thank you it helped so much

Thank you, Jared. This was an extremely helpful explanation of GO and more!

Everything I model shows grey regardless of what materials I assign to the elements. There are no graphic overrides, I have selected detailed shading to be shown and hardware acceleration is selected.

Please how do you calculate for the load in a building that you put down in the distribution board?

It's a good day when Jared uploads😊

Great video! Thank you very much!

Great Video. It is amazing in this day and age that most Architectural software does not give us the ability to set back the inner edge (reveal) of opening trim from the inside face of the opening jambs. Boggles the mind.

Is there anyway to do a vertical curve frame, also curves horizontally at the same time?

Thanks!

Do you have a trick for cleaning up beam end joins when using them as facia around roofs?

What about when you need the casing and frame and sash parameters transferred from one window to another of a different type (like from a casement to a fixed)?

Hey Jared, my best decision was to watch this video to start my day, it just made me laugh so much. This is great, really fun and informative, keep it up! Cheers from the Graphisoft HQ :)

Great! I think most elements are ok to remain in the same size as they were in imperial, so only changing the units and sheet sizes (maybe) is needed in most cases. Thank you!

Oh Man Thank you so much ^^

Really cool! Thanks a lot - that opens up a whole new world in the design process. With this method, it seems to be possible to create something similar to visibility states of block definitions in autocad. A feature that I've been missing for years in ArchiCad. Is there anything special to pay attention to in terms of schedules within the design options? I'm excited to try it out! Thanks again! 👍

is there a way to have multpile shelves and only one door? I notice that for every segment I make there is no way to just give the overall carcass one door

Hi Your Videos Is So Helpful I Have A question And I Hope You Answer Me when Generate An Elevation its keep generate the View Every Time I open it even if there is nothing update can you help me

Epic!! Love your work Jared. 👊🏻

Another great video. Very helpful demonstration of the issues associated with copy and paste between files. I think there are two types of people in the world: those that care about maintaining a clean listof attributes, and those that don't.

How would you solve the eaves, when you have two different pitch on the hip roof and that you wish to have them at a specific overhang? Thanks!

As always, thanks for leading the way and sharing your knowledge.

sorry if i missed it...are renovation filters independent of the design options? [ie, I can look at how Option k with Even More Toilets affects the Existing/Demo/New?] thx for your efforts in developing these vids!

Super Rad!!! That 80's lingo for you nailed it!!! All 4 videos are each helpful. Thanks again!!!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

this is a great series!!! thanks for making it clear!!

thanks for the video. very helpful. might i suggest doing another about what elements can't typically be linked to a Design Option but requires a slight workaround? you've mentioned the doors in the video. might do well to do the same thing with windows & the Opening Tool.

Amazing tool and thanks for the videos! Excited to start using it. I’m assuming that once you have your model view in the design option you want it’s possible to just save current view or save drawing and that will create a save layer and option state within that drawing to use on sheets? I think it’s going to take me some time to adjust to using design options instead of layers.

Is there a way to have Design Options Combinations available to swap without opening the design options manager? It would be handy to quickly switch between combos.

Impressive as always, thank you very much for this amazing content.

I'm having an odd issue with favorites when importing. It's not importing the correct 2d fill type in. For example - millwork should have a "BACKGROUND" fill pattern. But, when it comes into my file it comes in as "AR-SAND". Actually many of the favorites come in with "AR-SAND" as the 2d fill type. Any thoughts on what that issue could be? I have checked the file that I'm importing from (which is your template) and it is correct with the "Background" fill. Is there some setting I dont have correct when importing favorites?

so, the one thing i got from this new tool is that Design Options (DO) gives you another tool to toggle visibility for an entire group of elements without having to resort to adding more layers. you can keep the same layers turned on, use them & have them turned on/off in whatever view you need them. this is a great series. shame the next one is going to be the last. but if there'd be more interesting ways of using this tool, it'd be great if you can make more videos for it.

Does anybody else have an issue with archicad crashing when you duplicate a design option?

Thank you - the "proposed scheme" concept is brilliant. Random question - what are you using to mark up the screen during presentations (ie: blue marker to circle where the paddle boards would be)?

I've used that grid concept forever! :) It's OK when used in 2d but, when working in 3d it adds so much bloat to the model (and can cause other issues). Very helpful video. I've downloaded your 27 template and started to incorporate my template into it. It takes me a day or two to do it for each new release or Archicad. I wish there was a quicker way to combine them - kind of like an import favorites file. I've followed your video on how to incorporate new changes but, as the year goes on my file size get much larger. Especially because I usually just copy from one project to the next in lieu of updating a separate template file. This way all of the changes that I make are automatically incorporated into my next project. When you update the template to add the design options - is that something that is easy to transfer into an existing template?

2d lineworks' place is on a worksheet, at the right position (not far away in the floorplan) - it's a way more easier to use it with tracing. and actually, why using 2d linework, if you can adjust dimensions and do sketches right with the 3d elements themself. of course it's easy to make those lines to disappear with options...

How can I change the front and the countertop of the cabinet? (Like color, style, material…)

Extremely useful video. Looking forward to the follow up vids as well. This is a major improvement to Archicad and will work perfectly with my workflow. No more having to copy the entire model 500 feet apart to create various options.

Hi Jared, I've just downloaded your template and there are missing library parts like windows, staircases etc...how can i fix this....thank you

Brand spankin' new to ArchiCAD...I've got a good feeling about these videos.

Thanks!

I find that when I use a thin wall for linings it often wants to interact strangely with the main walls. Using a separate layer and changing the intersection number works.

why does the toolbar at the top not show up after I add the shoegnome work environment?

select #window #palletts # tool bar # then drag the whole dialog box to left corner

Hello, Thanks for the video. I'm struggling with creating a schedule for the materials used in the project (materials legend) for my layout. Hope that you can help me, sir. Thanks

For existing doors, what I do, is showing them at 45 degrees opening instead of 90. Much easier :)

More of ur videos

thank you! can't wait to try it out.

Great video thanks! I always shy away from GDL, but this is doable.

Thanks! Super helpful!

gdl and gsm...😊
