Grouping Zones

How can I group some zones together so I can move them around.

What Djordje meant ,Djordje please correct me if I'm wrong,was that you can mark elements just as you have done, but under window-->Palette Display, you will find at the bottom of the menu, Show Selections.
Exactly that.

However, if you use the Find & Select feature (Edit/Find & Select...) you can save the Selection Set and it can be saved as a part of a Template as well. Funny, I would think that Selection Sets saved through the Find & Select... featured would show up in the Show Selections window? a wish?
Hmmm ... this is funny. Normally, not much of the building elements are saved in a template, BUT - ha! - now I see a reason: you should save section lines and details in the template, so therefore it is logical.

However, the other part has to be investigated yet!

Did you try to create an IfcZone using the IFC Manager, including the Zones (IfcSpace instances) you want to manage as a group? You could also do the same with IfcGroup, as a parent of IfcZone within the IFC Schema.

Just wanted to point out you have replied to a 17 year old post.

IFC wasn't even a thing then.

Hello, Barry

 

It was, not maybe within GS Archicad. 

IFC 1.5.1. was publicly shown in a Frankfurt conference in 1996.

 

However, it is always nice to reply a 17 y.o. message 🙂

Btw, do you have a clue which was the date GS implemented the IFC add-on? From what I know it was developed by a third party. Any information? 

 

Kind regards, 

 

David

Actually IFC may well have been in Archicad back then.

I just checked version 12 (that was about 13/14 years ago?) and that has IFC.

It is an add-on but I think not 3rd party, it is included with Archicad.

It would be nice to know a bit of transparent history about this essential and core functionality within Graphisoft Archicad. 

 

@Laszlo Nagy  Some additional information?

Sorry, no, I don't know which version of Archicad IFC was introduced. 

But I checked my materials, all the things I did for Graphisoft over the years, and I found an Interactive Training Guide I did for Graphisoft in 2007 for Archicad 11, and even then, there was a step of exporting IFC to be opened in Tekla Structures. I also found a PNG file with the name IFC_logo_AC10 from 2006. So, definitely, for at least 15 years, we had IFC in Archicad.

Hi, Laszlo

 

I knew that guide, indeed. 

Interesting *.png! 🙂

 

We'll keep exploring 

 

Thanks
