I have a pipe object called ArchiPipe vr 1.3 that I used to use quite happily on an Apple Mac in Archicad 24. Now I'm working in ArchiCAD 28 but if I try to stretch the object either in the 3d window or the Section window it takes ages and ArchiCAD "flickers" and sometimes i...

I've used the Opening tool to add holes for ductwork through my partitions. What is weird is that a lot of these Openings are behaving badly or weirdly as their width and height are swapped around and I can't find a reason why. The screenshots show two openings one behaving ...

Am I correct in saying in ArchiCAD 28 to display MEP ductwork and pipework in a Schematic way there isn't just a simple setting in Model View Options? I have found a Youtube tutorial which makes use of Pensets and Graphic Overides to get it done but that seems like quite a f...

Thanks for the video. To me that is a problem particularly if using fuse link dampers which need to be installed so gravity helps them operate. If you create a schedule to which the Buyer purchases the dampers based on ArchiCAD's schedule where the width and height have got ...

Sorry I disagree, you can see in the screenshots below the objects measure 226mm in Plan whereas the preview of the misbehaving objects says it is 112mm. Also in the schedule I have made it gets it wrong too. It shows the length as the height and visa versa yet in 3d and 2d ...

Laszlo, I referred it onto the reseller. They came back its been fixed in AC29 so it won't get fixed most likely in AC28

Ah but AC29 Studio doesn't have the MEP Toolset, so staying in AC28
