Im trying to create a series of sections through a site to show 'cut and fill' so that the existing/ demolished ground is shown as a red dotted line, with the new ground in a dark grey hatch with black line. Ive been attempting to do this through the...

Following on from my post yesterday, I decided to try and create a custom traditional sash and case window, and this was partially succesfull. However the custom window has very limited adjustable parameters so things like rebated ingoes, options for...

Ive been using ArchiCAD for about 4 years now on a part time basis as a sole practitioner. I have also been using Revit for around 10 years as an employed Senior Architect. I have a project looking to replace existing windows on a UK Grade B listed b...

thanks, I think ive also got something similar set up. Im using two detail call outs, one for existing and one for proposed. A lot of work, but then that why im charging a premium to the client for this level of detail. The exercise here is to demons...
