Survey point in 29

Todd Thomas
Contributor

Hi.

We have just started using archicad 29 in the office.

I will be collaborating with other consultants who use revit on my next project.

This will involve setting up the geolocation for the site and exporting an IFC.

In archicad 27 there was a survey point object to use.

I can't seem to find a survey point object in 29. I asked AI and it says "In Archicad 29, the old Survey Point object was removed, but the Survey Point functionality still exists—it’s now built into the core interface and managed differently."

I have inserted the survey point tool into one of my toolbars (Architectural) But when I go to the toolbar there is no icon showing.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi @Todd Thomas 

 

You're right, it doesn't work well in the toolset, but you can try it in a custom menu. 😉

Hi Ricardo,

Yes. It seems like the survey point is always placed in your project you just need to turn it on. Options / project preferences / survey point.

Thanks
