This is awesome, thank you so very much for the tutorial, you solved one of my problems with the code for the 2D simbol it was just what I was looking for. Looking forward to more of your videos!.
perfectly explained! just one comment: for duplicating objects in a PC you would have to use the ctrl key (not the alt). for multiplying objects use the ctrl+alt combination.
Thanks a lot for replying Eric. I think it would be very handy if Archicad would give us the ability to fine tune front elevation the same way you can do with the floor plan representation of custom objects. Have a nice day, josé
Hi Eric not sure this is the place to ask questions but anyway. So I have this question or questions. 1. how about lets say imported objects from sketchup and you ant them to work in archicad with their own custom symbol. i have followed your tutorial but im having issues with the custom symbol and 3d being missaligned in plan as well as 3d. how would one fix the alignment? 2. is it also possible to have the 2d symbol scalable withouth scaling the 3d object?
Hey Eric, I'm working in Archicad 17 and can't have tried to create a custom window. I drew it out of slabs etc. I then saved it from a 3D view as a window but when place it just looks like a ill oriented hole. Could you walk me through how to do this and help me figure out where I am going wrong?
Hello, I was wondering if there's a way to embed the hotspot object into the newly created object so that when you go to load and place the new object into a different file, you won't have to load the hotspot object in separately as well. (The issue that i've been running into is that i get an error when trying to view the new object in 3D in a new file... error saying that it cannot find hotspot object.)
Hi Eric, I would like to create a half spiral staircase. I Drew it with the fill and than I pressed "create stair using selection", but it gave me this error:"The edges of Treads No. 0 and 1 of the solid stair slab intersect. Try decreasing nosing or extend the winder rage." Can you help me please?
Hi Eric, thanks a lot for the tutorial, It's been very helpful. I would like to know if there is a way customize the 2d front elevation from a custom symbol not just the plan?. Thanks in advanced, josé
Eric, I got a problem with 2D symbols when I create my own 2D symbol it doesn't change on floor plan when we resize the object. is it anyway to fix this problem ?
Hi Eric, thank you very much for the video, 5 years now in youtube and still very helpful.
Great tutorial, Eric. Watching your videos make me think how much I still have to learn. Thanks!
Another excellent tutorial from Eric
Great tutorial Eric - really helped me fine tune the objects i have been creating with the morph tool.

awesome Eric 👍🏻
Eric Bobrow u helping me a lot of this tutorial 👍🏻 thank you and have nice day
Thanks for the video very helpful, in future videos can you please label different sections of the video for quick access.
Hi Eric, nice video!
How did you create the 3d hotspot Library? Is it a morph?
Thank you!
Thank you Eric another great video :)
Wonderful video!
hey nice vid man keep up the good work !
Can the hot spots you created be used to adjust the lenths of pieces of the object? or are they just snap points?
Got it, it has to be done programatically, kind of a bummer that the only tutorial i've found that would show me how to do it is $200. Thanks anyways.

Great tutorial Eric, thanks!
Let me get this straight, Hotspots can appear in 3d view and floor plan, but not on Sections/Elevations?

Hi Bobrow...please guide me on how i can create a shell with a shape similar to chinese roofs,with sharp tops and curved elevations...thank you
HI ERIC IAM A JUNIOR CIVIL ENGINEER AND I WANT TO IMPROVE MY ARCHICAD PRACTICE MORE AND MORE PLEASE JUST GUIDE ME FROM WHERE TO START.......
Supper tutorial!!!
How can I download the 3D hotspot tool? Thanks in advance
The dropbox link doesn't work any more
Can you update it?
how to create a hotspot tool :(
wow....
