ArchiCAD Basic Training Lesson 2 | Creating a Virtual Building | QuickStart Course Excerpt

In this 21 minute ArchiCAD tutorial video we'll start the process of creating a virtual building. Basic drawing of walls, doors and windows is explained, along with common geometry and placement options. The building is created on the floor plan, and edited on plan as well as in the 3D window.

I only have "Override Cut Fill Pens"...

Hello Eric,
when I'm trying to draw rectangular wall, as you are showing here, my archicad 14 doesn't show any units, so I'm not able to chose the correct length of the sides of the walls or modify the existing ones. Could you help me, please?
Thank you very much for your tutorials

hi Eric, thank you so much for this tutorial, I have a question concerning my own archicad, you see I have archicad 15 and since I install it it doesn't display any material texture or any color on my 3d models, when I press F3 I just get the volume white? so what's the problem? please help me with this

[Freestyla]

Hi,

Can you tell me where I can find the setup to put de whole numbers in centimeters please? Because I can't find it :S

Thx!

[monicaarjani]

Eric, do you use the "full" Archicad or Archicad solo? Would the solo be adequate for a sole proprietor architect with residential, apartment buildings and light commercial?

[jonathanmay]

Hi Eric, I'm finding this incredibly helpful. Thank you. The little dimensions box doesn't come up when I'm drawing boxes. Might I have turned it off somehow?

[rbki]

So how do you change/modify your scale/units?

Erick here in Mexico if you like to print the guys who owns the plotter use autocad, if like to draw a whole project in archicad, i might have compatibility issues or not?, because i only use archicad for 3d and i´m not an expert like you but i´ll do pretty well, and i see your training guide very complete and simple to understand, last question i use my mac with spaces configuration but when i want to use archicad, this spaces separates all my tools what should i do, thanks in advance
