It's commonly assumed the cables will run in the pipes/ Cable trays or ladders. CADimage's add-on is more documentation oriented.- (2D)<BR /> <BR /> check the ArchiCAD Youtube channel, there are great tutorials there. And the online help.<BR /> <BR /> Regards Thu, 06 Feb 2014 17:44:13 GMT Nando Mogollon 2014-02-06T17:44:13Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Just-to-get-organized/m-p/132525#M70696 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>So you see I'm new to ArchiCAD, and for the past month I downloaded several addons for ArchiCAD, including Archi-Suite, CAD Image, MEP, ArchiCAD Accessories... now I'm getting a little overwhelmed by all this, and it would help if you guys can tell me just how you're supposed to make use of them.<BR /> <BR /> For now, I used the Archi-Suite to make staircases, but I just found out that CAD Image has that feature as well; MEP for modeling duct and pipe ( electrical is not possible, it doesn't even have cables, just cable ladders ), CAD Image for electrical plans. Is this the "pro" way to do it?</T></DIV> Tue, 30 May 2023 12:13:47 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Just-to-get-organized/m-p/132525#M70696 Anonymous 2023-05-30T12:13:47Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Just-to-get-organized/m-p/132526#M70697 Alex,<BR /> <BR /> Being new to ArchiCAD it would be a good idea to get to know the basic tools before you get to the Add-Ons.<BR /> Yes there are some great add-ons there, but by default I don't use them if I can get the job done with the basic -out of the box- ArchiCAD.<BR /> <BR /> As for the specific questions: GS MEP Add-on doesn't have cables, I don't know of any other software that does.
