Hedges - Best practice?

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 17:45:14 GMT

What's the best way to indicate a hedge in archicad please?

I only really need it for 2D purposes and the 3D hedges look like they could be a bit too heavy.

if you manage to find a vector fill for hedge, could you share it? I've got a similar issue and the hedge doesn't section well.

There are 'hedge' line types which can be used with lines & polylines for 2D hedges depending on your desired output

Hi, Thanks. They aren't available here in North America.

How frustrating!

In that case maybe create your own hedge symbol line?

Could you share an empty file with those in please? Tried opening the Shoegnome template too but that didn't have the hedge linetype that you've indicated either.

Failing that I'll create something and post it.

With your key you can run any version of AC up to the version level of your key including the international version where you get access to the international library. And you can download the international version off of the Graphisoft website.

What an overkill!
Downloading and installing an entire program just for some lines? You have to be kidding me.

Maybe someone has mercy on us and might share!

You can't have the international library on, say a UK installation?

I've moved from Revit and you could use other content/libraries on the UK installation

Yes, you can. I wouldn't do it in a production file, tho.

But the libraries alone aren't meant for download (at least I don't know an easy way to get other localised libs. Many of them are also customized by resellers, e.g. in Switzerland).

Thanks for the information and advice, I didn't realise that some resellers customised the libraries.

Hey Randy, Thanks. Any chance of having that in V18? Sorry. We're still migrating files and I don't have a copy of 19.

Re: Hedges - Best practice?

RandyC — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 02:33:47 GMT

version 19 is as far as I can go back from home
-- you might be able to save a file as the previous version from 19 --
