I am having this same problem in AC 24. I cannot use the "rotated geometry" method to insert any object that has to do with plumbing like a sink base or toilet / water closet. It works on all other objects, just not plumbing objects. Is there a fix for this?
Hi Andy,
Thank you very much for your question!
In Archicad 24, there is an option to convert newly placed objects to Equipment (MEP parts). If this function is turned on, even if you place a plumbing object with Object tool, it will be converted to MEP object after placing.
I asked the developer about what could cause the case, and here is the explanation:
- In Archicad 24 Update 2, there is a bug that turns on the above function automatically. It will be fixed in Update 3. Until then, you can turn if off manually by going to
Options > Project Preferences > MEP Preferences
, and turn off this function in the open dialog.
- MEP objects cannot be placed with "Geometry method: Rotated". We will try to improve this behavior in the future.
I hope this explains the situation. Thank you very much for your understanding, and I am very sorry for the inconvenience! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me again!
Best regards,
Minh
