Want to give your floor plans a clean, modern look? With Archicad's Graphic Overrides, you can easily customize the appearance of your elements based on certain rules.
Follow these steps to achieve a minimalist design for your floor plans!
Create a Graphic Override Combination
Open Graphic Overrides
Navigate to the Graphic Overrides Combination panel (Document > Graphic Overrides > Graphic Overrides Combination)
On the left, you'll see combinations—create a new one.
On the right, add three rules:
For general elements, like objects
For slab fills
For cut elements
