Hide Openings with Renovation Tool

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:48:46 GMT

Hello to everyone,

This is 'kind of' a follow up from the previous topic
http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=42105

I'm trying now to hide the doors and windows from the openings since, the structural eng. doesn't really care what type of frame we insert in it.

As explained in the previous topic I have a renovation filter that shows me demolished and new parts of the building as well as the existing. To avoid confusion in floor plan with overlapped walls, the demolished are overridden and shown in yellow, the new in red and the existing in black.

I tried in two ways:
-Model view options
-Renovation Tool

In both cases, instead of having an empty opening, the opening was filled looking like a full wall (see attachment)

Also, note that, using the 'Renovation Tool Filter', only the 'to be demolished' elements can have doors/windows/skylight hidden

I then tried to play with the 2D representation of the door and windows library parts, changing the type of fill to Empty, Full, Air Space, etc. as well as changing the colour of the background with pen 91, 0 and -1. No difference.

Any idea anyone?

Cheers.

Claudio

Check MVO > Options for Construction Elements > Door Options > Show Openings Only.

Hi David,

thank you for your reply.
I did try that but initially wasn't working. Now, using the RCP settings seems to work (don't ask me why cos it had the same opening settings of my custom settings).
However Graphisoft has my file now because apparently there is another issue (somewhere) which relates to the renovation tool. The foreground fill of the 'renovation override styles' won't disappear where the opening of the 'Roller Door' from the 'Australian Essential Library R2' is.
