I'm working with the LPM to create some simple objects consisting of two elements. I created the design area and successfully created the first object. I then went to create a second object by adding a library part name and a new design area. Though I created new elements fo...

Just posting this unusual, circumstantial constraint on editing interactive schedules should anyone have the same issue : If the initial work session window is on an extended display and the Row Height setting is too low/tight, the active field edit icon for list values (e.g...

I have need of a 'see-through' terrace railing with horizontal cable runs in the 'panel' section. It would likely be a metal or wood/like top rail with metal posts holding the cables. (The attached screenshot is roughly the type of design I am looking to produce.) I've been ...

I often use BIMx to review the day's progress on my design model and documentation sets. Until now, I've just made mental notes of various things needing work or placed my iPad nearby to address them. It's proven very helpful. However, with the newer BIMx version, I thought ...

Thought I would give the 'fixed' MEP Modeler another try, especially since I was getting an occasional 3d error on my earlier AC27 piping. I deleted the earlier piping and placed anew. Results: - The first two lines placed well and Home Story visibility was good in plan, sec...

Hi Brian, I can understand it’s a difficult situation. I think your assessment is on the right track. When you say ‘almost finished’, is it Schematics or Construction Documents? ArchiCAD (AC) takes a lot of time for one to be proficient, especially to produce contract docume...

Hi Thomas, Maybe I’m being too old school. I routinely publish a PDF set and I can Ctrl+F if I find an error to see if there are other instances. I can see, however, with a very repetitive term on a larger project it would be a lot of work. As to the keynotes, when I mention...

Hi Thomas, Could you publish your draft changes as a PDF and locate them that way? Going forward, it might be a good practice to document the keynote schemes so one knows where they will show up. Another practice to consider is to make the keynotes more generic and refer to ...

Hmm, did you work it out? I’m not sure the source of the non-editable error issue, but I believe grid-lines are a project level tool. I would not include them in a module creation. In any case, one of the main benefits of using modules is the placement in multiple locations ...

Hi Antonio, If I understand correctly from your example, in that particular case your keynotes are acting as a wall type legend. If so, it’s slightly different than the more traditional approach I use.In my work, the wall type legend is on its own layout. I put segments of t...
