Session 2: The Anatomy of an Archicad Project - Jared Banks
How do all the tools and features come together? What does a real Archicad project look like? In this session, Jared Banks of Shoegnome Architects will walk through a recent project. We'll look at the project at multiple stages (Schematic Design, Pricing, and Permit Documents). We'll explore many different aspects of Archicad from modeling and annotation to documentation and beyond. We'll look at how different features are used throughout the life of a project—for instance how graphic overrides are used at each phase—and the benefits of different working methods. Using the structure of a permitted single-family residential remodel, we'll explore the nitty-gritty of how to be an Archicad Power User.
