Tutorial V – Baroque Church
This tutorial is the final development of the church as more complex details are added to the already finished tasks explained in former modeling tutorials (Tutorial I – Gothic Window, Tutorial II – Baroque Spire and Tutorial IV – Gothic Church). Main new features shown are using the Profiler tool and the advantages of Layer Combinations. Watch the video with subtitles to be able to fully follow the thinking of the training. The boxes paired with the tutorial shortfilm will help you to quickly overview the key points of the construction process.
Layer Combinations
Layer Combinations provide a great ease in the modeling process. Different layers can be turned on and off separately and different sets based on this different state can be saved. Based on these sets different states of the same model can be shown. Open the Layer Settings by pressing Ctrl / Cmd + L shortcut.
Complex Profiles
With the help of the Profiler you can quickly create profiles, 2D sections of later placed elements – walls, beams, columns etc. The profiles drawn as Fills can be quickly extruded by simply placing the Walls, Beams etc. with Complex Profile method. At the turning points of the reference lines the correct connection of the profiles is automatically created. A great advantage of the Complex Profile is that modifying the source profile directly effects the elements placed with the source. You can reach the Profile Manager from Options / Complex Profiles.
Tutorial I – Gothic Window
Being the starting chapter of the Modeling Tutorial Series this tutorial is about advanced 2D editing using the advantages of special constructing tools like the Guide Lines and Snap Guides. Watch the video with subtitles to be able to fully follow the thinking of...
Tutorial II – Baroque Spire
This part of the Modeling Tutorial Series gives an insight to ARCHICAD’s Morph Modeling by combining the different editing methods to build a Baroque Spire in 6 relatively simple steps. Watch the video with subtitles to be able to fully follow the thinking of the...
Tutorial III – Textured Houses
Textured Houses tutorial provides the learner with more advanced steps on how to add Morph Surfaces, also repeating some previously used editing methods. The tutorial provides information on how to change already set surfaces and how to make new textures and...
Tutorial IV – Gothic Church
As part of this chapter a new Morph editing option is introduced in details: ‘Solid Element Operations’ is shown as an alternative to Boolean Operations (Tutorial II - Baroque Spire). Watch the video with subtitles to be able to fully follow the thinking of the...
Tutorial VI – Terrain
The tutorial shows the steps that should be taken in order to build a terrain from the base lines of a topographic map. With the help of the Magic Wand the lines of the map can be quickly adapted and afterwards the lines can receive their height values. As part of...
Tutorial VII – Hotlinked Modules
Using hotlinked modules is an option for working with parallel model files while in the meantime integrating them into a joint project file. This soltuion can also be a way for working in a team, though ARCHICAD also provides much more developed options for this....
