MSA INSULATION - HOW TO

Anonymous — Fri, 11 Jun 2004 21:37:09 GMT

After exploring the MSA LIBRARY on insulation- They appear to have preset lengths and R values.

I can't seem to adjust the length of the insulation. Help please

Use InsulFib part that resides in the ArchiCAD Library. Pretty sure it was there in AC7.

Cheers,

It's nice to have custom line types for varoius thicknesses of insulation.

You can explode the MSA symbol and use the resize tool to make it the correct thickness. Name it for it's Thickness and R value so you can quickly select the right one. I am always forgetting how thick R-38 is or what the R-value of 3.5" is. Now I don't need to look it up as often.
