Typical Errors [ Beginners] in ARCHICAD

/// Typical Errors [ Beginners] in ARCHICAD ///

_ layer and layer combination _ object snap Always Check while modeling _ in 3d view _ in sectional 3d / use Marquee _ In Section _ in Elevation _ Building Materials _ Building Element Settings _ Take the advantage of BIM

Alignment _ Slab & Wall if not done deliberately.

Check in 3d / use Marquee Check in Section Check in Elevation

Door Height _ if not done deliberately. _ Default setting is 100 mm, _make it 0 ,

Check in 3d / Use Marquee Check in Section Check in Elevation

Alignment _ Slab, Wall and low wall

Check in 3d / Use Marquee Check in Section Check in Elevation

Keep low wall in another layer, and use different intersection value

Slab Height

Check in 3d / Use Marquee Check in Section Check in Elevation

Always Check Slab in section / 3d (marquee)

Elevation Setting _ Story Level in Elevation setting _ Elevation Marker length in Plan

Always Check Elevation

Story Setting No Plinth _ Story Level _ Elevation Marker Length in Plan

Always Check _ Elevation _ Story Setting

Wall Intersection and face side _ Intersection of reference lines _ Exterior wall Inside and outside wall face

Can not understand the problem if not selected

Always Check wall [ exterior] > Select All Face outside and reference line

Select all Walls to find the problem

Wall Intersection and face side _ Intersection of reference lines _ Exterior wall Inside and outside wall face

Wall Setting _ Auto Group

Edit >>> Uncheck ‘Auto Group’ Group > Ctrl + g Ungroup > Alt + Ctrl + g

Can not understand the problem if not selected

Door / window Setting _ proper selection of Door / window Type _ Frame width

_ Not getting the advantage of BIM

Story Setting _ Elevation Height

Elevation Marker _ Elevation Marker Length

Door Type _ Pocket Door VS wall thickness

Parapet ?

3D Perception _ Missing design elements _ Alignment of building elements

3D Perception

_ Missing design elements _ Alignment of building elements

Building Material Building element Height / Thickness

_ Not proper use of building material _ Space between Window lintel and slab

Site / Mesh Cover Fill

Dirty Model >> Duplicate elements

Door / Window / Object Setting Solid Fill

Door / Window

_ Just Placing door / window what so ever comes in 1st click, _ no intension of design while modeling

Zone Stamp _ Text Size ? _ Position ? _ Area value ?

Window Placement Putting Window in the intersection of Walls

Don’t Forget to Save PEN SET

GOOD EXAMPLE _ Detail Model _ Very Sensitive in designing and modeling _ parapet missing only

GOOD EXAMPLE _ Detail Model _ Very Sensitive in designing and modeling

GOOD EXAMPLE _ Detail Model _ Window Type

GOOD EXAMPLE _ Detail Model _ Very Sensitive in designing and modeling _ Window Type

Window Height _ Indoor – Outdoor missing _ Sill Height is above normal

Slab Thickness _ Slab is too thick

Alignment _ Wall Alignment _ Not Sensitive enough after having the broken line in wall.

Wall Intersection _ Walls are Not joined properly

Window Settings _ Opening / orientation inside

Wall _ Two Separate Walls

_ Always make single continuous wall if material and thickness is same

Alignment _ is intended ? _ Window Lintel Height

Door / window in not visible in plan view >> Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings _ Be careful if not the window / door is not visible in plan view _ Either problem in [1] associated ref floor settings, [2] Sill Height, or [ 3] Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings

Door / window in not visible in plan view >> Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings _ Be careful if not the window / door is not visible in plan view _ Either problem in [1] associated ref floor settings, [2] Sill Height, or [ 3] Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings

Door / window in not visible in plan view >> Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings _ Be careful if not the window / door is not visible in plan view _ Either problem in [1] associated ref floor settings, [2] Sill Height, or [ 3] Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings

Thick Slab _ Creating multiple Slab

Layer and layer Combination

Poor Layer management
