I've been waiting for this video. Actualy i've been waiting to find stuff like you made on YouTube. Thank you bro! Just a q. How do you use this Graphic Overides in the collaboration whith your colaborators and clients? Or maybe this is useful only for an efficient workflow and not for sharing with the colaborators and clients!?

hello mr john, how to make 3D cable for electrical plan. 1:00

[dondimster]

great video, I really enjoy seeing the ease with which you master this program. Speaking of ease of moving, are you using a space mouse? It seems like the flow is super smooth, curious about you interface tools. If you are, are you using that in conjunction with a mouse?

Hi, this is awesome, thanks a lot!! But this setting doesn't work for me in sections and elevations. Am I doing something wrong?

[xelcise]

Great video! Looks like an amazingly well documented build too! How do you do your rough carpentry framing?

[kevinmulemba]

Hello bro, this is so nice. Could you please explain how to override using wireframe 3D Style? Because whenever I try, It doesn't go through with the highlighted feature I want to visualize or edit.

[samsam]

Hello Mr john, i want to ask, how to add all object/Component(maybe layer) in to Graphic override? In minute 7:42

[chenrunli]

I am interested in how you create the structural framing inside the wall. Is that beams and columns and classified them in different structural elements? We are doing both architectural and structural plans in archicad. I don't know which is the proper way to do the framing customized beams and columns profile or using structural objects in the library. It would be great if you can share your idea of modeling the structural framing. Thanks a lot.
