1. Why are Attributes important?

Attributes need to be the same across linked files so elements show correctly.

Attributes manage scheduling properties.

To protect your company’s copyrights.

2. What does Floor Plan Cut Plane stand for?

Virtual Horizontal Plane in 3d Window you can use for setting up Storey Levels.

It is the height above the respective floor level where elements displayed in a plan view are cut along.

A guide plane visible in Sections/Elevations indicating where the Elevation/Section Markers are located.

3. Why is beneficial to use Favo(u)rites?

Use Favo(u)rites to set up your Keyboard Shortcuts combinations.

It saves time as you don’t need to check and adjust all the settings of a Tool before placing an element.

Favo(u)rites make it safe to copy elements across the Archicad files.

4. What will help you to draw more accurately?

Use Zoom Tool frequently.

First draw the shapes with 2d lines and than follow lines with walls, slabs, etc.

Use Hairline mode to easily identify nodes and edges.

5. What is the the best modelling process to keep the level of accuracy high?

You don’t have to worry about the accuracy while modelling. You can always override dimension lines inlayer stages.

Model most of the elements in 3D window, than check the accuracy in 2d plan view.

Mainly draw or edit in plan, elevation or section as you will have more and better references in regard to the accuracy of any edits, then review in 3D.

6. What is special about Doors and Windows?

Doors and Windows can be placed as independent items.

You can modify them in 3d window.

Doors and windows are associated to the wall you place them in. This means when you delete a wall, all windows placed in it will be deleted as well.

7. How can you reduce the complexity of an Archicad file?

Always safe a backup file when competing milestone project phase.

Regularly delete Library Manager reports.

Think of what Level Of Detail your 3D project specifically requires and if supplementing it with 2D elements may speed up the overall documentation process.
