Door handle in floor plan?

furtonb — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:42:38 GMT

Hi,

I haven't found a way to turn on handles in floor plan view for doors and windows (I checked the library part settings and model view options) for the default library parts with symbolic view. Is there a way to do this? I don't want to open doors in 3D and draw the opening lines manually, so using the projected option is not a solution now.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, AFAIK, still not possible with Archicad. Been waiting for this for a loooong time too.

Hi,

I have just made a door brand in AC 23 for the hinged doors of the French library which can display the projection of the handles, the dimensions of the leaves, an fire exit symbol, ... all managed with model view options

It can be downloaded free of charge from the Archi-Cadlink forum after registration and presentation.

I did a little test and I can easily make it compatible with the international library if you are interested

I specify that it is just for hinged doors

Could you point us to where we can download it? I found the forum in French but not sure it's there to be found?

Hi Yves,

have you finished the version for the international library? This looks great! It will be very helpful if you did it yet!

Yves work with a door marker.

If you want to modify Archicad doors to show handles, he has a workaround, but you'll need to code a little.

Oh, i get it now, thank you!
Is it too complicated to make your own door marker? We are thinking here in company, to make our own door marker with specific parameters and symbols, but im not sure if it worth it? (in terms of spending time on learning how to produce custom door marker)

Yves' door marker is a good example, with intelligent use of MVO.

For the investement part, it is up to you. I'm workin atm on Yves' marker for my company to improve the MVO use, but markers does'nt seem to be developped by Graphisoft anymore, so you should invest in coding labels.

Go to hinged door settings > door settins and opening , 3d detail level - FULL > handle and kick board ; select a handle > opening type , 2d and 3d opening angle 50.00 > model attributes, 3d detail level - FULL .

Now go to floor pland and section of hinged door in settings and Floor plan display set Projected !

As pointed out by the OP, the issue with doing this is that it does it not show opening lines and is linked to the 3D opening angle / length which means it will impact your elevations, sections and 3D views.

- Turn on your handle;

- 3D openning angle with 90º;

- In Floor Plan Display (Element Settings) > Projected with Overhead;

Make sure your door options in model view option are correct.

Hi,

You need to set the Floor Plan Display to Projected, and then open the door leafs in 3D. The leaf's rotating line won't appear, but the door handles will be visible. You can either code your own doors or manually draw the rotating line.

You can set
