consolodate fills and other "usefull" tools.

[Anonymous]

OK I actually found a use for a new archicad function!!!! Consolidate fills! Well i read about it in the manual, and I read in here that i have to load it, But how in the #@&$@#$& do you do that!!!!!!!!! Archicad Ticks me off to no end, all these goodies and stuff, but you have to download this download that install this and install that, add this to that menu. WHAT A PAIN. Do you think the guys at graphisoft could possibly just do all this for us!! Can't i install Archicad and get all the goodies. Why do I have to add them? I guess that people other parts of the world have slow computers, but why don't the powers that be, make everything available, plugins and all, and make those who have slower computers, uninstall the various items. I went to add the consolidate function, and I get this vague title of add on commands in 3d reshape submenu, and that is it. Then I try to add and the add button is greyed out. REal useful. I have already been banging my head against the wall with the whole sketchup to archicad import fiasco. Sorry no mac support! On the GS website, it says use apple, and sketch up, but we don't offer support. HEY Guys at GS WAKE UP and give us useful and installed tools!!!!!!!

yep. I read that too. Though not necessarily my problem (which now has been remedied) Anyway, good advice to say the least.

Re-reading your initial post, I think this was exactly your problem -- and the issue arose because you chose to customize the menu -- so, basically it's GS's fault for allowing you to do something that you don't think should be done???

laura,

in a word, yes. Actually I didn't choose to customize I HAD to. If we weren't allowed to customize the menu, then I wouldn't have to customize it when a new feature was brought up. It would just appear in the menu. I will say it again for the cheap seats, if we couldn't customize the menus we wouldn't be having this conversation. When you brought a work environment up like we will start doing once a year, you have less downtime. The new features would show up in the menus, the tool bars will get longer (hopefully shorter, IE, SE, E commands /buttons) but in the same "header" position.

do you understand?
