Do a Google search for 'mannequin 3ds' (for example) to find models. For example:

http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm/FuseAction/ProcessSearch/istSearchKey/Mannequin

You will need to download the free 3Ds importer for ArchiCAD (via the Help > Goodies menu - which brings up a Graphisoft web page) to import 3DS files.

There are also free mannequin objects at Google Warehouse:

If you are using Windows, you can import these directly into ArchiCAD.

Mannequins also available free on www.archibase.net , probably converted from 3DS so watch out for lots of polygons and slow render times.

i dont know how to use these gsm objects - what do i have to do be able to open them in Archicad (even if you can recommend a site that explains it, would be great!) i've been looking at archibase for these objects. cheers

You would understand placing objects using the Object tool - the little chair symbol on the tool palette - explore the object library through this tool. There are already many objects in the Archicad Library supplied with the software. Study them first, especially the idea of "parametric."

Essentials:

As for using objects from other sites, you download them, put them in a folder and use Archicad's Library Manager to add them to the Library - a database management issue. Most really good objects are polygon-heavy and in 3Ds format. To import these, you'll need to download and install an Add-On, 3D Studio In, a "Goodie" from here:

Hi Dwight,

You have right.
The file is not complete

I can upload only 49,084 kbyte.

In the forum the limit is 256 Kb

Omuncolo is 572 kb (24 byte code plus 540 ca UI images )

I can't upload code without UI_images.

This is the link to my web site resource.
