Model editing with Archicad
Advantage of the Archicad app
With the Archicad app, model tasks can be viewed from buildagil and the corresponding model section can be opened directly in Archicad or via the app in buildagil. This allows model adjustments to be made more efficiently, as the appropriate view does not have to be searched for manually.
Settings
To determine the model position, the survey point must be defined in the Archicad app settings. You can choose between "Project Origin" and "Survey Point".
To define the position of an Archicad model and enable coordination with other programs, the survey point must be set in the project.
Project Origin:
Fixed zero point (0,0,0) of the coordinate system in the Archicad project. This remains unchanged for the entire duration of the project.
Survey point:
Reference point for determining the exact position and height of the model in the real world. Important for collaboration with other programs that also use a global reference point.
In addition, the add-on can be restarted in the settings.
Editing model tasks
Model tasks from a project can be opened and displayed directly in the app. Model sections can also be opened directly in Archicad to land the saved view.
