Creating a void in morph

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:27:15 GMT

Hi. It might be not a clever question to ask, but i'm new to Archicad and there are some issues, to which i can't find an answer.

I'm trying to create simple morph, which should look like attached image below. I need a cylinder void in a very center of a rectangular, but i can't figure out how to draw a circle in a square shape.

Another problem i came up with is that mesh i created is very dark in perspective and axonometric view. I wounder is there something i can to make it lighter or to illuminate it?

This does not need to be a Morph. It can be a slab with a hole in it.

Steps are:
1. Draw Slab
2. Draw Circle
3. Select Slab -> right click and choose "Select and Activate tool"
4. Press and Hold the Space Bar, the icon should turn to a Magic Wand.
5. Click inside the circle.

For the light on the 3D Window - Click on an empty space and select 3D "Projection Settings" and play with the "More Sun" Options

It can easily be done with the morph, also.

1. Select the morph to activate the morph editing cursor.
2. Click on the desired face and from the pet palette select Add polyline/Rectangle/Box/Revolved Moprh option
3. From the Info box select the Geometry method Curved (Centerpoint and Radius, Circumference)
4. Draw the circle
5. Select the circle face with Ctrl-Shift (PC)
6. From the pet palette select Push/Pull option and pull the face at the desired location.
7. Enjoy the awesome shape!
