Jump 9 to 10 training CD will take existing Archicad 9 users through the extensive new features in Archicad 10.

New Features include:

Modeling Freedom

Cross-section profiles for walls, beams and columns:

Create your special wall, column or beam with the Complex Profiler. Custom profiles can be defined with the help of the "Profile Manager". It is possible to create any profile shape with the fill tool. Components of the profile can also have different attributes (i.e material, priority etc)

Slanted walls, columns and beams:

Walls can be slanted and double-slanted (battered), columns and beams can be inclined

Door and window fit to slanted, complex wall surfaces and polygonal walls

Doors and windows can be vertical or aligned, with the opening geometry of a complex wall and freely dragged, mirrored and rotated within polygonal walls.

Integrated design and documentation workflow

Integrated layouting

The layouting functions of PlotMaker are now integrated into Archicad 10 allowing easier and faster access to all data and documents within a project using the extended navigator

Drawing manager

Analyse which drawings are affected by a design change, and manage updates faster by utilising the drawing manager with customisable content, interface and drawing-level status-checking.

PDF drawings in Archicad projects

Import pages from PDF documents as drawings into layout sheets, or even into the model.

Distorted and gradient fills

Archicad 10 provides higher level of graphic quality can be achieved in any view with the help of extended fill functions. Distorted instances of a vectorial fill can be applied to individual elements. Roofs automatically appear with appropriately distorted fills on the Floor Plan; bi-color linear and radial gradient fill are also available.

Interactions

Help find directions, angles and special geometry locations with Guide lines to make your setting out simpler and more effective.

Find out about the more straight-forward graphical-numerical input method using the Tracker and faster, easier selection with Pre-selection and Highlighted selected elements.

Among the more fun and effective features is the 3D view mode, navigating the Virtual Building™ in Orbit mode for concurrent navigation and editing or Explore mode for game-like walk-arounds.

Learn how to upgrade to Archicad 10 in the privacy of your own working environment. If you are self employed or run any size practice, this is a cost effective resource to absorb the new features of Archicad 10 as quickly as possible.
