(Defunct. This is better.)
Favorites are preset configurations of the tools. They enable you to quickly configure a tool for a given purpose, like option-clicking without the need for a placed element.
I have never developed a strong affection for them, for several reasons. They were terribly implemented when they started, in AC6.5 if memory serves. Until AC8, there was no button for favorites in the settings box (?!!). Finally, in a far-along project, option-clicking is still the fastest method. Modules are also nice.
In AC8 the feature is mature enough that I can recommend you try it.
Update: In AC10, they made some changes to wall cleanup that simplify this process quite a bit.
Yes. Perfect. If you're into that sort of thing. It takes some doing.
Obsolete. We're not using cach libraries at this time.
It's good to have the libraries on the server so we are all up to date all the time. But loading libraries from the network is slow. This is a big problem when updating views in PlotMaker. The satellite library is an attempt to have it both ways. It has been bumpy in the past, but I've tried it again and can cautiously recommend it.
The backup routine ("Retrospect", you've seen the warnings) runs at night. If the machine is on.
We are set up to back up everyone's home directory around midnight. After that, you can come in and power down the machine.
In the sidebar of this page you will find a Downloads division, and under that a Template link, by which you can download the current zTemplate folder in Stuffit format.
When installing Archicad, don't do the Easy install. Custom install is faster and saves space.
So easy anyone can do it. Unless it doesn't work.
1. Put the file in Project:2 Reference:Site Info.
2. In Archicad, open it from the file menu. Doubleclicking it won't work.
