Closer Collaboration between Cadimage Tools and Graphisoft Head Office

Akos Somorjai, head of the Add-on development team for ArchiCAD, visited NZ late last year spending a week with Cadimage Tools and Graphisoft NZ, with the aim of creating a closer working relationship between the Cadimage Tools team and Graphisoft Head Office.

Together Akos and the Cadimage Tools team worked through each of the Cadimage Tools, fixing issues (these are included in the latest Hotfix) and highlighting areas where additional functionality would make things easier for us and ultimately for you, the end user.

This ongoing closer collaboration means that issues can be discovered, highlighted and fixed faster, and allows us to make even better add-ons which are more stable and more functional.

Thank you Akos, for your visit and ongoing support, it was a pretty full on week with many ideas being shared by all involved

Extending Downpipes

When using Cadimage Tools Roof Builder Downpipes, you can stretch them to reach the ground.

In your elevation or 3D view, select the Roof Accessory; you will notice a pink Hotspot at the bottom of the downpipe, select this and drag the downpipe, or input the new length into the tracker.

In 3D the other Hotspot at the base of the downpipe controls the Downpipe Toe length.

Window ID’s in Elevation

If you are using Cadimage Tools Door and Window Builder you can Label your Windows and Doors in Elevation, as well as plan.

Open the Label Tool, select Window Tool and set it to use the Cadimage ID Label.

Now in your elevation, select the windows, open their settings and within the Listing and Labeling section tick Label Window.
