Hello all.. I am new to archicad and wanted to know if there is an easy was to connect floor molds and crown molds to walls.Right now i add the floor mold and but it usually is below my slab so i manually move it up until it looks like it is connected to the floor and wall.
presumably you know at what height you want to se the skirting, chair and/or crown moldings up and down your wall? simply set the values you need in the moldings and panels dialogue . . . archicad doesn't design it for you!
i presume that you're using the 'moldings and panels' object as an 'accessory' not just a dumb object? that way it will always be associated to your wall's attributes.
Also, is there an easy way to add objects on top of another object. Say a lamp on a table? Right now i sort of "eyeball" it until it looks like it sits on it.
as john said: never ever eyeball! use the height values of selected elements from your info box to determine the heights of new elements.
that being said - there is a limited gravity function for meshes, slabs and roofs. with gravity turned on and set to whichever type you require, the bottom height value of new elements will read the top of the mesh/slab/roof at the point the mouse is clicked. have a read of the manual.
