Basic Drafting and 2D Views
By now, you may have the impression that Archicad is all about 3D and virtual building. That is true to a certain extent, but rest assured that the software has everything you need, including all the necessary drawings, to complete a project – such as sections, elevations, or details. We have already worked on the main 2D plan, where the majority of our modeling takes place, together with the 3D window, to help us position everything and inspect the design from all sides.
The majority of the building elements will be created as objects with both a 3D and 2D representation, but there is still a need to draft dimensions or labels or place 2D symbols. This will be performed on plan views and within sections or elevation windows. There is also the possibility of using existing 2D CAD drawings as underlays or even using independent 2D drawings for design options or sketch studies.
