2d furniture in 3d document

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:21:05 GMT

Hi all! I have a two part question.I am currently trying to have 2d only furniture and objects in a 3d document. Since the native archicad object 2d only option does not show in a 3d document, I have turned to importing cad blocks which means having to redo the plans with 2d elements, and that is a hassle. Any way around this? Secondly, every time I import said blocks, the entire MVO of the model changes. Every time. Is there a way to disassociate MVO options from blocks?

Set up two views - a 3d document with the furniture turned off, and a 2d plan view with only the furniture showing. Place the two views on a layout on top of each other creating a 3d plan with 2d furniture.

Two ideas:

Convert the 2d object to complex profile collumn.

Convert the 2d object to morph.

Both will show up in 3d. I'd probably go for the collumns, as it is easy to manipulate the profile and if it repeats, you only make the change once. Morphs would require use of modules and I think morphs are not that easily or quickly manipulated.
