Need a füssball object in your ArchiCAD project?

Füssball & TT Tables at the [ShKo] bungalow

A couple of years ago, I needed a füssball (called foosball in some places) GDL object for a project. The clients wanted me to put it alongside a full-sized table-tennis table at their bungalow, which I was designing at the time.

The TT table object has long been part of the built-in library but, of Füssball, there was no sign. It's possible the German library has one but I'm unaware either way. Rather than import a static object from Sketchup, I decided to write the code over a weekend because I wanted better control over the materials (surfaces) used.

At the time, BIMcomponents had just been launched alongside, so, just to see how it worked, I shared the object there and promptly forgot about it.

Recently I happened to visit the page and found that a number of people had downloaded it--although there were only three comments. Two people complained that they couldn't download the object. I have no idea why--and can do nothing about it--but the comment by Kosuke Masuda from Japan embarrassed me. He'd noticed that one of the teams had 12 players in 2D.

Umm... ahh... oops!

The extra player has been red-carded and will take no further part in any games.  In other words, the object has now been corrected.

It is available at this link.

Roll-Up Cabinet - ArchiCAD Object

Parameters

A couple of years ago, I'd written a tambour cabinet object for a residential project and using it again recently reminded me that I had intended to share it with the community at some point - after I'd improved it. Well, I haven't had the time to improve it but I'm posting it here anyway.

The object has a number of parameters that can be adjusted including colour, dimension (in detail) and the percentage opening in 3D.
