STRUCTURAL ENGINEER'S OBJECTS

[Takis]

Structural Engineers need special 2D & 3D library objects inside Archicad.

I tried to upload them but it was asking for an .lcf file and I didn't know how to proceed so I gave it up - could you guide me how to upload them somehow?

Single and Double Spring Isolator objects already uploaded to BIM Components.
Laszlo thanks for the help.

[Takis]

Unfortunately there is something wrong with the 3D script of the spring isolator objects and cannot be uploaded to BIM Components until the problem is fixed.
Both objects work fine, so you may download them from here.

Hey All, this is more about a wish but I am sending it here to continue discussion.
The subject is a 2D reinforcement palette tool the same they use Autocad Users. The 2D reinforcement tool palette is work effective and quick with structural details and calculations.

For a start, I would like to see a similar tool in Archicad 19.

Takis,
Have you see the Eptar reinforcement tool (http://www.eptar.hu/cadsupport.php?id=product_block&pID=9) it seems to do what you are asking but in 3d. At approx 400 euro seems to be priced similarly to Revit add ons.

Scott hi, yes I've tried that.
Well it is too difficult and time consuming to try to use 3D for 2D detailing purposes and furthermore it is almost impossible to show the exact detailing of the reinforcement.

Hi to everyone, I would like to share a 24m height communication Tower object for a project I completed about a month ago.
No special detailing in Archicad, you may use it for presentation purposes.
Makes quite good renderings in Artlantis.
Takis.
