BASIC STORY MARKER

[Frank Beister]

Can anyone tell me, where I can find the BASIC STORY MARKER-object? After a "longer" search for the new place of the common markers I can find there only the ones for details and the FT splittet in two: F and T-markers.

I tried to open the marker in both (GER and INT). In both menus I don't get an "open by subtype". Maybe I am missing a switch in the preferences as the expanded calculation menu switch in AC9.
But anyway. The GSM should be in the support/resources folder. And I can't see it there. As the object works in the sections it has to be there. Maybe my MacOS X settings are "wrong" and don't show hidden files.

F. Beister:

I believe you will need to do two things to be able to open this object.

First: Go to Work Environment>Command Layout Schemes>Menus and change the left pop up menu to "All commands in alphabetical order", then scroll down to "Open Object by Subtype...". This should allow you to add this command to your current menu scheme. I don't know why it is excluded from your Work Environment, as it has been around as long as subtypes have been around.

Second: Use this new command to find and open the "Basic Story Marker" as Tom spelled out above (I was able to open the part this way). This is one of the parts built into the application (like some of the basic section markers) so it does not reside in a standard library folder structure. There may be some way to find it via the OS, but it would not be a typical procedure.

If you need more information, please let us know.

Thanks David. This was the solution. I don't know how this could happen. I am very shure that I haven't deactivated this command. It's about GDL. I wouldn't do this. 😉

Does this realy exists since AC8? Haven't seen this anytime. Maybe it was deactivated per default in AC8 and I haven't omitted to do any installtion with "import Profile".

As I saw in the library manager, that there are some built in libraries I suggested to find it there. I thought that they are maybe hidden or encapsulated in lcf. I was confused, because Tom posted the file name, That he found it by a file manager. Now I see he had it from the dialog window. The object seem to be zipped in a proprietary format.

Thanks again.

P.S. I hope there are not more menu item slumbering in my work environment. BTW is there a menu command for mirroring elements in the floor plan?

Depending on your localization it is under Snow White > Fairest > Mirror or Queen > Jealous > Mirror

Just don't eat the apple or your Mac will go to sleep for a thousand years.

And for those of us crippled by not using Macs,

I dug around and found it here:

C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD 10\ArchiCAD.DLL\rfs\Basic Story Marker.gsm

Not exactly readily accessed.
