Master Layout

Anonymous — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:54:15 GMT

Can someone please help me set up a layout? I have searched for help on inserting a company logo but can't find any helpful information. I have worked with Archicad 10 for several months but this is one thing that I haven't been able to figure out. Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated.

If you have the logo in a pdf file it is best.

Then just drag and drop into master file or do FILE>EXTERNAL CONTENT>PLACE EXTERNAL DRAWING. Resize if necessary.

If it is a very elaborate logo with a lot of linear or gradiant fills you may want to trace over it in ArchiCad to make it native just to minimize file size at output.

You could do this with jpg or tiffs but to get good quality it might be a large file which affects every sheet you plot or print.

On a Master Layout, paste your logo as linework, or as a figure - whatever it is.
