With ArchiCAD 9 the Help System has been improved markedly. The web based help system is invoked either with the F1 key or via the Help/ArchiCAD Help menu. Using the search function within the help system greatly improves the efficiency of finding information and many of the pages include links to related or additional information.

ArchiCAD is the hugely popular virtual modeling solution developed by architects, for architects. It has formed the modeling core of over a million buildings worldwide; its open standards and numerous add-ons make it a must-have creative tool for any aspiring architect. ArchiCAD is not only powerful, architecture-specific and globally trusted, it’s also fun and simple to use and will add to your enjoyment as you build a career using some of the most advanced digital modeling tools available.

Modelize a project into ArchiCAD export it and edit it with Artlantis. Return to ArchiCAD modify the geometry of the project, export a new Artlantis file and recover automatically the previous work done into Artlantis.

Step 1 : Modeling into ArchiCAD
Step 2 : Export the model to Artlantis
NB: The export can only be done in 3D View with the activcation of the Perspective option. The camera and heliodon settings will be retrieved into Artlantis. Display the 3D View Menu View > 3D View Mode > Perspective Then File menu > Save as… Format: Choose Artlantis Render Studio 2.0 Name the file (e.g. A.atl) then Save it. The saving is done in Artlantis file format, if they were dependent textures they will be saved into a folder created beside the .atl file.

PHP & Zend Framework Tutorial I did a lot of googling, installing, re-installing, … but finally got my first php project to work. I used WAMP for the apache install, the Zend Framework as an MVC, and PostGreSQL as a backend database. Below you can find a basic tutorial on how to get started. Included are following steps: 1. Install & configure WAMP 2. Configure PHP 3. Install & configure PostGres 4. Set up the Zend Framework 5. Start programming I’m gonna try to keep everything as simple as possible. Downside is that you’ll have to try & configure some things on your own. On the other hand it’ll keep this tutorial from becoming too big (and you probably didn’t even got to reading this sentence)… Oh yeah, I’m doing this on my Windows XP system, I don’t know how differently all of this should be done on other systems.

ArchiCAD Plug-in for Terrain Modelling
A common problem faced by ArchiCAD users is the creation and management of 3D terrain models. The ArchiTerra Plug-in was developed to resolve this problem. To create a realistic setting, designers often need to contextualise their projects within certain surroundings. This allows the environmental impact of the project to be monitored throughout the planning phase. The need for such functionality may also arise for city planning or landscaping purposes, requiring the creation of more or less vast 3D terrain models.

Deleting Incorrectly Created and Unused Project Definitions and WBS Elements – 1 – This tutorial will step you through how to delete: 1) A Project Definition 2) A WBS Element 3) WBS Elements in a Hierarchy After creating a Project Definition or WBS Element, you may discover that it was created incorrectly or it is not needed at all. In order to delete a Project Definition or WBS Element, it must be: 1) Unused (No FI postings) – The Project Definition or WBS Element can have no existing purchase orders, purchase requisitions, AP invoices, revenue deposits, etc. If there is uncertainty as to whether a Project Definition or WBS Element has been used, transactions CJI3 (Display Project Actual Line Items) and CJI5 (Display Project [Read the rest of this entry...]

Workflow:
o The architect creates the model of the building structure in ArchiCAD. The load-bearing structural elements can be modeled using the beam, column, slab and wall tools.
o Then the model is exported via the IFC 2×2 format into AxisVM 8.
o In AxisVM, the structural engineer makes the necessary modifications and additions on the structural model and performs the required structural analysis on it.
o The architectural documentation is created from the original model in ArchiCAD
o The structural engineer creates the structural documentation based on the structural model in AxisVM.

ArchiCAD 9 arrived with what at first I thought were minor improvements. But they add up to quite a lot, especially for 3D work, visualization, and working on a laptop with a cramped screen (figure 1). The latter situation may occur often now that ArchiCAD supports terminal server technology that makes it possible to work over the Internet from a remote location.
