Today was a leave day. woke up earlier to go to hydrodash w S! it was good fun, for an hour. then had a japanese lunch that was not so good, and came up to about $30/head. then had a coffee at this place called apartment. which they mentioned have been there for 2 years. its doing well, i rem, someone once said that 99% of businesses fail in their first 2 years, so if they were still there. that means they are doing something right. They had really nice cups that sit nicely with the mouth feel of the coffee, which they mentioned was custom made by a local pottery studio.

Discovered CELPE-Bras, the equivalent of JLPT for foreigners in brazil. Have drop them a message to enquire more!

Difference between Layer combination, MV0, Graphic Overrides

These 3 confuses me on when to use one or the other, the following are some thoughts on it

Layer Combinations:
-Elements selection, selected wall, window, columns to be turned off

MVO ( Model View Options):
-Symbols to be turn off ( eg: door tags)
-doors and their openings
-If a MVO option is deleted, the default is that the next setting will be used

Graphic Overrides ( Unifying Model & Documentation):
-Controlling the fill Colors & Line weights
-Eg: zones, electrical plane ( during color coding), hatch, furnitures, load bearing walls
-This removes the need for pen sets
-very well written article on this: By Author overland
-RCP


Renovation Filter:
-dimensions within that is kept to that layer

Archicad Morph

-Important would be in creation of the masses, the reference origin, as that determines the visibility of your plans.

-Archicad is a very precise 3d modelling tool compared to sketchup. The edges, surface and nodes have very precise related options when clicked on. Probably one of the first things to have to  get use to.

-modelling the dimensions away int terms of pausing, and waiting for that blue circle, and then moving the cursor to x distance away. No no clicking at all. just a patient wait, for the sequence of blue circle appearing, then the dimension box, then typing in the desired value

-following something literally is not helpful
for eg, morph video says it should be " 3d window settings" , however, after going through all the options, there is no such description. In the end, my version uses " 3d window styles "
