Imperial Styles Missing in Template can't re-load?

VisualARQ
1

Hi All,

Just switched from an adesk addiction (20 years on revit, i am going to start a 12 step program for formers), so it’s really good to be here.

The not so good: I loaded an Imperial Template, went to insert door into a wall, everything in the drop down is metric. Re-installed Imperial styles just in case, (chose “ALL” during import), went to door dialog, everything is still metric.

I hope this is common, and an easy fix, I am jumping straight into production and I need to get rolling. For the time, I have altered a couple of stand-in doors, to get me through design doc, but I want those full featured version of Visarq, not one I should need to rebuilt from scratch (if that’s possible.

By the way, I checked my units, I’m set to feet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

B.

Hi @BillyCoopDraws are you using a VisualARQ - Feet template? can you provide a screenshot of what you see?

This is what you should see when you edit the properties of a door, for example:

It’s true that the “predefined” names of door sizes for each door style, are in mm in imperial templates. You can edit those names if you like (from the door styles dialog). And we may change this in future versions:

Thank you Francesc.

Everything is like your image (I am in imperial, the properties show it).. I suppose what I was expecting was pre-loaded imperial objects. In any event, when I first set up rvt, it was the same. Create a library of office standard doors/windows, I was just hoping imperial was imperial and I could skip this step with standard objects out of the box.

I would also like to ask you another question, as I have you attention: I’m creating a roof by curve. Nice tool, but it looks like if I go below 20d, the roof just disappears. I’m trying to create a very simple hip @ 4:12 (18.4), and I cannot; when I switch to anything over 20 (22.5=5:12), it creates it with ease. I hope this isn’t a limitation.

Thank you again, I am really enjoying getting out from under the adesk 800lb gorilla, and I am thoroughly enjoying the challenges of learning VARhino. I am a production studio, by the way, so if you need anything tested or a alt pipeline for anything, I’d be happy to help out.

Have you checked the object styles library in VisualARQ-Feet/Inches templates? aren’t they what you expected? which object styles (or sizes) are you missing?

That’s strange! can you share a sample file of that?
