Corner Boards

Anonymous

Are there corner boards somewhere in the ArchiCad libraries? If so, where and how do I add them. Frieze boards too?

Sigh. I was thinking I was both smart and brilliant. Now I'll have to choose!

After reading y'all's suggestions, I played around with the profile manager all night. That is a very cool tool! The more I learn about ArchiCAD the more I'm liking it.

Profiles can be really good for residential work trying to do historical details. I still much prefer the designated composite for corner boards, much easier to deal with. You can use "symbolic cut" for the floor plan display, which is far easier for me. You can't go that way with profiles, so it can be tricker to place some things, like the wall and gutter on the attached screen shot.

Thanks for the clean, humble, no-silly stuff and very useful, application applied insight .
I truly appreciate your helpful posts.
And for those less AC endowed complex profile folks, (like myself), would you be so kind
as to post what the CP>Profile Manager editing view to the corner
board looks like?
Thanks

Bier:

This is a simple one. Note that you can place hotspots that will become selection points for the corner board, which can simplify selection and placement. Profiles can be copied between projects using the Attribute Manager.
