- Do NOT copy anything from another project that is created from the old template and place it into a project made with the new template. This will create attribute pollution, which will cause problems with the way the template reads attributes and will require much work to fix. There are ways to copy elements and reduce problems, but please ask for assistance. It will be acceptable to copy elements that were created with the same new template.
- Caps Lock OFF. We are now adopting a new look of all lower case for everything except room names. Only room names are all caps. Drawing and sheet titles use caps on the first letter of each word, like the title of an article. Otherwise the first letter of the first word of a “sentence” is capitalized. Acronyms are also capitalized (VIF, TOW, WTF).
- NO Raleway font in any part of the Archicad project file. This has been a problem with sharing drawings with others as most of the world does not have Raleway. Instead “Avenir” is a near identical font and is very common for both Windows and Mac users. We will be using Avenir for everything. However, Ariel is the default for Archicad and will still be seen in many places that have not been changed. More on font sizes later.
