Window - how to "clean" the glass + a story question

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 11:03:06 GMT

Hi, everybody!

This is just a minor problem. How do I remove the chinese-lookalike-letters on my window?

Cheers!

EDIT: By the way, can you copy a whole story? By that I mean if you can copy all rooms, windows, walls, -everything- to the next story? I want my Story 3 be exactly as Story 2. Is there an easy way?

question 1:
this will depend on you AC version. For AC15, you can use "model view options" or override these per window in its parameters. What you see as chinese letters, actually say "FIX" and is the "opening line" for fixed glass panes (it says fix outside and inside, so the funny look). This will also control every other opening line.

question 2:
Yes you can.
this will also depend on what you want and how you want to control it. Easy way? turn on and unlock all layers, then select all and copy/paste in the next floor.
But if you want to keep it the same, you should use a module file for both stories, so you only make changes once.
Best regards.

sinceV6, thanks for your fast respond.

I have AC 14 (educational version). I can't find this "model view options you're talking about, sadly.

Thanks, will try it!

I *think* AC14 is the same.

Remember to use the help file. It's quite thorough.

For model view options.
Menu Document->Set model view->Model view options

Or turn on the "On screen view options" toolbar, and look for the icon highlighted in the previous post.

Best regards.
