OK B. Arch Guru's how to start ? i want to draw sample building with all feautures in interface ( full ) ( few years ago i see little triforma and arch )
I think that BA need Quick Start new file > choose units and thats all
1. OK - i want design in CM / MM units - it's many Interfaces / Projects on start - what i need choose ??
2. I choose Triforma and BA ask me about Arch Role cfg file - what's this ?
3. How datasets work ? It's possible to use German DIN datasets with English names ?
4. How to add v8 3d modeling / surface / meshes / feature modeling to task - it's only architecture task possible ?
5. I open something?? new - try to place doors in wall and have MANY infos > No subFrame found with ID11
6. i choose Exising Walls to remain... change height to 400 x 30 - put wall save and save as a copy Existing Walls Data Group Entry and what ? a - where's this wall ? b - if i open Place Wall next time it not remember my last entry....
Please remember that it is the Dataset that determines the units for a project. The datasets contain cell libraries, datagroup schema files, etc. that are either metric or imperial. You cannot successfully work on a metric project if you are using a dataset that is designed for imperial units.

Paul and Steve - thank you for answers - i'm using new v8i...
Ok so i need a Dataset - it's not too much for new user ? ok i'm from Poland so i think that Polish dataset is long long future :) and i want this in english ( but my english is not well ) - so is there any way to start metric design without datasets or it's something like "blank metric dataset" , something typical to start ?

- Why dimensions are in inches - i choose metric and still are in inches ? i,m using UNI GB dataset
How can i place stair in old triforma visual style ? Why when i place stair made in mm they are not recalculated to cm - i must change all manually ? No option to rescale ?
Hi Marti, always to the job ehhh...
the datagroup, inserted with V8i, for now work only with wall, in the left side, you can choose all family and part of all components, this shows, all family / part of your dataset.
for the hatch, you owe click on in "align hatch to form" in yours promote views
for the preview, has made some tests, to me it works, the same for dimension
do you have set, m and cm in working units?
ciao
