I find naming zones in Archicad a little unproductive. We either have to type zone names every time, for each set of selected zones, or use the drop-down menu next to Zone Name box, which lists way too many name suggestions: Revit has this process neatly sorted out: it would...

Hey,When resizing slabs, can we simultaneously scale their thickness? I'm talking about basic structure (single-layered) slabs, not composites. In the Resize window, we can check the scale affecting thickness of walls, columns and beams. It's wonderful but someone forgot abo...

For windows and window openings it's possible to link their sill level to a story, not the "master" wall, so that when I lift or drop the wall base, the window will retain its elevation. This doesn't seem to be possible with opening tool, or is it? It seems that an opening i...

Hello,I'm trying to import 3D DWG meshes to Archicad, fiddling with various DWG translation methods. My best bet is using following settings under "Open options": + "GDL script" in "3D data in created library parts",+ "convert 3D solids, regions and bodies into GDL objects" ...

I've done some manual edits to my stair treads in stair edit mode. Is there a button to reset all the changes to default? (while keeping all the settings from Stair Settings Dialog) Operating system used: Windows 10

What disappointed me personally is that not long (less than a year) before GS officially announced moving Archicad to subscription-only, there was a GS representative on this forum (sadly, I can't find the post) saying there were no plans for changing the business model.

Yeah, for Archicad, I always prep the clouds in CloudCompare and subsample them to 10 mm density, which is like optimal-minimum for architecture, and sparse enough not to choke AC to death, but for modeling steel works or heritage detail, I need 5 mm density, and that's alre...

Had to look up what "borked up" means, haha What I showed is just a small fragment, an example of large and complex piping systems we model, using different software, based on point clouds. This could technically be done in Archicad, using MEP elements, but Archicad totally ...

I love the ideas. As someone who works with point clouds on a daily basis (in AC and other programs), this is the perfect summary of my main issues and annoyances. Something that Revit, for instance, handles incomparably better (even though I use Revit 2016, which is conside...

Patrick, how is AI supposed to help me in this situation? I don't think we understand each other. I'd make a crappy AI model, which by no means retained topology, scale, proportions, anything, and then would import it with exactly the same issues.
