The ARCHICAD 14 shower head is garbage, but it is inoffensive. It was replaced in ARCHICAD 15 with one that was too fancy. I’ve been dragging forward an ARCHICAD 14 shower head. For instance, I’m tired of the OOTB shower head Objects. If I had to give a theme to my ARCHICAD 23 template, it’d be ‘confronting frustrations’. So goodbye Helvetica, hello the template looking right everywhere. Others are more noticeable: I updated my dimension standards. Some tweaks are minor (fixing naming conventions).
I cut, renamed, reviewed, and revised everything. Once I started rebuilding, I was ruthless.
Since I redid my pens, I had to review EVERY element, Graphic Override, and View in my template. There are no more holdovers from templates long past, and long obsolete. Beyond all that, my Pen Sets are now free of old baggage. In fact with Graphic Overrides and moving away from line weights, most of my concerns about ‘bad’ elements have vanished.
But as I’ve streamlined my template and moved my interest in other directions, this has become less important. For a long time I resisted this because I wanted out of template elements to show wrong. The major benefits are there is less conflict with the USA library and future updates to the template will be easier for me to manage. For the typical user of my template-someone who starts with Favorites-these changes will be invisible. Now it’s #1, like in the OOTB USA template. In my ARCHICAD 22 template, the cut pen was #11. I remapped my pens to match the OOTB template where it made sense, got rid of pens that I no longer needed, and moved other pens as necessary to avoid conflict with the OOTB template pens. The general concept of my Pens stayed the same, but I finally aligned them to more closely match to the Out of the Box (OOTB) pens. For the past three weeks I’ve been ignoring all other work, focusing on rebuilding my template.
Shoegnome Open Template V23Įvery few years I rebuild my template from scratch. So releasing my template in January instead of September seems reasonable, right? I’ve got a lot to share about the template, but if you’d like to just jump right to downloading it, click the support button now. ARCHICAD 23 was released in September rather than the usual June.
