Hello, I wonder if it is possible to draw a shaft throug more floor plans in Archicad at once and if not how do you do it so it is not so time consuming?

 

Thank you for all answers.

If I understood correctly there are 2 quick options:

  • The faster is in the 3d Window select all slabs that will have the shaft and draw the "hole" which will be reflected on all.

  • The other option is to use the opening tool and link all the slabs

And another method.

Draw an element to represent the shaft (column is easy) and then convert it into a morph.

Then select it and right mouse click > Connect > Create Openings from Selection.

Choose the shape and offset if you want one and turn off 'Keep Original Elements', then create the opening.
