The electrical plan should give you just about everything you need to do an RCP. And some tweaks to Model View Options should get you the rest of the way there. You can also create a 3D document from the floor plan. That might open up some other possibilities.
Jared, The whole idea about this OpenTemplate is amazing. You have done tremendous work with it! Keep up the good work. I have one question: If I have stories and reference levels based on existing building it is easy. What should I done, when I have different building on one Site? What is the right way to build it as BIM model? Best Regards and Merry Christmas! Karol
Thank you. I really appreciate the compliments. It looks like archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/ is down today, but I would search for answers there. This is a perennial question with a variety of different answers. So I don't claim to know the best solution. That said... I think the general consensus is to model each building in its own file and then hotlink them all into one master site file. You have to hotlink in each building story by story and then move them into place vertically. It's a bit tedious, but once it's set up, it's done.
great tutorial Jared will definitely keep supporting. But i have a question how do i get the window and door libraries. please a link for that would be awesome. Thanks
In the Template FAQ (www.shoegnome.com/template/shoegnome-open-template-faq/), I have a link to both the INT and USA libraries for ARCHICAD 18 and newer.
Hello Jared, thanks again for your efforts. 2 Questions, what is the invisible forces - the red volume?! also, if one wants to use the template but on metric system, then only units shall be changed or is there something else?Best | Ayman
I did a video on converting the template to Metric (the video is for my ARCHICAD 19 template, but everything still applies): www.shoegnome.com/2015/05/05/going-from-feet-to-meters-and-switching-archicad-libraries/ The invisible forces is for visualizing things like setbacks, site constraints, important views, etc. It's a Morph.
your template has been very useful. Just don't see any ceiling plans on it. would you have a video of how to create them? thanks
