Door & Window Parameter Transfer Tip

Mar 30, ’11 5:58 PM
Author Jeff B Categories ArchiCAD, Objects Tags door, object, window

ArchiCad window and door settings – oh the granularity!

As it turns out, it is possible to transfer variable values between different objects. The usual parameter transfer techniques will move “as many variables as possible” between different library parts.

Two methods:

  1. transfer settings you like to a new default window
  2. transfer settings you like from a selected window to a new default window

    “The quality of a map is also in part an aesthetic matter. Maps should have harmony within themselves. An ugly map, with crude colors, careless line work, and disagreeable, poorly arranged lettering may be intrinsically as accurate as a beautiful map, but it is less likely to inspire confidence.” John K. Wright
