FREE plug-in: Toggle lineweights and more with one key!

[Karl Ottenstein]

A number of people have asked for a way to quickly toggle line weights between true weight and hairline, to toggle roof pivot lines or section depths on or off, and more.

I'm releasing a FREE add-on for 9.0 that let's you assign a shortcut key to some of the most commonly adjusted display options. With the add-on loaded, for example, I map the "H" key (H=hairline) so that pressing it once switches to hairline display, and pressing again switches back to true weight. It seems trivial, but it really speeds work.

soooo much time

Thank you karl !!!!!!

You can download the Windows version of this QuickDisplay add-on for ArchiCAD 9.0 from:

A Mac version will hopefully be available by mid-December.

Enjoy.

PS I'm posting this to "Working in ArchiCAD" rather than "Ads" since this is a free thing to speed up working in ArchiCAD. Consider it more of a tip/trick. 😉

Hey, guess what!
The more I use the line toggle,the more I wonder how I could possibly manage without it!
Wow...

[Rick Thompson]

Karl... thanks for the Mac version, you're a man with a true world view. Can you add a toggle for "project finished"?
