Cabinet objects in 3D

Anonymous

I just updated to ArchiCAD 9 from 8.1 and some of the cabinet objects have stray hinge lines that show up in 3D, also the knob is not showing up in the right place.

How do I fix this?

are you using ArchiCAD 9 objects?

The D3 SmartPart cabinet objects had this problem, which has been fixed now, I believe. (At least for the V9 version.) You'll need to get these updated library parts.

There you go.

As GDL evolves, older elements will not work appropriately, especially as the developers bring higher functions to their objects.

If these are ArchiCAD -sourced, go in the library and find the new cabinet objects. Go into your project file, select each old cabinet type in turn and then, while it remains selected, open the dialog window and transfer its values to the ArchiCAD 9 element equivalent by changing the element to the new one.

Does anyone know if ArchiCAD has the capability to produce a Printable Inventory of our Libraries, i.e. a catalogue of sorts...?
