Then he copies the fill and goes to – design>complexprofiles>profilemanager- he then pastes the fill into the profile manager. Then in an elevation view he uses the fill tool to create an approximation of the decorative gable (i.e. Eric also explains the dimension default settings and in particular the “dimension only the core of composite and complex walls” setting.įirst, Eric brings into ArchiCAD an image that he uses to copy or rather model the decorative gable from. A handy tip for when you place a dimension in the wrong place is to click on the dimension again and it will delete itself. So make you that when you dimension a wall that you always get the round bullseye. The square bullseye only appears when you click on an empty space (static point), or a non hotspot, and this was a possible reason for the wall dimension not updating, as the static point will always be in the same position whether you move a wall or not. Eric explains what the round and square bullseye mean. The caller had a wall that he had to move and he was finding that his dimension was not updating with the moved wall. Eric explains what the round and square bullseye mean in the dimension tool, and the dimension settings

So basically the trick is that you need to record the dimension settings that you want in the view settings and you must do it for all the views you want to change (just do them all simultaneously by selecting all the ones you wnat to change) Then Eric goes to the navigator and selects ALL the views that he wants to change the dimension settings to, and he opens up the view settings (the view setings are found at the bottom right hand side in the navigator panel and it is the first option) – view settings>2d/3d documents>dimensions – and changes the settings to the one he wants. from 10mm to 5mm) – object>projectpreferences>dimensions. First of all Eric shows how to change the dimension precision (e.g. When he changed from say plan to elevation and then back to plan the custom made dimension set was gone. The caller was having trouble because his custom made dimension set only worked in the view he was in. And how to change the dimension precision. How to make your homemade dimension set the default in your project (without it being reset when you change the view that you are in). The way to do this is first make sure that nothing is selected, and then hover over the item you want to move, all you now have to do is select and move in a single action the element that you want to move. The caller wanted the “move” tool to always come up as the first selection, and Eric says that there is a workaround,so you can always use move as the first option. So if you last selected move, then this is what will be selected the next time you use this palette. The priority selection in the pet pallet works by remembering your previous selection. No, unfortunately setting a priority selection is not possible. Is there a way to set a priority selection in the pet pallet? and how to quickly move an element.
