How to save edited walls doors windows etc

Hello!

 

I am new to Archicad so this may be a stupid question. When I edit an element (for example changing the width of door), how do I save the element so that I can reuse it elsewhere on the model? In Revit I would duplicate a premade object, edit and rename, is there a similar method?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Dan

Archicad has a thing called favourites.

On the option page of your element ( door windows etc) click on the star on the top left.

then on the star with a + that appeared at the bottom left of the dialog.

 

There is also a dedicated palette to navigate your favorites and find themeasily when you have many of them.

Check out the Eyedropper & Inject Commands; Option+click & Command+click on a MAC.

Also, investigate Favorites for creating and implementing standards...

ArchiCAD since 8.0, currently on 22, waiting on 26, maybe...

Types as a concept does not exist in Archicad.

Favorites is the closest thing to it.
