moving guide lines

[Dave Brach]

one thing I love about sketchup is offsetting guidelines with two clicks using the tape measure, and I was looking for a way to do this in archicad.

the archicad reference guide says "to move an existing guide line to a more useful location, move the cursor to the guide line. Click on the orange dot, then move the guide line". When I click on the orange dot, the dot disappears and the guide line stays put. what am I missing?

It should say:

... Click & drag the orange dot, then release at the desired position....

Best regards.

of course, thanks!

and you can draw a guide between 2 points just like in SU. Start a command (line, wall, etc) hit the Guide Line Shortcut key, draw the Guide line and in the screen shot you can select the midpoint of the guide.

And when dragging a guide line if you press CTRL you will get a copy.

Or press "option" if on a mac.

Or create a new one on-the-fly by hovering a parallel edge -from another element- to your desired guideline and drag the orange dot (meaning that there doesn't need to be a previous guideline to be dragged)
