AVirtual Building uses intelligent objects to create building elements. With Virtual Building Technology, you construct a building using buildingelements: floor slabs, walls, roofs, windows, doors, stairs and other objects. It is very similar to hand drafting but automated with computertechnology. So what is the difference between traditional CAD drafting and Virtual BuildingTechnology? Traditional CAD is the world of lines, arcs, circles and blocks.With traditional CAD, your drawing is a 2D representation of how the buildingwill be built. Inaddition to transforming the architects own practice, ownership of the 3Dcomputer model will carry important competitive advantages in procuring allfuture work associated with the same building. As a result ofthis evolution, the architects ability to construct a virtual building on adesktop computer, to simulate the buildings behavior both before it is builtand throughout its life cycle, will change the architects design process, feestructure, and relationship with the client, contractor and the community. The Concept of a Virtual BuildingArchitectural software is evolving rapidly from an automator of two-dimensional drafting to a three-dimensional building simulator. Thismeans that you will not be able to do some of the exercises as described in themanual. For example, you cannot save files or create a team project. ![]() While offering thefull functionality of the software, this demo version contains securityrestrictions. If you have purchased or been offered Step by Step for evaluation purposes, theStep by Step CD-ROM contains a demo version of ArchiCAD. The ArchiCAD Step by Step Tutorial has been designed to introduce theprograms functionality to users who have purchased a commercial oreducational license. ![]() Thesteps also contain diagrams of Toolbox and dialogs that provide quickreferences to Tools used in that exercise. The intention of this course is to offer a consistent and organized process forlearning ArchiCAD based on an architectural project.Įach step guides you through the concept or technique to be learned, theinformation necessary to build the exercise, and what to do for that step. The steps highlight the implementation of a project,methods of design and the application of tools for construction documents. By the end of this course, youshould have a basic understanding of ArchiCAD concepts, tools, drawingtechniques and modeling. Welcome to Step by StepThe Step by Step Tutorial for ArchiCAD 7.0 is designed as a 16- to 20-hourcourse that will guide you through a project. Additionally,ARCHVISTA has produced two products for ArchiCAD: ProjectStart andProjectResource, management and organizational utilities. He has been a speaker on a variety of subjectsincluding Beginning to Advanced ArchiCAD, Architectural Multimedia,QuickTime VR and Architectural Visualization.ĪRCHVISTA has produced several notable projects for the architectural andArchiCAD markets including the award-winning Architectural Record, RecordHouses CD-ROM - 19 and the award winning visualization of theAmerican Hebrew Academy with Aaron Green Architects. Simmons received a Master of Architecture degree from the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, and a Bachelor of Environmental Design degree fromTexas A & M University. While at EHDD Architects, he wasinstrumental in integrating and managing ArchiCAD on projects ranging fromsingle-family houses, commercial buildings, libraries and aquariums. Simmons, spent seven years as an architect and servedas the director of design technology for Esherick, Homsey, Dodge and DavisArchitects, an award-winning and internationally acclaimed architecture firm,before starting his company, ARCHVISTA. The ArchiCAD Step by Step Tutorial was developed by ARCHVISTA and usedwith the ArchiCAD training course at the San Francisco Institute of Architects.This is the first edition of Step by Step produced for ArchiCAD 7.0. ![]() Macintosh, Power Macintosh,QuickTime and TrueType are registered trademarks of Apple Computer Inc.
