Great Video!

[@CONTRABIM]

Thanks Keith! More random curtain wall uses on the way!

hello can i ask quetion, how about a calssification master format 2016, how u get it or you just make it before coustume it, could share master 2016 calssifaction in here. thank you so far

[@CONTRABIM]

Hello. Just open your classification manager, and look for the little info button at the bottom by import. There's a link that will take you to Graphisoft's site where they have several classifications in XML format to download!

nice

can you make a tutorial on how to use the cinerender engine correctly step by step? it will be of great use to me and to most other archicad users. thank you

[@CONTRABIM]

I'd love to do a series on cinerender! In the meantime, I'd recommend checking out the ASM Techbase channel, he's got some great videos on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaDFaYWCd7Cah5Y

is this needed to be modelled block by block? it there any quicker option just to get quantitates, mortar volumes etc directly from walls etc?

[@CONTRABIM]

Yes that is the more traditional method of calculating block, and can be done easily with expression based properties and walls. This particular demonstration was more about how to extract panel/block quantities from the curtainwall tool, as a followup to the previous videos... great question though and yes it can absolutely be done with walls and expressions.

Hello I don't seem to have the Field Panel Type? Could you help out as to why that is maybe?

[@CONTRABIM]

Hi Martin, in the Criteria Settings, make sure the Panel Type is enabled, making the field parameters for that design tool enabled. Try that and let me know!

@@CONTRABIM Thank you so much for the answer. I realised it was set for curtain wall and not panels. After I changed it it worked. Thank you again.
