where is the detail library

[Anonymous]

in the tutoral to archicad, when talking about sections, it says that you can merge an existing dwg. file into your model.
it takes it from a detail libray that should be in the library folder, but i do not have this.

if it does not come with one where can i download existing librarys from, because i am not familiar with section building and would like to make it easier for myself.

We still don't know which tutorial you are referring to (there are several available from the GS website). I would suggest you contact your reseller.

Hi Kray,

I presume it is the 'BIM experience kit' you are refering to - the one where you build the Massaro House by FLW.

Generally the files for any of the training modules are installed by default under - C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\

The BIM experience kit is found under -

C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD BIM Experience\Chapter 01

Hope that helps!

A little attitude adjustment is needed on your part here. People need to know your location (not 'computer') as the regional versions of ArchiCAD differ in library content, and they need the info that everyone has politely asked for to provide an answer.

Shouting is not necessary - you are the one who is not being clear about what you are asking about.

What detail library are you talking about? One that is referenced in the downloaded guide, or one that you wish existed? Get specific. There are detail-oriented parts in certain libraries.

ok my question to everyone out there is - is there a detail libray you can download that already has detailed, labeled sections of say the connection between the roof and wall or foundations etc.

i have been very patient and responded to all your questions - forums are supposed to be user friendly and be able to help those who are just getting to know the programme

any help would be apreciated

Kray whatever, as Karl says, maybe an attitude change would be appropriate. This forum is full of experienced people who voluntarily offer professional-level help and support for free - or more adequately, on their own expense. If you browse around for a while, you'll find abundant examples. But you will also find that demanding gets you nowhere.

As for your question, the fact is that Archicad offers tools to let you design, realistically model, or draw, any building detail you want. If you have done a standard installation, you've got the libraries that are included. You may find various additional info on the 'net, by google, or by the links offered here (do a search). But to learn how to build, you have to turn elsewhere.

You can find details about things like this over the internet but things like this isn't free of charge. This is timeconsuming objects to build. I don't think there is anyone outthere who draw details and then give it too others without any payment. And companies have often their own standard how to draw and build things so this is not a software problem, it's a company problem.
With ArchiCad there comes a detail library over basic objects, with these you could build you own standard details.
