true line weight archicad, angle shape

[Averrell]

Salut!!

premièrement je voudrais m'excuser pour mon anglais je suis français 😅

dans un deuxième temps, j'aimerais savoir s'il existe un moyen d'avoir un "angle pointu" comme Illustrator lorsque j'utilise une épaisseur de ligne réelle? j'ajoute une capture pour expliquer ce que je veux:

Hi!!

first I would like to apologize for my english I am french 😅

Secondly, I would like to know if there is a way to have a "sharp angle" like Illustrator when I use real lineweight? I add a capture to explain what I want:

On AC i've only rounded anglein illustrtaor i've "pointed" angle

I must comply with the company's graphic standards. In fact, these problems are basic and I shoudn't have encountered them in ArchiCAD either. This is the same case for the wall corners.

I don't particularly like the round ends/corners either.

The thinner the pen is, the less you will notice the round ends.

Of course this does not help when you want a thick line or a thick marker on a dimension (although I don't have an issue with that).

With walls, you just need to use a thinner pen for the skin lines.

The thinner the pen, the sharper the corners will be.

If you are showing a wall at a very small scale where you might see these round corners, then use an alternate pen set for the small scale plans where the pen width is reduced.

Personally I don't worry about pens for different scales.

I use pens that roughly match the old Rotring pens - 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, & 0.5mm.

I use those for almost everything, the thinner pens for regular work and thicker pens to emphasise a bolder line where required.

I know those pens will print at 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, & 0.5mm when I publish the PDFs.

Up to about 0.5mm, I really don't think you will notice the rounded corners (unless you are viewing on screen and zooming in.

Printed output is just fine - that is what I worry about.

Keep in mind Archicad serves not just as a tool for architectural drafting but also for making presentations, analyses, designing urban plans, and more.

In these instances, having greater control over line styles and visual elements is crucial.  I think this question comes from a different angle.

Exporting to Illustrator is possible, but it demands additional effort and involves repetitive tasks during updates.

Likely this thread should be posted in the wishes part of the forum.

[Barry Kelly]

There are many wishes for this already.

Here is just one...

And another that mentions what I would like to see - back lining.

Or the ability to offset the line thickness to one side or the other (like wall reference lines) rather than just have the line centred.

Exactly - and in a world where delivered material predominantly is views on screen as vector graphics which encourages zooming we need to be able to be meticulous. Just look at QGIS (open source) when it comes to communicating information graphically (line/fill/colour) and compare to AC which seem to be stuck in the 90s.

[Martin Jules]

It depends on the firms. There are some leading architects and/or engineers who remain committed to their tradition and local regulations about some architectural, structural, or construction elements. No one can convince them to do things differently.

[Martin Jules]

Generally, architectural plans and construction details or drawings require us to apply the hierarchy of the pen weights. Thus, there is no other choice, but to use different pen thickness. 

[Martin Jules]

These types of wishes are exactly what we really need to "collaborate" with different stakeholders from the earlier stage of any projects in the field.
