Break command ?

[Anonymous]

Ok, I give up, again.
Tried the search function here.
Tried the guid site:archicad-talk.graphisoft.com break and then break command
Tried the manual.
Tried the wiki.
Tried the ac help.
Guess what?
No mention of break command or break.
Did I forget the secrete code, again?
Ok, hit me, what the hell did I miss?
Thanks

Bier,

What exactly are you looking for?
I don't have a break command, if I want my coffee at 10 a.m. then I simply leave my office

There is a "breakpoint" command that controls
the GDL debugger. Is this what you are looking for?

Joeri, great comment, that cracked me up.

Peter, thanks for reply, not ready of gdl yet, just downloaded basic tutorials,
I'll get back to ya in a few yrs:-)

I guess it was Karl who used the term regarding cutting fills to save polygons
when creating fills to look like 2x plates in CP walls.
I guess he's on a break right now. Gosh only knows he deserves it.

Bier Designs,
I think what you are looking for is the
"split" command, Edit->reshape->split.
This is what Karl used to cut a rectangular
fill into four triangular pieces.

No, I think he is referring to cmd/ctrl+period(.).

Not sure if it's documented, and it doesn't seem to appear in the WE, but it is used to break a command or a process, such as rendering.

Cheers,
Link.

In case this is a continuation of the discussion of representing wall plates in a CP, Bier... the original post ('split' command) was here:

http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=128332#128332

Since it is buried in a thread with a totally different subject, I suppose I should copy it somewhere else...

Cheers,
Karl

If Bier is indeed referring to this, it wouldn't be in the Archicad manuals. This is a system function on the Mac side.

Which also works for ArchiCAD in Windows. It is part of the Mac UI standards but it is implemented in the application code, so becomes a hidden feature for Windows users. It is not always reliable though since user interrupts are notoriously hard to trap.

But, it should be in the manuals, because ctrl-. is NOT a system command for Windows, yet causes a break in AC on Windows. 😉
