Permission Granted: ADC triumphs on a tough site with ArchiCAD

The site was in a very appealing location, within one of the housing hotspots of the Midlands. The private location in a leafy green setting was perfect for a high quality development of four 2.5 storey 2500sqft detached houses. However, our design proposal would be a backland development, additional houses built within an already built up area, on the edge of Sutton Park. “We were confident that we could design a scheme that would give maximum site coverage whilst retaining the leafy setting.

EON FastView ArchiCAD Add-On

Although 3D animations offer a number of benefits, they are time-consuming, thus costly; and require expert knowledge to achieve results required. With the use of EON FastView, the non-animation expert can achieve interactive walkthroughs and design reviews within minutes, saving time and cost and offering a more flexible design tool due to its interactive nature. Once the design alternatives are ready to be reviewed or presented, the 3D content can be shared over the Internet or incorporated in a multimedia presentation using pre-designed templates.

Wall Behavior or ArchiCAD and Constructor

This document provides a summary of behaviors for the wall object in current ArchiCAD and Constructor, GraphiSoft.
The Appendix is quoted directly from the help file in Constructor. It provides detail information of a wall object including its constructions and behaviors.
Five tasks are to be investigated in this report, including:
1) Is a wall segment delimited to have a single floor plane?
2) Is a wall also delimited to a single roof plane?
3) Can a wall have non-horizontal changes in construction (through its cross-section)?
4) Does the wall object support internal framing layout?
5) Can a wall be a lofted surface, with a bottom curve and top (or intermediate curve) that is lofted between?

Structural design with ArchiCAD, and its integration with structural software

A building’s architectural design and its physical structure are closely interrelated: on the one hand, the architectural design of the building defines the structure; on the other hand, the structural design of a building reflects the overall architectural design. As structure became a visual and aesthetic part of the design in modern architecture, structures must be as light as possible while maintaining complete integrity. Also, the structure must be optimized for performance and price.

Rich Text in ArchiCAD 9

ONE of the great improvements to AC9 is the rich text in the working environment. On the principle that anything that appears in the floor plan must also work in GDL, there is a way to author Rich Text in GDL – but it’s very hard work! It is not simply a matter of using something easy like BB-Code.
