soft fills in archi 13

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 17:34:25 GMT

Hi All,
I want to start using the intelligent insulation in 13 except that I cant get started. I have 2 basic question if anyone can help.

1, I cant seem to find the symbolic fill for the soft insulation fill. Is it hiding somewhere, do I need to load it into the library?

2 How do I get the cut 3d image showing the composition of the walls?
I want to prepare a cut image of a buildings structure. When I try and do a cut with the cut tool in 3d settings , I dont get the internal componants.

What am I dong wrong??

merci

Lisa

OK, ive managed to get the cut view using 3d document, thats ok

Still cant find the soft insulation fill though

Have I accidently written over it perhaps? is there a way to reset or reload default fills library??

Lisa, check to see you have selected it in the Fill Types.
And also be sure you set your composite correctly. HTH

Thank you Rod, I started up a new project using the default archi13 template and voila, I have a load of fills that are not present in the project template I created myself back in 12.

My bad, I forgot the rule about being careful in using project templates created in older versions opened in new versions of archicad,
I guess I need to recreate my project template, starting from the archicad 13 default setup to take advantage of the new content.

thank you for your input

Lisa, no need to begin from scratch.
Use the Attribute Manager to bring in the new fills to your working template.
This I do with each upgrade. Glad you got it sorted.
And you can do similar with your Work Environment to bring in new tools etc
that come with new upgrades.
