Rapid Details for ArchiCAD 12 – Important Note

It has come to our attention that when Rapid Details is first installed in ArchiCAD 12 that the ArchiCAD Default Pens for the Rapid Detail Tool default to 0. This causes a number of issues and warnings.

The issue is easily remedied by opening up the Rapid Details Settings dialog, switching to the Floor Plan and Section Tab and setting all relevant Pen Settings to 1 (ie Symbol Line Pens, Cut Line Pens etc.)
