Alphabetical by name of thing. Please suggest improvements and additions. Many things have changed, many have stayed the same. Layer theory hasn't changed much. Current as of Archicad 20, which prompted some layer changes. Big table below the fold.

Location: 04 Masonry / Chimney & Fireplace The chimney proper is built from walls and slabs. At the top things tend to get weird, with a lot of zigging back and forth. This object should help with that, as well taking care of ending the flues. Executive summary: Build up a stack of up to eight stages of masonry. The
In our true masonry fireplaces, the hearth support is usually a cantilevered concrete slab. The hearth itself is a separate slab with its top at the level of the finish floor, usually 3/4" above story zero. This finish slab may vary in thickness, and will often be thicker than the typical finish floor. You want to see this slab in
Not for Construction The path of the smoke inside the chimney is created by a series of SEO subtractions using the Smoke Chamber and Flue objects as operators. The targets are whatever elements the objects pass though. Each firebox has a smoke chamber directly on top of it. Directly on top of that is a flue object. In a
Location: 04 Masonry / Chimney & Fireplace It's very hard to describe this object independent of the whole chimney process, but I'm going to try. Once this guy is written up we can look at how it, the firebox, and the flue work together. This version is superior to the JM9 version in that the flue is better oriented with
• What Shows. Roofs on the A Roof2 layers. Gutters (on F Gutter). Top elements of chimneys on A Fireplace or A Roof2. Notes on +A Arch Note Reg Scale. +A Misc Line. The roof plan uses the same layer combination for output as the rest of the plans, A1 Floor+Roof Plan. Roof elements will be placed on the
Superseded by this. Everything I can think of about sections and elevations. Updated for AC10.
In the templates for 10, I've modified the layer combinations as suggested here. There's a couple of tweaks since then. Changing the LCs is a minor change compared to changing the layers themselves, which can be very perilous. (There are a couple of layer changes in the new templates. Just a little peril!) In this theory of layer combinations, there
Alphabetical by name of thing. Please suggest improvements and additions. Note: I change the date whenever I update this, so it will pop up every now and then. Rest assured it's not all new. Big changes will have a post of their own. Updated for 10. You will see these changes in the templates when you start a project in
Location: 06 Wood & Plastic / Railings & Stairs (I'm thinking about moving it, since it's not really a fine detail-type thing any more. More like a missing tool thing. Not to mention, it could be concrete. I really wish the object browser could handle aliases. As for now, there it lies.) UPDATE: Stair Body JM9a is exactly like Stair
As long as I can remember, we've used a polygon wall for a fireplace, with a 3D-only wall or slab above to take the chimney to the ceiling. This method has been developed pretty far. This new method isn't going to give you the 1" chimney section for CDs, but for schematics, it feels a little simpler.
This is obsolete. The final version is here. I'm thinking of renovating the Layer Combinations. Don't panic: LCs aren't as hairy as the layers themselves, and I would deploy the new scheme in the template for AC10, which will be so disruptive that a new LC arrangement wouldn't even get your attention. In my back-of-envelope analysis, there a three main
Obsolete. Use Stair Body JM9a. instead. Location: 06 Wood & Plastic / Railings & Stairs (I'm thinking about moving it, since it's not really a fine detail-type thing any more.

• S/E Status (Model/Drawing). It is just really strongly recommended that all building elevations and sections be model views. Developing model sections is a little harder than elevations, but anyone can do it with practice. I usually keep S/E's set to Auto-rebuild. • S/E Element Placement. Marker ends should not extend too far beyond the building itself. Our section
A Flue is for modeling chimney flues. It shows in plan and section. In section, the layer should be wireframe to show the flue void. In general use, elements on the A Flue layer will be subtracted from each part of the Fireplace/Chimney. The templates have a new layer combination, 'View Flues', which shows the flues solid inside the wireframe
Now that you have a fireplace, you'll likely need a chimney.
Location: 04 Masonry : Chimney & Fireplace The missing link between Firebox JM9 and Flue JM9. You could use a mesh and a slab in its place, but why? The smoke chamber fits on top of the firebox. The width, depth, and firebox Back width should match the Firebox Lining object. The flue width and depth should match the
