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, the panel looks like this:

Show Minimal Space of Door and Object

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.

Object and Lamp Detail Level

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.
