Balcony door & window reveal settings

RobiLMan

Is there a way to edit the "reveal" of balcony door & window in archicad? The settings are different in this type of door.

 

I want my reveal to be the same as the window on the right

 

 Language is Czech

This is the reveal distance to the wall face.

Just be sure you are placing this door window on the same wall face (side) as the other window.

As you adjust this figure, you will be able to see what side of the wall it is measuring from.

If it is the wrong side, you will have to place the door again or you could rotate, mirror and flip it.

Oh, you want the edit the Reveal Type for the Terrace Doors, not the Reveal Depth.

 

Though limited, the setting is there at the bottom of the list in both AC22 and AC28 AUS. It only has the option to change the depths into the reveal on the interior...

I downloaded AC 28 and the settings is still not there 😅 isn't there a premade model that i can download that has what i want?

You seem to be using the CZE library?

It looks like that balcony door does not have the same reveal settings as your window.

Not all objects are set up the same.

 

This is what I see in the INT library, but then I do not have a balcony door object in this library.

So you will need to speak to someone that uses the same library or contact your local Archicad support to see if they can help you.

The door shown looks to be the default terrace door (window). It is classified as a Window Object...
