ArchiForma Object

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a project that I am currently working on that was created by another person that has left the company.
This project contains a baseboard that wraps the room, created in ARCHIFORMA.
I have changed the size of the room... now how do I change the location/size of the baseboard?

If you stil have ArchiForma installed, open it in ArchIForma and edit - if it si possible to edit it. If not, recreate it ... judging by the description, it should not be hard to do with Profiler.

Editing extrusions is actually one of the nicer features of Archiforma:
Select the object you want to edit
Click on the ArchiForma extrude tool
On the menu that comes up click on "explode" with "delete object" selected: Scary, I know, but remain calm...
With the cross-shaped cursor that you now have click on an empty part of your drawing.
Archiforma deletes the extruded object and gives you its original profile and path.
You can now edit both the path and the profile and use them to recreate the extrusion.
The only catch is you have to check the material, height and layer of the new object. ArchiForma doesn't remember them for you.

Its been a while since I've used the Profiler, but I don't think there's any way to edit a profiler object. You have to create it again from scratch. Another reason I stopped using the profiler is that Archiforma doesn't fill your library up with a separate objects for each extrusion.
