Where's curtain wall in menu?

Geof Gainer — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 05:30:06 GMT

I've got a curtain wall selected in section, and try to go to Design>Curtain Wall>Boundary Editing in Section, but have no such menu items.

How do I get there?

Click on the EDIT IN 3D in the lower right hand corner. That kind of edit is done in that window.

You will need to add it to your Work Environment in the Menus section.
Or use one of the default Archicad Work Environments.

Yes; I found this seems to work only if the curtain wall was created using the Boundary geometry method though. No biggie to re-do.

Tried that, but couldn't find anything more than the Curtain Wall tool itself, plus rotate and label commands.

Try listing "All Commands By Theme".
You want number "19 Curtain Wall".

Thanks, Barry. It wouldn't let me move the whole folder, but I just applied the Standard Commands scheme and it shows up fine.

Create a "Curtain Wall" group on the right and then you can select all Curtain Wall commands on the left and move them into that folder (Add selected button) in one step.
