Thanks for the video. I have forgotten how to actually make the custom line and this was a good refresher. You’re always making some innovative stuff and that’s why I follow you to my UA-cam channel. 🎉

Thank you for your video, quite informative!

[@Pablitof11]

is it possible to do the same with walls and be usefull for windows and doors? ? a custom wall pattern that looks like a vertical roof panel or vertical wood? thanks from Colombia mate

[@wheres_bears1378]

Can you do a video on what all the toolbar icons/palletes do in archicad? There is not one good tutorial on UA-cam anywhere ….

[@archguide]

It's on the list, I'll give it a go & try to give a good run down of them in a video soon

[@wheres_bears1378]

@@archguide thats would be awesome! Looking forward to it 😊 keep up the good work, one of your videos is actually listed in the tafe course that I am doing. The one where you discus brick veneer details. Seems like you are getting a good reputation around town 👍

hey is it possible to create lines whcih are broader yk?

[@archguide]

Hey, the thickness of the pen is based on the 'pen weight' ( which is practically another way of saying line thickness).
Document > Pen Sets > Pens & Color
And you can adjust in the settings there

@@archguide ye i know, but its only posible if i always turn on the real line width

[@oanalungu8501]

I wonder why for me is not working the "paste" option :(

[@archguide]

The most common trouble with it is making sure it's lines we're trying to paste. If you try to paste any thing different like a Polyline, it won't work.

@@archguide - i am using archicad 27 and it says I can use arc lines as well. trying to do a symbol line for glasswool insulation. but this paste method is not working

[@DavidChaseJr]

@@ZeeDeveel19 I'm having the same issue. But I've made a CenterLine "CL" symbol, only out of straight, individual lines plus a straight line. I just get the "bling" of doing something not permitted.
I've even tried just pasting a single line and it still won't accept that. I can't fathom what I'm doing wrong.
