Architectural 100 Penset

KeesW — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 01:25:26 GMT

Does anybody use the architectural 100 pen set? It is supposed to be an internationally developed combination of lines and colours. Cadimage use it as the basis for their tools but are there any others doing so? Whilst extremely rational, It is also very complicated, unintuitive and unlike any other combinations that I have ever seen. ArchicadWiki has a good description of it.

I've just received AC15 and it doesn't have it, or anything like it, in its options.

Huh -- I've never heard of it, but will look into it -- thanks.

My observations after a first glance:

First, the AC15 template does not contain all of the Pen Sets listed.

Second, it seems odd that the "Architectural 100" set is listed as the default.

Third, the AC15 library doesn't seem to use the "Architectural 100" set, in which case I'd stay away from it until it does.

That is why I thought - nobody uses it!
I'll take it up with Cadimage.
