Disabled People Models?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Does anyone know where I can get disabled people objects? More specifically I am doing an ADA residential addition and remodel and need a person in a wheelchair. The standard ArchiCAD library doesn't appear to contain any (I am using SE9). I may have missed something somewhere but I think these should be standard issue.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I know I've used one in the past but I couldn't fine it in the SE library either. Perhaps it's in one of the older libraries...

I just searched my libraries and found "Man in Wheelchair 70.gsm". So if you have the ArchiCAD 7 library that will probably work. I believe there are also some in other libraries. Digital Architecture (AKA David Maudlin) also has one in the "People Library" and there is one (at least) in Objects Online.

Thank you both very much. Problem solved. It seems that GS should be including these people in the standard library. Designing for accessibility should be a common practice as I hope sustainability soon will be.

It was originally called "andrew_in_Wheelchair" and was part of the old "People and More" Library from around 1996

AFAIR it used to be on GDL Central, that is AFAIK now moved to Depository? Did not check, I admit.

I've got the People and More CD somewhere. If the pdf that Stress Co. uploaded is correct, it seems it was produced by the Swedish company Maccaddy which went bankrupt later, as did the LaserCad that bought it. Today's LaserCad (the Swedish Archicad distributor) is a reconstructed firm, and I don't know if they have the rights to this library now. Maybe Ben O'donnel knows? And perhaps they have some to sell, or are willing to upload it to the repository?

I tried downloading from here:

Online Shop> ArchiCAD Bibliotheken> People and More

I think it's free.... but not knowing German... I couldn't complete the check out process.

There's no problem with your german

The Link is simply not working.

it is: file://///Serveridc/Abteilungen/Internet/www.archihelp.ch/public_html/download/bibliothekselemente.asp

if you shorten the link to www.archihelp.ch/public_html/download/bibliothekselemente.asp witch lead you to a "The page cannot be found"-Page...
