Introduction The philosophy of designing in ArchiCAD, is the answer to the following question: “How can you design your project, in the way that it would be less time consuming, more ef cient, with good structure and fellow detailing of your Virtual Building. This self-taught course is developed for the students of architecture, and professionals in the eld of architecture or related to architecture. It will give you the needed knowledge, through step by step tutorial, for you to advance in ArchiCAD, and use it to design your own projects as Virtual Buildings ef ciently. It offers you learning ArchiCAD intuitively and sometimes even by making mistakes, but always becoming aware of them, so you would be able to correct them. It is all part of the process of changing and tweaking your project quickly and easy, if and when necessary. In about 100 pages (50+ hours of step by step tutorial), the course of Master Class 1 uses Tadao Ando's project of his house in Kobe, 4x4 House. It begins with introducing the basic topics for novice users, and continues strengthening your knowledge to an intermediate level of competent users. You can nd this book valuable, if you have never used ArchiCAD, but it is also bene cial, if you have used the program previously, and you lack a proper working process. If you want to advance in ArchiCAD, in order to make your work ow more professional and faster, this is the book for you. Even if you are an experienced user, you could nd this book useful, as you can always learn something new, through more than 100 tips, tricks, hints, notes and variations, and with visual help of around 400 high-resolution screenshots of the process.

You should use both hands when drawing in ArchiCAD. The left hand is resting on the left side of the keyboard; as you will regularly press buttons like: ESC, TAB, SHIFT, CTRL Cmd, ALT Opt, SPACEBAR. With your right hand, you can manipulate the mouse, and hit the keys: BACKSPACE Delete and Enter, and also use it for the input of certain values on the numeric keypad. NOTE
iii
This proposed drawing system is for the persons who are using the mouse with their right hand. If you use the mouse with your left hand, you should use your right hand to hit all necessary keys on the keyboard, keeping your left hand on the mouse.
Glossary of used terms Virtual Building-is a term used by Graphisoft as a reference to BIM (Building Information Model). Click&drag-is process of left-clicking, holding it down, moving your mouse, and releasing the mouse button (after you select an element in your project). A Pet Palette will become visible, and you are able to choose an action for further editing of that element. Node-is an editable point; it appears when an element is selected, and is represented with a black (or colored) dot. Visible Node-is a Node which you can see in the foreground, and therefore select it. Hotspot-is a point in your project, which you can snap onto (when you come to it with your cursor, it typically changes itself, giving you a visual information). Intelligent Cursor-is a dynamic change of the cursor in ArchiCAD, which can take up to fty different shapes, when drafting or editing elements, with any active Tool except the Arrow Tool. It is visual information, on what kind of action is available in a speci c situation, and on a speci c element. Bounding Box-is an enclosing rectangular of a 2D element, or an enclosing box of a 3D element. In both cases, it is an area of smallest measure, within which all points of the element lie. Texture Flickering-is a visible interchange of two, or more textures, when their respective surfaces lie in the same 3D plane (when the texture mapping appearance is enabled in the 3D view). It becomes more notable, when changing your 3D view dynamically. Click=Left-click-is the respective action on your mouse. Double-click-is the action of left-clicking two times on your mouse quickly. Single-click-is the action of one left-click on your mouse. Right-click is the respective action on your mouse. Blank-click=Click blank-is making a left-click somewhere, where there are no elements available to select. SHIFT-click-is a process of holding down Shift key on your keyboard, and making a left-click on your mouse. Project Window=Project Plan-is a drawing window in ArchiCAD, where you are making and modifying your Virtual Building. There are different kinds of Windows/Plans, and they are all available for activation from the Navigator Palette. Snap-is a process of using a speci c point, line or axis in your drawing, when you are drawing and editing new elements. Building element, (2D, 3D) Element=Object-is any selectable item in your drawing. Cancel a command or an action-press ESC on your keyboard. Building Material-is a material which you can apply to all Building Elements in your projects. It consists of 2D and 3D Appearance, as well as correct physical properties of a real material. Surface Material-is a part of Building Material, which makes its appearance in the BIM, in a form of a texture or colored surface. It is also used by any other 3D Object from the ArchiCAD Object Library, which does not use Building Material. iv
Work Environment and Customization The rst thing you will see, when you open ArchiCAD, is the screen Start ArchiCAD18. If you are using an educational version of the program, you will have to click on the Welcome Screen [001] (which describes the type of your personal license), prior to coming to the rst screen Start ArchiCAD18 [002]. In this Dialog you have different possibilities to start a project; for this particular Master Class 1, you can work with Create a New Project [002-A], and use the default template (in the international version of the program, it is ArchiCAD18 Template) [002-B]. For the work environment, use Default Pro le [002-C]. When you have chosen these options, click on New [002-D]. If you have a commercial license of ArchiCAD, you will be prompted by Start ArchiCAD18 Dialog immediately, after opening the program. If you are not using the International Version of ArchiCAD 18 to follow this course, use default Template, which is active in the Dialog by default.

