Furniture MAPS

[Anonymous]

I'm working on fixed furniture maps (kitchens) and recorded every kitchen as a single object.

When I map it, the kitchen appears represented in axonometry, with the orientation i gave on the plant, which is, in most of the cases, the back view.

How can I change the orientation of the object, just on the map view?

Please help!

Here´s the example

I think you will find that the 3D view in schedules is always generated from the bottom right hand corner of the plan view.

So you would have to rotate your model before you save it as an object.

Or if you want to do a bit of GDL scripting you could create an angle parameter (say "rot_ang" for rotation angle) in your object.
Then at the beginning of the 3D script add ...

if GLOB_CONTEXT = 6 then
ROTz rot_ang
endif

Then you should be able to select the object and set that parameter to adjust the 3D view in the schedule without it actually affecting the real 3D model of the object.

You could even add that parameter into your schedule so you could adjust it directly in the schedule without having to select the object and adjusting the parameter.


This was all from the top of my head - haven't actually tested this in Archicad.
But it should work - I have done something similar myself before.
