Archicad 17: Morph as Massing Model

David Collins — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 12:18:14 GMT

I've been trying to use the new massing model features of the morph tool in ArchiCAD 17, as shown in the "BIM lives in the Details" webinar.

My problem is that there doesn't seem to be a pre-configured "Mass schedule" in the list of interactive schedules provided and (blush) I have no idea how to go about creating one. Can someone give me a few hints ?

Oh, And GS, are you guys sure about that Mies quote...?

Set the Fields to something like that in the attached image.
Also, when the schedule is generated, check the "Show Headline" checkbox in the Options panel to the left side of the schedule. Then the Home Story column will act as a Headline.

Thanks Lazlo. That'll get me started. Also, thanks for moving this into "Schedules" section which I never noticed before. Lists, Schedules and Calculation in general traumatized me so badly back in ArchiCAD 8.0 I seem to have blocked them out altogether....

Hopefully some successes will get them "unblocked" for you.

I just found the tutorial on this, hiding waaay down at the bottom of the ArchiCAD 17 "3D workflow improvements" webpage. "Conceptual Design Related Improvements"
