How to land the Helicopter in ArchiCAD10?
Special TechTip Prize Winner of 2006 - a note by KimHarris from the ACUE 2006 event (ArchiCAD University, Nottingham)
- Set the tracker to "On demand" in Project Preferences
- Put in the first node of a straight wall in plan
- Type "a" then input 12.345 then type another "a", without touching the mouse or any other key. Do not press the "Enter" key.
- Wait for about 10 seconds, watching the tracker box. It should move to the centre, top third of the plan view. Read the information in it, giving you a countdown to the start of the game.
- Use the cursor keys to gently lower the helicopter; you may need to start with the up arrow depending on which direction it starts moving at the start of the game, and simultaneously the side arrows to get it to land vertically and not crash at an angle.
The idea is to land as quickly and gently as possible to get a high score!
Hint: you may need to input 12,345 in case your country settings require it, instead of 12.345 (just use the decimal separator).
