Summary

In this final chapter of Part 1, we introduced the creation of annotations such as text and dimensions and added information derived directly from our BIM using labels. We also showed you how you can include a CAD drawing in your project and how to send a drawing to a printer or export it as a PDF file.

With this, we conclude the first part of this book. You may not feel like an Archicad expert just yet, but we have covered quite some ground: you are familiar by now with modeling, drafting, and using a variety of Archicad commands and parametric objects. You have also learned how to extract a drawing from a model. With these skills, you can effectively start with Archicad in a construction project and produce usable drawings.

In the next part of the book, we bring everything to a higher level to become a professional Archicad user and learn about many more of the extensive features of Archicad.

This would be the perfect time to take a break and practice what you learned...
