Note: There is a difference between merging a multistory project, and placing a multistory Hotlink Module.

Note: You cannot merge multistory elements or modules into 2D windows other than the Floor Plan. If you do not have enough stories in your current plan to accommodate all the merged ones, ARCHICAD will automatically create the missing stories. When you merge a multistory building into your current Floor Plan, ARCHICAD will ask you to define which story from the imported file will match the story you are working on, and it will also suggest a possible match. When merging a Project or Module file, ARCHICAD matches the stories of the merged (imported) file to the current (open) one. Click outside the rectangle, or click OK from the context menu (or the Control Box) to place the elements.

Click within the rectangle to move the elements to the desired position. Until the file is placed, its elements will be surrounded by a dashed rectangle. When merging a Project or Module, you can drag, rotate and mirror it before placing it to the final location. You can place the same elements repeatedly with the Paste command. The elements of the merged files will become independent of each other after being placed. Note: When merging a Module into a Section/Elevation/IE or 3D Document window, only 2D Elements will be pasted. Use the File > Interoperability > Merge command to paste the elements of another ARCHICAD Project, a Module, DWF/DWG/DXF, HPGL (.plt) file, IFC file, Rhino (.3dm) or other image or model-type file into ARCHICAD.įiles can be merged into either the current Floor Plan, the currently open Section/Elevation/IE, 3D Document or Detail/Worksheet window.
