I have a strange problem. I have a model, called house.fcstd, that contains two arcs in addition to other geometry. The arcs disappear when I set the Draw Style Property to anything other than "Solid". In the same model, I created a Line object and had no problems setting the Draw Style pr...

Thank you!

So the underlying unit of measure is millimeters. Which class/module handles the conversion between units. I would like to re-use the unit conversion code instead of re-inventing the wheel. I am writing some python scripts to help me design a house using US building technology and as a result I have...

I have a question regarding units. I created a new document and set the "units" preference to "US customary (in/lb). I then switched to the ARCH workbench and then created a rectangle. I set the length to 30 ft and the height to 20 ft. In the python console following python code seque...

I'm having problems with ARCH Window objects that don't seem to be attached to Arch Wall objects. Attached in a simple model containing a wall with two windows (actually they are to be doors). The object identified as Window001 in the model tree does not seem to move when I change the Length attribu...

Are the above unexpected behaviors bugs or pilot error?

I ran into more unexpected behavior. I created a sketch having to l-shaped lines. The intent is to create a rectangular structure where two adjacent walls would also be retaining walls. Hence, these two walls would have to be thicker than the other two walls. So I created these two l-shaped lines us...

I figured out how to do it when using a rectangle as the base geometry. After I made the wall using a rectangle as a base, I toggled the visibility of the rectangle and was then able to get to the underlying rectangle and change its dimensions which in turn changed the dimensions of the wall. I'm us...

I have a question about behavior. In the enclosed fcstd file, I created two structure rectangular structure outlines in the sketcher and then I created walls. I have some unexpected behavior. For Wall001, I the outline is based on four lines. Two of the lines have vertical constraints and two of the...

How do I change dimensions of walls, especially after joining multiple walls. The case I had is a simple structure having four walls. Originally, all walls were the same length - that is, a square building. However, I wanted to give the building a rectangular foot print. But I could not change the l...
