creativity after watching this video, good job, i'm impressed of the amount of work they did to make life easier, unfortunately, the GDL power is always kept as a secret, i think GDL experts should share their knowledge with younger users, to unleash the real power of archicad.
It is a complex beast to get your head into. There really does need to be more GDL courses out there and I personally feel it needs to be simplified a bit more for the average user.
I'm using AC27 on an Intel-based Mac - the USA version. I feel like it's right under my nose, but the design options palette is nowhere to be found. I can see clues to its existence -- for example -- views have a design option setting and objects have a design option drop down menu. I cannot find anything on the community forum of anyone else not having access to design options in their AC27. Anyone else having the same problem as me?
You should be able to find the Design Options Palette from the Window Menu>Palettes>Design Options If you are not able to see it in the palettes I would suggest loading the AC27 work environment. If you have loaded a work environment that you have created from a previous release then the new menu items may not appear.
There are a few you can access. Firstly there is CI Door and Window Tool here > centralinnovation.com/archicad/extensions/ci-tools-doors-windows/ Secondly there is Cadswift Infinite openings here > cadswift.com.au/product/infinite-openings/
I think the point Pat was trying to get across is that unlike traditionally scripted elements the majority came from geometry saved as an object. He then demonstrates the method of adding scripting to the object to make it more usable.
In the end it can be handled by layers so I don’t see it as a big failure on the tools front. I think there are other areas that need a strong focus to be honest.
re: Find & Select Criteria Sets: i've been using them alot & across many projects. the great thing is that i'm able to export them (.xml file i think) & import them to older projects that don't have them. i just continually add them to my folder full of Criteria Sets for things that i constanty re-use. some of the most used ones for me are a simple Element Type "All 2D) + Layer "[Archicad layer as a placeholder]"... this allows you to select all 2D elements for one drawing type (RCP / Slab / Finishes plans etc) i also use them for Quality Control, in combination with Graphic Overrides: elements which have empty Classifications, Static Dimensions (although GOs are more useful for this) one of the things i like about this is that in Teamwork files, you can keep them as a Private Criteria Set, where only you can access it or push them to Public for everyone to have access to it.
I really have to take the time to sit down and write down a list of presets that will work for my specific template and workflows. In 20 years of using the software I have been very random in my find and select usage hence not putting presets in place. But I think now should be the time.
with inside.revit I can "pull" whole objects of a category only by 1 gh component. in archicad I must select one by one wall/column..etc.. Or there is a way to do that which I dont know ?
I agree on the Digital Engineer title, but it's really a stretch saying that Architects coordinate past the design phase. Architects aren't provided with the real world content early enough to avoid re-coordination after 100% design.
It depends on the contract. I the majority of projects I have been involved in I have been the Superintendent on the project, therefore following the project all the way through to completion. So I have extensive experience working with contractors to resolve any issues that are not covered clearly in the documentation.
