Learn to manage element attributes in Archicad 22 by editing line types and outlines, creating new line styles, building composite wall layers, and applying surfaces for rendering.

Model walls on the first floor with the wall tool, set 3 m height and materials, and explore model view options and extra commands for 3D and 2D representations.

Control floor plan display by turning off the reference to reveal hidden levels, set home stories, and use fills or outlines to differentiate garage and first-floor beams.

Learn to use the Archicad 22 door tool to insert hinged and sliding doors, set nominal sizes, egress dimensions, and frame and leaf details for 2D/3D views.

Create diverse Archicad 22 window types using the window tool, set sizes and sills, configure openings, frames, and aluminum surfaces, and generate 2d floor plans and 3d projected windows.

Create custom doors in ARCHICAD 22 using door leaf models, slabs, and glass fills, then assemble a complete multi-leaf door with beams, handles, and a wall reveal.

Learn to create 3d sections with filter and cutaway tools, control stories shown, select elements, apply a selection marquee, and generate top or axonometric projections for a presentation floor plan.

Learn to save views with view map, manage project map versus view map, and plan floor layouts with wood pergola and flooring finishes in Archicad.

Explore how to use the railing tool to create handrails fixed on walls, adjust fixings and end connections, and configure glass paneled railings, noting design limitations for precise projects.

model the P2 house railings using two methods: railing tool on an external stair and a complex profile method for a glass aluminum tube railing.

Learn to design roof planes and trusses in archicad 22 using the roof tool. Set levels, thickness, materials, and inclination, then create trusses with TrussMaker and inspect three-dimensional views.

Explore the ARCHICAD library system, including embedded, linked, and migration libraries, and learn to manage objects with the library manager and edit gsm parametric objects.

Design a kitchen within ARCHICAD 22 using library objects, configuring countertops, cabinets, sink, and stove, and applying materials, edges, and 3D representations.

Explore bathroom, furniture, and vegetation design in ARCHICAD 22 using library objects, 3D filters, and 2D representations for precise floor plans and visuals.

Master texts and dimensions in archicad 22, covering wall and sidewalk elements, empty openings, level dimensions linked by gravity to floors, and text readability.

Learn to create and edit sections in Archicad 22, adjust cut fills, terrain fills, and section line settings, and generate 2D section views across multiple floors.

Create and refine a front facade using elevations, limit view depth, hide 2D vegetation, save the view in the facades folder, and apply pens, transparency, and sun shadows.

Explore interior elevations, details, and schedules in archicad 22, creating three elevations for a kitchen, using detail tools, markers, textures, 2d drawings, and door and window schedules.

Explore layout book concepts, master formats, and autotext to automate sheets in Archicad, then publish to PDF and DWG via publisher sets.

Learn to create and customize 3D documents from your BIM model, including 3D sections, dimensions, labels, and 2D elements, with view settings, layer combinations, and consistent updates across drawings.
