Vectorial fill patterns

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Dec 2003 02:10:37 GMT

I have deleted most of the fills and composites in order to have just the ones I normally work with. Unfortunately I deleted some fills that I would like to have back plus possibly get some others. Is there a way to import vectorial fills?

You have to use the Attribute Manager (in the options menu), then open an Archicad file containing the fills you want and append them to your current project.

Another possibility is simply to paste an item containing the desired vectorial fill.

Both suggestions will do the job... Though, Attribute Manager allows you to better control the actual "insertion placement" (index order) of the Fill Types - Good for us "anal retentive" types.

Yes, but I would like that Attribute Manager allows me to change the index number of any attribute. Somebody knows how to do it?
I have used a workaround consisting in clearing some of the attributes and importing again from a template with correct (for me) indexes, but it is a hard method.

Speaking of vectorial fills, Is there any way to explode vectorial fills into lines? I havent found how.

I think this is only possible in PlotMaker. (Then copy/paste back to ArchiCAD.)
