Floor Metal Deck?

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I am looking for object or add-on that provides me with Floor Metal Deck capabilities. Can not find it in AC9 library or ObjectsOnlie, any hints?
Thanks,

doesn't work with slabs automatically 

Obviously, it's a roof's accessory but the shape can be the same.

anybody care to make a slab accessory?

I've made some accessories, isn't difficult but now I've not time (perhaps next week).

fantastic! we'll look forward to it . . .

any chance you could put the deck under the slab and 'subtract with downward extrusion' at the same time?

cheers!

Hi Ben,

the ArchiCAD accessory technology can be used with slabs, roofs, walls and zones as well as drawing 'on the fly' the polygon shape (or using the Magic Wand).

Of course the host element (slab. roof, wall, zone) can be hide (layer settings) and the position of the 'child' element (I mean the accessory element, in this case the deck) can be freely defined by the user using the host element shape as reference.

ArchiCAD accessory technology is a very good way to collect data info from your project and use them as base for your parametric objects.

cheers

Since Fabrizio brought it up, I would like to take this opportunity to ask GS to provide us a general ADD-ONS to allow user to collect data info from the project and use them as base for creating parametric objects.

Also, GS please publish document to explain the Parameters used in the Accessories Objects so that we don't have to dig deep into the scripts to find out ourselves. It's kind of time consuming.

I've done some objects that make use of the Slab Accessories' functionalities.

I second you on this point.

More than two years after, these ac_params for subtypes are still not documented!
Why?

Ranting again, is AC competency challenge such a higher priority?
No more bugs to fix?

YOU BLOKES HAVE GIVEN ME AN IDEA RE TIMBER DECK WITH SPACES BETWEEN DECKING - BUT PARTICULARLY WHEN THE DECK IS AN AWKWARD SHAPE BUT WITH THE DECKING RUNNING AT THE SAME DIRECTION.
Form the shape with a slab/roof/mesh as you prefer, then use the 3d Roof Battens library part to SEO subtract the 'spaces out between the decking boards'. I tried it and it works an absolute treat! Beats trying to use the 3d Roof Battens by themselves.
