AC10 3D Explore Model Problem

Anonymous — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 19:13:41 GMT

I am really enjoying using the new 3D explore model tool. The 3D gaming type interface is very intuitive for me and has made it much easier to do walk throughs.

However, I have tried and failed to located a keyboard shortcut that enables me to switch from my assault rifle to either my grenade launcher or my shotgun in 3D explore mode. This is obviously most frustrating, and of course I am working on a deadline at the moment. Working with with my clients has been a bit embarrassing to say the least.

Is anyone else afflicted with this issue or is it just me? Am I missing something? I have looked through all of ArchiCAD 10's new settings and have found nothing...

Please see my attached image.

Your input would be most helpful.
Thanks.

Leave it to Graphisoft to omit something so important!

That is not as simple as assigning a keyboard shortcut.

ArchiCAD, being a BIM- [Battleground Information Modeler] can receive data from model conditions to parametrically adjust the user to model conditions.

You'll need to create a parameteric GDL object to do that.
There isn't one in the International Library altho the USA version will soon have it.

In your script:

Use the variable GLOB_THREAT_ASSESS to have ArchiCAD automatically select the most approriate weapon for the situation.

The variable GLOB_AMMO_COUNT enables the discarding of an empty weapon and autoselection of the next best choice.

Also insert GLOB_ENEMY_DISTANCE to evaluate the model for a possible RETREAT command.

When will the WMD option be available, or doesn't it actually exist???

Re: AC10 3D Explore Model Problem

WMD certainly was on the wish list.

No, I am pretty sure Graphisoft said something about WMD's in their advertising for 10...

Where's Scott??
I was hoping he will show up telling us that revit offers better shotting since version 5, plus some really interactive grenades that can blow up your entire office...

So, if you sign up as a team member in AC10 you 'll be part of a millitary squad?

Will there be a a Tora Bora mesh add-on so that the hunt for O.B. can be resumed?

C'mon guys this is serious. It is very important in these dangerous times to test how our buildings work in combat situations. I can't believe you are making fun of such a grave matter of national security. This feature was specifically requested by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld (they can use teamwork even from an undisclosed location). The question is, how did you all find out about it? Do you really have the security clearances or do I need to notify the NSA about the breach?

PS. I didn't know our esteemed vice president's first name was considered too sensitive for publication.

No Tora Bora: ArchiKILL is more suited to urban warfare than jungle fighting because it cannot handle the polygon count.

Think, rather, of Archimovies like Black Pen Down where they fight (and perform urban character sketches under fire) in Mogadishu.

Yeah, but...

By the time I get done with work and the kids and this place all I can do is stumble in, have a beer, and fall asleep while I listen in on the conversations.

Yeah, and very typical Swedish too. Is there an export module for AC to this game?

Well, 3DS if you can consider that a module... Textures are better made with 3DS for this purpose. I will see to it that the guilty person writes an article about this rather funny use of AC to publish in Archimag in the near future.
