Same stories - Interactive changing model

Vojtech Slavik — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 12:56:23 GMT

Hi, I'm doing apartment house which have 8 stories and from 2-7 stories are same.

I'm looking how to do model with all plans with the same changes.

For example when I move bed I would like to this change in all other plans

How you usually dealing with this problem ?

Right now I know there is this alternatives. I would like to have something like interactive copy of plan.

1. Copy every change to another stories ?

2. Making modules ?

3. Hotlink ?

Some other ?

Is there some solution without saving and updating everytime ?
And what is better : modules or links ? Little bit confuse with differences between this .

Do you know Lee ?

Hi there!

I would use hotlinked modules, and in particular, the iceberg method. The iceberg method allows you to edit your hotlink within the same model file (makes it easier to reference all other floors) and makes the module hassle-free to reexport/update when editing is required.

Found this old doc from Graphisoft, you can read up more on the iceberg method here:

The "Hotlink Management - Workflow Guide" can be purchased on the Graphisoft Learn Portal.

Hope this helps!

I have removed the link because it points to a document that is a paid reference. The "Hotlink Management - Workflow Guide" can be purchased on the Graphisoft Learn Portal.

Yes it is hard to have compassion for their alleged complicated situation which seem to be a constant battle against technical, informational and temporal factors when they at the same time are charging users for information about workflows to get basic functionality from a paid for application.

But if you are an SSA client (i.e. you pay for support) it is free to download if you log in with your Graphisoft ID and use the code when downloading.

Great.

So if you log into the Learn portal with your Graphisoft ID that is linked to your company account, then you should be able to apply the discount code and download the e-book for free.
