InsulFib Object From ArchiCAD Library

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:32:15 GMT

The InsulFib 2D object works great for representing insulation when drawing details for construction.

However, this object cannot represent insulation that is wrapped around a curved or circular form, like a circular column, for example.

Is there a variation of this InsulFib object that can curve?
Anyone has this object? Please? Thank you!

This one ("Insulation - curved.gsm") is from Olivier Dentan´s page:

Draw insulation fill with lines and curves
copy
open line types and create a new symbol line type
paste in lines and curves

now you have a line type that can curve, straight etc!

Trick is to adjust dash length to scale 'thickness' of insulation to desired size.

Once set up for various thicknesses it is a real timesaver.
