Default Mapping for “Other” Cross Sections (Import SAF to ARCHICAD)

The “Other Rectangular/Circular” default rules generically map these incoming Cross Sections as “Rectangular” or “Circular”, with their actual dimensions (height/width or core diameter).

The “Other Cross Sections” mapping rules apply to all other incoming SAF Cross Sections that are not mapped by name.

Manufactured or Compound Types: Choose a default ARCHICAD structure (Rectangular, Circular, Profile)

General or supported Parametric Types: You have the additional option to import these as an ARCHICAD “Custom Profile”.

See also Mapping Imported “General” or “Parametric” SAF Cross Sections.
