I completed a quick course on LinkedIn Learning for ArchiCAD, as I am completely new to the software, but I feel I have learned a lot more already within half an hour from a video like yours, keep up the good work!

Love your video! Can you do a video for beginners on how to design an upwards extension for an existing building? Showing how to import data of an existing building and adding a floor/rooms?

[babakshakiba]

Thank you so much! starting a new job tomorrow at a new office and they only use Archicad. The program looks fairly straight forward and easy to learn so I'm a lot less nervous now. Thanks man.

[shaikyaaseenahmed]

Awesome video David, thanks for everything mahn.

[sugarrette]

it's been such a great help, thank you for the work you do🙏

[archilife]

Thanks mate, appreciate the archicad videos. Top notch.

Last time I worked in Archicad was probably in 2014 bfore I moved to USA, and I believe it was Version AC 18... I see that it has changed a lot and looks much better. I still miss some of the features Archicad had. Since then, I had to learn and work in Revit and now I mostly model everyting in sketchup... I just wish there was a software that had all the benefits from Archicad, Revit, Rhino and the design flexibility of Sketchup. One can only dream.... Great video! Hearing you say some of the shortcuts brings a lot of nostalgia.

Would be helpful if you explain what you exactly do and why you select specific settings

The second letter in the word 'escape' is 's' not 'x' but I like the video. It's only a shame that desktop computers cannot agree on anything but building market silos. I'm renting a car on Monday 3000km from where I live. Software companies, eat-your heart out! If only it where the side of the road. Good video.

David, I always learn something from your tutorials, what about putting this little project into Twinmotion.

Hey David. I have the educational version of 26. And, I notice that I cannot make a single wall line that allows me to go around in circles to choose a 45 degree wall. It only gives me a square. So, I cannot put a wall at an angle like you do at 3:40. Please help! Thanks

[chelseabeton]

Hi,

I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle! Don’t have the ‘walls external’ layer, or any of the composites you have, can you advise where I can find these so I can continue?

Thanks 😊

[stafford]

Where can you get the extra items for your product library

[israaran]

When I do the mirror option at 5:17 it moves my piece instead of copying it (mirror copy). Help to what I might be doing wrong? (also im on a PC)

[yeowchongong]

Liked! Great content! May I know what’s your PC spec? I am thinking getting one for worry it might not be able to perform efficiently

[MaxGDesign]

I agree that the default orange pen being horrendous, I usually just put the overrides to 'Black with coloured fills', they have fully changed the pen tools in archicad 26! Time to learn a new workflow.
Love the videos, great to learn new shortcuts and approaches. Do you do your documentation through Archicad as well?

[zooma]

Good morning
I have a little problem when I want to knock down the wall I type p on the keyboard but the latter does not respond the same for the m key when I type m it does not correspond to the mirror but a graduated line.
THANKS

[Marina-vuvi]

Please make a video about softwares you can't have in MacBook and the pros of having one. I really LOVE apple products but I don't know if it's worth it please 🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏 I love your archicad videos

[klnm]

Hi David, thanks for this video. It's helping me orient myself around Archicad. When you go to the footing level, where is it that you click on 'show as trace reference' please? I don't see anything like that when I go to the footing level. Thanks, K

[herreramanul]

I am using the same version on Windows, I don't have that library of wall materials, is it something that is downloaded externally?, thanks David,
