Custom Window markers in ArchiCAD

Hi there, 

 

I am struggling to make a custom window marker I can use across multiple projects. I am sick of editing each window marker individually. 

 

What is the best way to do this?

 

Thanks, 

Claudia

Set your default marker settings in the window settings before you place the windows.

Then every window you place will have those marker settings until you change them again.

 

You can also create a favourite that stores those marker settings, and then just change the window type and size to what you want when you use that favourite.

 

You can also select multiple windows and edit the marker settings.

No need to do it individually.

 

Otherwise you will need to script a new marker object that does what you want.

 

Or you can create lines and autotext to show what you want and save it as a label - no scripting needed.

You then have to label the windows instead of using the markers.

You are talking about customising the OTB window marker not creating a new Marker Object right?

 

Editting all of the settings before you place a window should make those changes the default. Unsure if this is saved within favourites. Unless your makers are different between windows, you should also be able to select them all then edit the marker for all of them at once.
