How do I advance my BIM project from volumetry to a fully detailed constructive project with multi-skin components? How do I visually represent the constructive processes, main stages, and more within my BIM model? How do I develop analytical models to identify and visualize specific elements using color-coded overrides? How can I generate views for specialized documentation, such as Foundation, Structural, Masonry, Carpentry, and other specialties? How do I extract data, parameters, or conduct quantifications effectively? How can I create tables, catalogs, or schedules for Doors, Windows, Furniture, or virtually any element in my BIM model? How do I generate structural solutions? How do I simulate construction systems? How can I model and document facilities in ArchiCAD? These and more are some of the questions I will answer for you in this intermediate level guide on ArchiCAD.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) stands out as a methodology that revolutionizes the architecture, engineering, construction and operation (AECO) sector, and ArchiCAD -a solution developed by Graphisoft since 1982- is one of the various tools that enables this way of working, by centralizing information in a BIM database ArchiCAD allows for greater project quality and productivity in less time compared to the 2D CAD workflow.
