Archicad Start 2020 - Graphic Overrides

[Planit]

Does anyone know how to create new Graphic Override Rules in AC Start 2020?
The location for this in other versions is Document - Graphic Overrides - Graphic Override Rules but AC SE 2020 doesn't appear to have this last command.

It is probably just that command has not been added to your Work Environment menu structure.
If you are using a custom WE then you will have to add that command to the menu.
Otherwise switch to a standard WE and it should be there.

According to this:
https://simbim.es/en/graphisoft/44-archicad-se.html

under the Specifications tab, Graphics overrides are not part of START Edition.

The SOLO edition has graphics overrides, what is the difference between Start and Solo? Why so many 'lite' versions?

Thanks for your help guys.
AC SE 2020 does have preset Graphic Override Combinations but appears not have a command to be able to edit the rules of these or create new ones. I have contacted the software supplier and they confirmed that this is a limitation of AC SE 2020 but have indicated that there would be some sort of work around to do this.

So have you looked in the Work Environment settings to see if that command is there?
It may just be missing from the profile.

I have had a look but couldn't see any commands for editing Graphic Override rules

[Barry Kelly]

To add it to a menu in the Work Environment do this ...


Otherwise to just create a rule, open the GO Combinations dialogue and press 'Edit Rules'.


Of course this is all in the FULL commercial version.
Seems odd that you have GOs but no means to edit them.

I think that is all part of why START is half the price of the full/pro version...

It is frustrating that most of us know nothing about START or Solo and so cannot provide very specific help when these questions come up. It would be nice if we could switch our Pro versions into START or Solo "mode", (and EDU for that matter), similar to running in Demo mode, so that we could better help people with different editions.

(An example of this is QuickBooks Accountant...which is the most full featured version of Intuit's small business desktop accounting program. It can be switched to restart in a mode that matches any one of the many lower level versions of the product.)

Thanks Barry & Karl
I can only get to this point when adding menu to the work environment and the GO commands are greyed out.
