Setting sidelight width - Part 1

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 15:52:08 GMT

HELP for v19 indicates that, for doors and windows, there is a page entitled "Shape" (see attachment: Screen Shot A). I am attempting to set a sidelight width and cannot find the page. What am I missing?

You are correct that info is missing.

You can adjust the width of the sidelight by dragging the "hotspot" in plan view.
You can also hit the TAB key to input a dimension into the "Sidelight Width" dialogue.

Seems like there are a lot of bugs in AC19 object settings.

Hi All,

This UI (User Interface) bug was previously reported and should be fixed in a Library Update (separate from the main line Updates). I do not have an ETA for the release date of a Library Update at this point.

In the meantime, one possible workaround is to load the ARCHICAD Library 18 alongside the ARCHICAD Library 19. If asked to 'Consolidate' choose 'Load Anyway'. There will be duplicates in the Library loading report but it will give you access to the objects in AC19 as well as the option to utilize the AC18 version of the object in cases like this where the UI is missing a control.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Our team is working hard to identify and correct these transition issues in the current library, where the endgoal is to have a more user-friendly UI.

Best regards,
