By the time I reviewed Archicad in 2004 shortly after AECbytes was launched, it was in version 9.0 and well-established as a BIM application in the AEC industry.Īrchicad’s position as a leading BIM application was further strengthened by Graphisoft’s acquisition by Nemetschek in 2007, and it has continued to make several breakthrough enhancements since then, including server-based collaboration in Archicad 13 in 2009, bidirectional integration with Grasshopper for design scripting in Archicad 20 in 2016, and rule-based design in Archicad 21 in 2017.
Right from the launch of version 1.0 in 1984, Archicad included 3D in addition to traditional 2D CAD, and it continued to become more object-oriented with each subsequent release. This year is a special one for Graphisoft as it marks the release of the 25th version of Archicad. Reference levels can also be used for showing elevation (Z) values in the Tracker.Graphisoft unveiled the latest versions of its three main products a few weeks ago: its flagship BIM application, Archicad its cloud collaboration solution, BIMcloud and its mobile and web model viewing app, BIMx. See also Place a Construction Element in ARCHICAD. The newly defined Reference Levels are now available in the Bottom Elevation fields of the Geometry and Positioning Panels of construction and object-type elements. The exception is Grid lines in Section view, whose position changes with the Reference Level.
Changing their value has no effect on placed elements, whose actual elevation is always calculated from Project Zero. Note: Reference Levels are display and input aids only. Note: You cannot rename the Project Zero or Sea Level reference levels. You can do so by simply clicking in the Relative to field next to the level’s name. You may find it easier to calculate levels (in this dialog box) by switching the zero value to another level than Project Zero.
The Sea Level takes its value from the Altitude, which is set at Options > Project Preferences > Project Location. In this example, we defined the top of the property, at 400 meters.
Select a level’s name and modify it as you like, then type the value you need in the Elevation field. This is done at Levels Preferences ( Options > Project Preferences > Reference Levels).Īll of these settings are effective for Coordinates Palette, Info Box and all Dialog Boxes. You can define optional Reference Levels that will help you position elements.
