This chapter was a deep dive into Archicad. You have learned a lot about navigation in 2D and 3D, some of the basic modeling tools, and a wide variety of modeling aids, such as Guide Lines, snapping, the Tracker and Pet Palette, Trace & Reference, settings, and transferring settings between elements.

The next chapter will introduce more modeling tools that will allow us to complete the basic structure and the overall building envelope of our first small project.
