It will be just like using your ARCHICAD, but with additional functions. You will not even know you are using an add-on. With ARCHICAD, you can manage add-ons automatically by launching and closing them from the menu bar where a new item appears once the add-on has been installed. Our aim, however, is to continue enhancing this ever-open container over time to reflect our users‘ suggestions. This entry was posted in Cadimage Covering and tagged 2D, Cadimage, Coverings, Fills, Plan Display, Roof Plan, Roofs on Decemby wwabim.The project is based on the Cograph add-ons (you will remember that an add-on is a software component allowing you to add new functions to ARCHICAD).

You can still set the cladding to show or not show in Home, Above and Below, but the fill type by location from the third image seems to be missing or relocated. It is also worth mentioning, for those using AC18, the fill type by story location settings are not available or if they are I have not found where they are relocated to in the new Cadimage Coverings for 18.

You can save the fill and pen settings set for one of the views and apply them to all three if they need to match, rather than recreating these settings for all view types. If the check box from the first image IS checked (Use the Same Pen…) these options will not be available. In the third image you will see the options for applying fills to Plan View – Home Story, Above and Below Home Story. Lastly you will need to define how the cover fill is represented on each of the three view options. Please note that this does not guarantee that the covering object WILL show on these stories, it just makes options for view settings available for each of the 3 view options. Next Verify that cladding is available to show on each floor option (home story, above, and below). This is under the Display Options > 3D + Section tab. The first thing you need to do is verify the box for Use Same Pen in Plan and 3D is not checked.

Like most Cadimage tools, the Coverings tool has a lot of depth, which also means it may not be immediately obvious where the settings are. If you are using Cadimage Roof Coverings in AC17 you may find it a little tough to figure out where the cover fill settings are located.
