How do I set standard cabinet sizes?

Anonymous · ‎2010-01-25

We just upgraded to ArchiCAD 13 and I would like to set up my library so that base and wall cabinet sizes reflect what is out there for standard cabinte sizes. Base cabinets come 3'-0" wide with 3" units of variation in width, and the cabinet depth is 2'-0". The counter top overhangs 1" on the front and there is a 4" tall backsplash. Wall cabinets have similar parameters. How can I set this up so that I can grab a cabinet from the library without having to adjust all of the parameters each time? I copy and paste, but from area to area or project to project, it takes time I think the computer should be able to do instead of me. It would even work if the object keeps the settings from the last cabinet I placed.
What is the best way to set up the library of cabinets so I don't have to continually adjust the settings each time I pick a different cabinet?

Don't have AC13 but in AC11 I set up "Favorites"

Great idea! I had the "Favorites" pallette up on my right screen, but I had no idea what to do with it, So I read the book. Thanks for the idea!

We have a "Casework Palette" -- sort-of-a "Visual Favorites" file that can be hotlinked or merged into the project file. It has the most commonly used parts with parameters set to LSI specifications.

Thanks Laura, I like the "Visual" part, great idea as I find the Fav list can become quite cumbersome.

Wow! Laura's "Casework Pallette" looks like a fantastic idea! How does one go about setting it up? Back to the book!

I am totally lost. What is BIMfast? Is it part of ArchiCAD 13?

Thanks for your time.
