ArchiCAD advice

Printing to a PDF file:
Set up your line weights first. I like to use hairlines for the on screen display and for most quick linework for printing (very thin lines). Line thicknesses are established in the pens and colours dialog box. You can select a pen colour, and adjust the thickness for printing or for on-screen display. There is another dialog box for determining whether or not you will see hairlines on screen or true line thicknesses. I just use hairlines on screen: easier for accuracy in making things and easier on my eyes.

Structural design with ArchiCAD, and its integration with structural software

A building’s architectural design and its physical structure are closely interrelated: on the one hand, the architectural design of the building defines the structure; on the other hand, the structural design of a building reflects the overall architectural design. As structure became a visual and aesthetic part of the design in modern architecture, structures must be as light as possible while maintaining complete integrity. Also, the structure must be optimized for performance and price.

Rich Text in ArchiCAD 9

ONE of the great improvements to AC9 is the rich text in the working environment. On the principle that anything that appears in the floor plan must also work in GDL, there is a way to author Rich Text in GDL – but it’s very hard work! It is not simply a matter of using something easy like BB-Code.

Permission Granted: ADC triumphs on a tough site with ArchiCAD

The site was in a very appealing location, within one of the housing hotspots of the Midlands. The private location in a leafy green setting was perfect for a high quality development of four 2.5 storey 2500sqft detached houses. However, our design proposal would be a backland development, additional houses built within an already built up area, on the edge of Sutton Park. “We were confident that we could design a scheme that would give maximum site coverage whilst retaining the leafy setting.

Adapter Tutorial Tutorial 3 : Invoking SAP BAPI

Adapter TutorialReference: 2005/04/26 Adapter Tutorial Tutorial 3 : Invoking SAP BAPI through the Oracle AS Adapter The Oracle AS Adapter for SAP exposes the SAP BAPIs and RFCs as a Service via WSDL with JCA binding. This tutorial describes how to invoke a SAP BAPI interface and query the inverntory given Material ID. The BPEL process is a synchronous request-response service that invokes the SAP BAPI_MATPHYSINV_GETDETAIL API. Tutorial 3 : Invoking SAP BAPI through the Oracle AS Adapter………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Overview…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Configuring the Oracle AS Adapter for SAP ……………………………………………………………….. 1 To start Oracle AS Adapter Application Explorer……………………………………………………… 1 Configuring a BPEL process to invoke the SAP Service ……………………………………………….. 4 Deploying & Testing the BPEL Process………………………………………………………………………. 8 Overview The Oracle AS Adapter for SAP is part of the Oracle AS Adapter install. The Oracle as Adapter for SAP can be deployed as both a webservice Servlet as well as JCA 1.5 Resource Adapter.

GPGPU – Basic Math Tutorial

The goal of this tutorial is to explain the background and all necessary steps that are required to implement a simple linear algebra operator on the GPU: saxpy() as known from the BLAS library. For two vectors x and y of length N and a scalar value alpha, we want to compute a scaled vector-vector addition: y = y+alpha∗x. The saxpy() operation requires almost no background in linear algebra, and serves well to illustrate all entry-level GPGPU concepts. The techniques and implementation details introduced in this tutorial can easily be extended to more complex calculations on GPUs.
