Miscellaneous Settings for Library Parts

To access this panel, go to Document > Model View > Model View Options.

This panel and its contents depend on the libraries you have loaded. (You may have multiple panels, one for each loaded library in your project.)

Library objects located in that specific library will be globally displayed according to the Model View Options set here.

Options will be applied only to objects whose GDL script is programmed to allow for this.

In the INT version of ARCHICAD, with the MEP Add-on library also installed, the panels look like this:

Show Minimal Space for Furnishings and Doors

Check this box to show the objects’ and doors’ minimal space on the Floor Plan by displaying a contour and fill corresponding to the minimal space parameter. Choose options for the contour’s line type and pen, and for the fill type/pen/background.

Minimal Space contour/fill display is shown for all doors and objects which have a defined Minimal Space parameter.

For Doors, set these parameters in the Minimal Space tab page of Door Settings (Custom Settings panel).

See Minimal Space.

For Objects, use the Minimal Space parameters in Object Settings.

Detail Level of Objects and Lamps

Set the Detail Level on Floor Plan:

Full, Medium, or Low

and in 3D Projections:

Full, Simplified or Schematic

Objects and Lamps use the detail level settings defined here by default (By MVO). For a specific object/lamp, if the control is available, you can override its detail level in Element Settings (use the 2D or 3D Representation controls)

See 2D and 3D Representation of Objects.

Lighting and HVAC Plan Symbols

Choose one of the options for displaying the Floor Plan Symbols of Lighting and HVAC objects (e.g. ceiling lamp, smoke detector, air diffuser) in the project.

Realistic

Electric

Reflected Ceiling Plan

Hide Object Accessories in 3D

Check any or all of the boxes to set the global display of object accessories in 3D:

Hide Furniture Knobs in 3D

Hide Taps in 3D

Hide Door Handles and Knobs in 3D

Doors/Windows/Skylights Opening Line in 2D Symbolic Display

For the opening lines of doors and windows/skylights in 2D windows:

Choose your preferred opening line style: either Curved or Straight.

For Sliding Doors and Windows: Choose a preferred symbolic representation.

Choose options for the opening line’s type and pen.

Show Opening Lines in 3D Projections

Check the boxes of the objects (Door, Window, Skylight) for which you want to display opening lines in the 3D window.

Choose line types (either dashed or solid) for the opening lines both inside and outside.

Choose either Handle or Hinge to set the opening lines’ orientation.

Note: This option is scale-dependent (generally, opening lines are not displayed at all at small scales).

Override Model View Options for Particular Door/Window

Model View Options affect all Doors/Windows in the view. To override Door/Window opening lines settings for any particular Door/Window, use the Opening Lines tab page of the Custom Settings panel.

See Opening Lines (Door/Window).
