Electroblock 1.4

Last updated: August 22, 2016

Version

Short description:

Parametric Object Library includes 4 properties: Power Sockets and Switches, Output wire, Heating Floor, Electrical Panel. The main purpose of the library is to simplify the process of drawing up the task to design partitions and electrical power networks, and simultaneously obtaining high-quality three-dimensional model. The objects are built-customizable 2D symbols and familiar interface.

​ New Library versions:ELECTROBLOCK 1.6, old versions:ELECTROBLOCK 1.0, ELECTROBLOCK 1.1

Technical details

— All gdl-objects “Electric Unit” library use as a field name value of ID in Archicad and shows on the top line 2D-symbol marker. Symbol sizes are configurable via the object interface and are specified in millimeters model, regardless of the scale of the plan.

— Objects “Power sockets and switches” and “Output wire” use value of the field “Base height” as the installation level and show the bottom line 2D-character marker.

— Object “Power sockets and switches” with a lot of mechanisms automatically generates a composite 2D-symbol, depending on the type of its component mechanisms. The symbol has its own settings sizes and colors. Placing hotspots on the plan is edited, but the basic point of placing electrical unit shows the actual location of the device. The base point is the center of the first mechanism and indicates the drilling point niches for terminal boxes.

— Object “Power sockets and switches” creates electrical units of different configurations depending on the user settings and contains 11 types of devices.

Interface

  1. Setting mechanisms types 1,2,3,4,5.
    Location: accommodation unit horizontally or vertically img

  2. Electric symbol (on / off) on the plan shows an electrical device symbol; symbol block with a plurality of units is automatically generated depending on the types of its component mechanisms; symbol has its own settings sizes and colors; placing on the plan is edited hotspots, but the basic point of placing electrical installation shows the actual location of the device; the reference point is the center of the first post and indicates the drilling point niches for terminal boxes. img

  3. Marker for electrical unit (on / off) shows on the plan marked unit (ID) and installation level (base height). Marker reads the value directly from the model. img

  4. Materials: adjust the color settings / materials of frame, front panel, terminal boxes, keys. img

  5. Listing Parameters: group of parameters, intended for calculation and display various kinds of lists. img

How to get Schedules

*Produce Sockets and Switches Schedules

For convenience and ease of use with the object “Power Sockets and Switches” in terms of issuing catalogs is added file List of electric units (A3).xml

  1. In the rollout “Document” find Schedules and Lists> Schedules> Scheme settings.

  2. In opened window click “Import” and find the file “List of electric units (A3).xml”. Click “Open”. In window “Scheme” appeared necessary to us schedule. Click “OK”.

  3. Again, go to the “Document”, find Schedules and Lists> Schedules> Scheme Settings. Select>“Specification of electric units (A3)“or find our schedule in the Navigator tab Schedules> Element. ArchiCad create a catalog on our tasks. To calculate the amount uniform units tick “Merge uniform items”. To correctly display the front view in the column “Front view”, select the column “Front view” and tick “Scale to Fit”.

  4. Next, insert schedule in layout:
    Find in Navigator schedule “List of electric units (A3)”, in front of it press the right mouse button and select” Save View and Place on Layout”.

Schedule file List of electric units (A3).xml

Very nice work, any change to buy a version, where I can add local 3D plugs into the GDL, as we have special design for my country? Thanks

HELLO, I USE THE FREE VERSION OF YOUR LARGE PARAMETRABLE OBJECT (THANK YOU FOR TO SHARE IT) AND I WOULD LIKE TO PAY YOUR ATTENTION TO A DETAIL: THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE DISPLAY (2D AND 3D PREVIEW) WHEN SETTING UP SCHEDULES, THE PLATE AND THE BOX ARE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER FROM THE 1ST STORY AND UPPER (IN THE GROUND FLOOR THERE IS NO PROBLEM).

Hello, i paid for the electroblock 1.6, but i didn't receive a link to download. Can you help me please?
Hello, Stefan! Sent you an Electroblock 1.6 Library, hope our development will be useful in your wonderful and inspiring projects.

Hello, I paid for the electroblock 1.6 almost a week ago, but i still didn't receive a link to download...
We finally figured it out. Dina, thanks for the monetary participation in the development. I hope our library will be useful for you in your projects. Note: there are some mail services that do not allow accepting emails with attachments for security reasons, for example, if you have previously been exposed to spam attacks. We send the library by mail with the archive within 1 day maximum. Therefore, if you made a payment and did not receive a letter from us with the library, please let us know by email: info.gdlfragments@gmail.com Please do not need to wait a week, email us before or after payment. We try to provide libraries as quickly as possible.
