Text Problem

Hi, when i select my text height, to make it bigger for titles etc, it gets thicker also, i want it larger but thinner, how can i achieve this? thanks.

I think most Archicad Fonts are TrueType or OpenType, so they act like a font in any other program. Unfortunately, that means that the height of the font and the stroke thickness are related.

You can change the text's 'Width Factor' to as low as 50% (and as high as 1000%).

How eloquent.

As Tom says, it's a true type font. So you're SOL. Maybe consider a thinner font.

Eloquence (from Latin eloquentia) is fluent, forcible, elegant or persuasive speaking in public. It is primarily the power of expressing strong emotions in striking and appropriate language, thereby producing conviction or persuasion. The term is also used for writing in a fluent style.


So, eloquent i am 😉
