Can someone tell the origin of the BM ID's please. Which categories do they relate to?

The ability to cast shadows on adjoining buildings is still not restored.Why is it that useful features are removed and little or no effort is made to correct the loss.The sad fact is that new users (and a lot of existing users) do not know this or t...

It appears that running 25 on Apple Silicon has a problem graphically stretching the width of doors in the 3D window. Stretching the width graphically on the floorplan or in Elevation / Section works OK.Can anyone confirm?

I note that Archicad 26 has a new Tool. The Equipment Tool, used to access all the MEP stuff.This is nice but is only a rudimentary implementation and I note it doesn't appear anywhere in the New features list.I can sort of understand why. 2 tools (l...

How do I create a label to show these codes. (the 4 codes inRED)

Barry had the key. define a 2D hotspot2 0,0 in the first part of the script. Create the object centred at the Archicad origin remove the ADD statement In Compatibility Options uncheck the 'Hotspots in bounding box' option. (If this is left checked th...

It will probably work if you define a moveable hotspot in the 2D script. There are a number of objects in the library which have default placements in different locations. So it can be done. I haven't tried this solution yet (watching the AO tennis)

David Shorter · 2024-01-22

yes ... all that does iso change the position of the object. It doesn't change the hotspot in the dialogue (as far as I can see)

David Shorter · 2024-01-21

because in the 2D view you are only changing the length not the slope.

Hi Barry Not sure that works. Changing the script didn't work for me. The object even created centred on the AC origin still uses the bottom left as the default placement point. Just a matter of selecting the centre hotspot in the object dialogue on ...
