Many architects still use 2D software in spite of the fact that 3D is increasingly implemented in design and construction. 3D often connotes BIM or Building Information Modeling, which can feel big and cumbersome.
– But it doesn’t have to be!
ArchiCAD’s all-in-one solution offers flexible 2D/3D tools not only for BIM modeling but also for non-BIM tasks such as:
- Modeling with “Sketch-Up” style tools
- Producing sketch and photo renderings
- Developing presentations
- Detailing production drawings
- Generating building schedules
- Improving drawing coordination
- Accessing projects on mobile devices
- and much more…

About Gast Architects
Gast Architects specializes in custom residential homes and renovations, including both contemporary solutions and the sensitive restoration and adaptation of historic properties. Projects range in scope from the development of large country properties and inner city whole house renovations to more modest additions to and remodeling of existing housing in styles from warm modern to traditional.
Uncover the settings that are the foundation for creating an effective Project Template including Attributes and Tool Settings and the Navigator as well as using the ARCHICAD Template .tpl file format. This lesson is part of a series on Creating Powerful ARCHICAD Standards.
If you’re still using 2D CAD such as AutoCAD or Vectorworks and you’re curious about BIM you should attend this seminar where we’ll introduce you to:
- An overview of BIM (Building Information Modeling)
- Advantages and benefits of an integrated 2D/3D workflow
- How to create a smooth transition from traditional CAD to BIM
While 2D CAD systems are very powerful for drafting they fall short when coordinating project changes. This is why businesses are shifting to BIM to increase productivity and streamline a project’s workflow to:
- Avoid mistakes due to different modifications
- Improve the coordination between the different disciplines
- Better analyze the building’s properties
- and much more…
Get a jump start on learning the basics of BIM and how to model for real-time visualization. We will focus on how to quickly create a project model with simple andconcise steps. In this training you will learn:
- Overview of the ARCHICAD interface
- Understanding how to navigate a project with views.
- Tips for 2D and 3D navigation
- Commonly used keyboard shortcuts and commands
- Instructions for drawing, modeling and editing
- Other essentials to familiarize yourself with creating a design using ARCHICAD’s modeling tools.
Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how easy it is to convert 2D detail drawings into 3D model details. You’ll see how this technique can be used for different types of detailing including residential, commercial, retail and historical. Learn how to:
- Convert a 2D drawing into a 3D detail.
- Connect building materials to details for visualization and schedules.
- Extract a 2D detail drawing from a 3D detail with annotation.
Timothy Ball with jhd Architects rarely draws in 2D. He prefers to resolve design and construction details in 3D. “You can’t fake it in 3D” says Ball. When you model in 3D with detail “you have the confidence that what you are designing can actually be built.”

The Key is Reducing Repetitive Tasks
There’s no doubt that creating drawings for design and construction documents can be tedious. But what’s often overlooked are the many repetitive tasks that can be streamlined to reduce errors and save time.
A survey by Graphisoft reported that architects who document a project with Archicad see an average productivity boost of 38%. Learn how firms automate and improve the accuracy of plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules.
Christopher Lee, Principal at Design Associates Architects, shared his experience… “my elevations are automatically generated, all my sections are automatically generated, all my schedules are being generated. Every time I drop a door or window in the plan, it lands on a schedule. All that background stuff is being managed automatically”.
