About this course

ArchiCAD is one of the most important BIM modeling software and the strongest competitor to Revit. Unlike traditional drawing methods, ArchiCAD allows you to directly add architectural elements to your project through a vast library called GDL. This library contains all architectural elements with their intricate details, enabling you to assemble and modify their specifications easily, such as changing door types or handles. ArchiCAD also allows you to study volumes and work with plans, perspectives, sections, and facades. In this course, you will learn to use this software practically to become proficient in just a few weeks.

Expected outcomes

  • Ability to create professional designs using ArchiCAD.
  • Understanding how to work on architectural projects from scratch to final output.
  • Mastering advanced tools for detailing and model development.
  • Efficiently handling large projects and exporting them in high quality.
  • Utilizing explained attachments to apply acquired skills.
