Looking for 3rd party fills

Anonymous — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:28:18 GMT

Does anyone know where I might be able to find more fills for ArchiCAD? I have not been able to find any add on fills out there. I thought I would try before having to make my own.

The reason there are no add-on fills is that it is VERY easy to make your own. Look at "Create new symbol fill" page 375 of the AC 12 Reference Guide.

Also, I you have autocad and it has the patterns you are looking for, import an autocad file with the hatches placed and they will become ArchiCAD fills.

Yeah, I know how to make a fill. It's just that I have seen very elaborate third party fills in the past and I wondered where they have all gone. I don't want to waste the time if they are available somewhere already.

Oh well.

I know they have some fill libraries at Objects Onlines $$, and StoneCAD from Cultured Stone has fills for their projects.

Try this link. You'll have to register (free) and login to download the objects etc.
