Craftsman Objects

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:33:06 GMT

Hi, I'm looking for craftsman/arts & crafts style objects- even just a bracket part. This revit website basically:
http://www.revitcity.com/downloads.php?action=search&keywords=craftsman+window&search_area=downloads.php

I know I can edit a a lot of the windows to look that way but it would be great if I didn't have to. Anyone have these parts or at least know where I can find a bracket object. Or how to make revit objects into archicad objects??

Any help would be awesome.

First you should add a profile with your OS and your version of ArchiCAD since the answers you receive can depend on that information.

That said, the bracket is easy to create with slabs and then turn into an object or morph for positioning. Use the help files to learn how to do either of these operations. If you want an object for the bracket that is parametric, it will have to be scripted. I have attached a basic one for your use that was scripted in AC 16 (it will not work for lower versions).

The windows are a more complicated answer. You will not likely find a window that you can just put in that will look the way you want because most windows will be scripted and will need their parameters adjusted. However, once you adjust them for one window, you can use the parameter transfer methods to inject future windows and then you will only need to change sizes as necessary. If you have a special window that you can not create this way, you can create a window with building elements (walls, slabs, columns, beams, etc) face down in a floor plan (ideally at 0 elevation and at your origin) then save this as a window object. Again, the steps are in the help files.

I like Smartparts Doors and Windows. They are pretty versatile. The bracket also is from his Trim Library. http://www.ddgi.com

The screen shot is very easy with his windows.

Thanks. I have Archicad 17 and none of that is in my library and my google searches didn't turn up those parts either. Where did you find them/ what did you google?

I know you are trying to help, but those parts are from the Smartparts Trim library, which is how Neil makes his living, so to publicly give them away would not be something he would appreciate.

Rick,

I do not remember from where I download this objects, but they where for free.
If the admin thinks in another way, he/she can remove my post.

I just deleted andro55's post in which he attached the GSM files so we don't infringe on any intellectual properties.
