Beyond the use of ArchiCAD's own surface library, high-res and unique textures can be applied within ArchiCAD's surface editor, or imported from external sources. Surface textures suggest scale and materiality to a 3D model. In this video we'll review the recommended processes for importing library objects.ġ.4 - Importing Textures & 3D Texture Alignment (2:18) Objects can be imported from ArchiCAD's own library, downloaded from within ArchiCAD's library interface, or imported from external sources. In this video we'll review which settings will aid efficiency in visualisation.įurniture and entourage objects add scale, function & style to a 3D model. In this video we'll review the template, optimised for the processes of visualisation.ĪrchiCAD's work environment determines our digital interface experience.
Using an effective template file reduces the required setup for each project. This subject has 6 topics and runs for approximately 14 minutes: Subject 1 - Refining ArchiCAD for Visualisation Each video is labelled accordingly and you can see the length of each video (in minutes and seconds), making it a time efficient way to learn ArchiCAD. However, as they are individual topics you have the benefit of picking and choosing or revisiting a particular element at any time. I recommend watching the videos in the following order. See Graphisoft's compatibility chart for more information. Whether you are studying and have the educational version of ArchiCAD or working within the industry and have the Professional package of ArchiCAD, this course is for you.Īlthough learning the skills and techniques are the same, please be aware that the Start Editions are not always compatible or have a reduced functionality to the Professional Package of ArchiCAD. We use ArchiCAD Version 24 Professional to deliver this course. This course assumes a general understanding of architectural drafting standards and methodology, construction principles, and is suitable for students and professionals in architecture and the built environment who have completed introductory courses in ArchiCAD.
When purchasing the full ArchiCAD Design course, this includes: In this course, Robert Mann from ArchiEd teaches methods for visualising an ArchiCAD model. ArchiCAD utilises an inbuilt rendering engines to offer users a wide range of visualisation functions.
