Column Core Line uneditable in AC12 -build 2523

If you decide to place a Column the setting for the Core Line Pen (color and line type) can not be edited until you select the Custom profile option and uncheck "Apply Structure Settings".

Is there a reason why the settings for Custom affect the Rectangular and Circular Options?

Selecting the Custom Profile Option, the only place to edit this option.

Now it is editable.

Eduardo:

I don't know how you got this behavior, I cannot reproduce it.

David,

I just tried to reproduce it and I can't. I originally saw this behavior in the computers of one of my students and then I was able to duplicate it on my machine. Curiouser…

Could have been a library issue?

ejrolon:

I don't see how the libraries would affect a tool that does not use library parts, I would be more suspicious of a Complex Profile. Or maybe the computer just hiccuped.

David,

I agree that the library should not be the culprit but the reason I listed it was that that is what changed after I took the screen shots. Before the update I was able to duplicate the problem.

The hiccup occurred in two different comps, one windows one mac, both using the same template file for the project. So your theory of a complex profile being the real culprit sounds more reasonable. I'll see if I can get the error again at the University Lab.

I encounter this every time I use the GRID SYSTEM TOOL.

Eduardo,

This was a bug in the US template, which was corrected in the build 2420 Hotfix#3. (The most recent Hotfix is #4, build 2523). Your student's ArchiCAD was probably not up-to-date.

Greg,

That makes more sense.

Thanks

We are on 2523 and still have the problem.

Is it dependent on when the columns were placed in the file?

If you change to custom and then back again it stays editable.

I get that problem in AC12 2523 USA FULL as well.

Eduardo, I noticed that you do not have 'Veneer' checked off on the Geometry and Positioning tab. Could this be the culprit?. I assumed that the core pens, without their being a veneer would not apply as the pens for the outermost lines are the same as for the core.

With custom profiles applied to a column, there is also no override for 'core' settings as the program would not know if this condition exists.

Eduardo Rolon — Fri, 01 May 2009 01:38:13 GMT

Opened the file today to check because of Erica's comment and the core line cannot be edited again. Even with Veneer checked.

There must be something else, since it fixed itself I have not done anything on this file though I did create a new project.

Checked my template file and it has the problem. The conclusion might be that if you open a file that has that problem (created prior the update that fixed the bug) then the next file that you open will inherit the setting.

Wrong assumption, tried it and it I could not duplicate the error.

I'm using Archicad 14. I have the same problem with the greyed out option.

How do i display the 'Apply structures settings' option?

Re: Column Core Line uneditable in AC12 -build 2523

Eduardo Rolon — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 01:17:16 GMT

You have to select the Custom Profile Option in The Geometry section first 'Apply structures settings' will be shown under the cut surface options
