Hi,
I'm a Architectural Technologist student and am learning ArchiCAD after many years as a draughtsman using AutoCAD. I'm working on a project to block model the city centre of Liverpool. I'm trying to model the Radio City Tower. However spanning across the blue should be "Radio City 96.7" I have tried creating a custom material using a tif with the text on a blue background, however I cannot get the text to show as a single line. You can just make out the yellow dashes on the blue which in fact are tiny yellow writing, not matter what I do to scale in material editor I can not enlarge the text. Does anyone know what to do?
Thank you for your time,
Rich
Thank you s2art, that helped! I love easy fixes! Tomorrow when i'm walking around liverpool taking measurements of more buildings I'll pass the thought to her family
Just an update really, I was struggling to get the slopes top and bottom on the tower, I tried all sorts, sloped walls, complex profiles the list goes on. IIt turned out it was as easy as instering a cone object, duh! Included a picture on Liverpool so far.
Thanks Erika,
The curtain tool seems to be teasing me, it's perfect for what I want, I created my cylindrical glass wall, great I thought until I noticed the slant tool was greyed out. It seems that you can only slant straight curtain walls, is this right or (hopefully) am I mistaken? I looked at ArchiGlazing but there is no ver 12 compatable addon yet
