Imagine the Archicad workspace as an unlimited 3D space where you design and model your buildings. To be able to communicate your design to others you need to issue a set of conventional drawings that other professionals can read and understand. As such every project can be described as a set of floor plans, sections, elevations, details, 3D perspectives, schedules, lists, etc.

This is what the Project Map does. It provides a tree structure of all viewpoints of your Virtual Building Model organised into corresponding folders. Each viewpoint is a drawing or schedule/list projected straight from the virtual building model. Every time you add a storey, section or elevation marker, detail marker, schedule, a corresponding entry will be filed under the relevant category in the Project Map (refer image below).

All of the listed viewpoints (projections) of the virtual model are displaying project elements filtered through various filters, enabling the specific display of  only a certain amount of elements/information that is required on a conventional drawing based on its design stage.
