ARCHICAD 21 INT Library Update

[Laszlo Nagy]

The most important thing in it is many Stair/Railing-related bug fixes, plus extended content for Stairs/Railings.

Let's hope the other national flavours follow soon.

I really think something like these stairs should have their own separate library, so they can be updated separately to the main library - especially as they are new and should be updated often.
Plus the fact there may be others like me that don't actually use the default GS library - and therefore the stairs (and stair MVO options) don't work as they should.

I have to extract the LCF file, find all the relevant bits and pull them out into a separate library myself.
Yes, I can just load the GS library as well but then I have duplicates with my library which was an old GS library that was customised especially for us many years ago - and I really don't want our users using the default GS objects as I can't alter them as easily as I can our objects.

I had the same issue, somewhat, we used to have a special Dutch door + window library, but around ArchiCAD18 the reseller switched over to translating the Graphisoft library. This broke all my custom windows based on the old macros. Reluctantly we let go of our old library, but this has made updates easier. I try to get as close as I can with the library parts as is and have to make some more custom (dumb) parts now, but I think in the end we are better off by having the benefits of up to date libraries.

You guys should make a wish about this, lets see how much support it gets, then I will forward it to GRAPHISOFT.

[Barry Kelly]

OK, wish is in place.

Do you have any plans to implement the properties scripts in stairs and rails in the same way the rest of elements do?

In the actual situation it seems imposible for me to obtain a decent list of materials of none of them

I don't know anything officially but the properties script is part of the old listing scheme which I believe is no longer being supported.
It certainly isn't being updated for new objects like the stairs and railings.
So all we are left with is the Interactive Schedules.
