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:

Minimal Space of Objects

Check this box to show the objects’ minimal space on the Floor Plan, using a contour and fill. 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 objects which have a defined Minimal Space parameter.

•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 Section/Elevation and 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

Object Accessories in 3D

Click the toggle buttons to show or hide these types of accessories in 3D:

•Knobs

•Taps

Object Opening Line in 3D

•Choose either Knob or Hinges to set the opening lines’ orientation.

•Choose line types (dashed, solid, dotted) for the opening lines on the opening and opposite sides.

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

Object MEP Connections

Elements compatible with MEP Designer include Connections to enable connection to any object in an MEP route.

Use this checkbox to show or hide these Connections.
