Output colour

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 13:34:18 GMT

hi,
I am very new to ArchiCAD.
Can anyone kind enough to advise how to set output colour for printing.
In other CAD you can set the pen setting to appear colour or black.
E.g:
If pen used in the drawing is RED, but i want it to appear as BLACK, at the same time there is YELLOW pen on the same drawing but I want it to be appear as YELLOW as well. How do you set the output colour to have both Black & White and Colour in the same drawing.
Thank you.

You will want to look into pen sets.
You can have separate pen sets for the drawings that you place on the layouts.
You can then set the individual pens in these sets to be what ever colour and thickness you want.
So you can have one pen set for modelling on screen and another for your drawings on the layouts.
In fact you can have as many pen set as you want for different circumstances - but I would keep it simple with just a couple.

Barry.
