I'm an archicad software user, i have a question for you regarding the Slab Accessory - Under Footing Settings..
I want to find the way to stretch the footing size, i did explode it, but it didn't work please tell me if there is another way to resize the footing...i was ungrouping the Object to stretch out the Object, but i couldnt do it...Please let me know how to re-adjust it.
Rick,
The slab accessories, like all accessories, are applied by selecting the element first (the slab), then the accessory. The accessory will then morph itself to match the slab (or wall, for wall acc'y, etc.).
The Footing object is not hot stretchable. All parameters are set within the object settings dialog (see screenshot). You can adjust stem wall thickness and height, footing thickness and height, plate dimensions, etc.
The names of the parameters are a unfortunate. The screenshot shows the SE library version. What they call 'footing height' is what we call 'footing depth'. What they call 'thickness' is what we call 'footing width'. (Ditto stem wall dimensions.) Slowly, GS is customizing the US library to better user US terminology ... but looks like none of us reported this one.
If you explode any AC element - object or otherwise - it turns into 2D lines and fills. It will no longer be 3D. This has uses at times, but is not what you want here.
You cannot ungroup an AC object into subcomponents either. An object is an element. You can only alter its appearance via parameters (or solid element operations when necessity calls).
Hope that helps ... post any more questions to this thread.
Regards,
Karl

Karl,
you are even catching up with Matthew & Dwight on number of posts!
[Gratuitous extra post!]
Now that I know that Rick contacted all of you guys, I don't feel 'special' anymore.
(But, to Rick: I did not use your user-id, so if you post more questions in the future, nobody will know who you are. You'll find that if you post to a forum, that SOMEBODY will answer almost as quickly as you could have sent that many PM messages. Karl
Still looking?
