Hi Sergej
I've downloaded the onetool-15 and extracted the folder.
Where do you suggest I put the .apx files?
Thanks

Hello lec,

you can simply copy the apx-file to the ARCHICAD's AddOn directory (<ARCHICAD_DIR>\Add-Ons) or use the AddOn Manager and attach the addon manually from any custom location.

Best regards,

Is it possible to use other objects for multiplying along the spline?
For example an AC15 cylinder. I tried it but failed.

Hi Kliment,

in general, yes.

Would you like to "fill" the spline with objects content or distribute the object along the spline?

You can use "Special Distribute" function for distribute: DistributeElementsAlongPath

MagicObjects divides the spline in segments (arcs), creates for each segment a new copy of the master-object and fills parameters (middle point, angle and radius) with calculated values.

Best regards,

Sergej
