Shoegnome Open Template v26.31 for Archicad 26
I know I just did a big update to the template yesterday. But then someone asked me about existing door display and I realized I could fix a long standing annoyance. For the longest time I’ve had to manually manage the display of existing door leafs to be gray rather than in color. This isn’t an issue for people who don’t do color drawings. I’ve mentioned this problem to GRAPHISOFT, but it’s clearly not on the top of their list (or mine). Please, GRAPHISOFT, fix my cabinet wishes!!!
If you use my template to do remodels and additions, you’ll absolutely want to grab the latest version with these fixes. Below is a video explaining the Graphic Overrides I created to make existing doors display properly in Archicad.

I’m sure my template can be easily adapted to your local standards. I only maintain my template for the jurisdictions and construction standards/measurements that I need for my own work.