ArchiCAD will open and now you should familiarize yourself with the working environment it offers you. What you can see in the ArchiCAD Window [003], at the very top, is a Menu Bar with following menus: File, Edit, View, Design, etc. Each menu consists of commands, assigned into groups, bearing the name of the menu. Below the Menu Bar, you can nd Toolbar, which consist of various tools, which you will need when designing your project in ArchiCAD. You can activate or deactivate various prede ned Toolbars and you can also de ne a Toolbar yourself, and make it active. On the left side of the ArchiCAD Window, you can see Toolbox, which is organized of Building Elements you are going to use to design your Virtual Building. It also contains various 2D elements and other useful tools for navigating throughout your project. The middle area is your drawing area (Project Window or Project Plan). It displays a default grid and 4 elevation lines (in blue), which you get automatically with the default template you are currently using.

These basic settings are saved within ArchiCAD and you can use them for upcoming projects as well, by selecting Use Latest Project Settings in the Start ArchiCAD18 Dialog, or you can simply save a Template File, which you could always use when starting up a new project (instead of default ArchiCAD18 Template). You are going to learn how to do this at the very end of the Master Class 1 (Appendix 2), since you will have customized the program thoroughly by the end of the house project course. Take a look to the left side of ArchiCAD Window, where the Toolbox lies [009]. You can see that it is organized in 4 groups: Select, Design, Document, and More. You will nd everything you need to design your project in 3D and enhance it in 2D plans as well. The rst group: Select has an Arrow Tool, which is used to select an element or more elements of the drawing. The second group: Design has all main Building Elements, which you use to design the Virtual Building. The third group: Document has some 2D tools, and also elevation and section lines, which you can set into the Floor plans, and then open each one of them as separate Project Plans. In the last group: More, you have some additional tools, you do not use very often, but they do come in handy sometimes, e.g. the last one: Camera Tool can be used to set up user de ned perspective views of your Virtual Building for visualization purpose. You will learn this in the Appendix 1. An additional palette is the InfoBox, situated under the Toolbar [010], which gives you rundown of settings and information for each Tool selected from the Toolbox, e.g. if you activate Wall Tool, the InfoBox displays a variety of possible settings you can change quickly. If you select another Tool from the Toolbox, the InfoBox changes accordingly, and will only display available settings for the activated Tool.

You have one more setup to nish, before you begin building Ando's 4x4 House. If you have reviewed the PDF plans of his house in Kobe, you would have seen that it is built through four stories above the ground, as well as one story beneath the ground level. In ArchiCAD you organize these different stories in the Navigator. In the Stories folder (if it is closed, open it by clicking on +) you can see there are three stories already available in the default template you are using. You should change the levels of these prede ned stories and also add two more stories. The way you can do this is to right-click on a story, e.g. Ground Floor and choose Story Settings [011]. The Story Settings Dialog appears and you can see the elevation of each story and their heights. By default the Ground Floor is going from the elevation 0.000 0” with a height of 3.100m 10'-2”. Start altering the settings, by naming each story and changing its height [012]. The number 0: name it “Ground Floor”, with Elevation of 0.000 0”, and Height to Next 2,750 9'-1/4” (here you should type in the whole story height, together with the ceiling/ oor thickness). You could also just work with entering the nished oor elevations and the heights will be calculated by ArchiCAD automatically. The number 1: name it “First Floor”, and type in for elevation: 2.750 9'-1/4”, the number 2: name it “Second Floor”, its corresponding elevation should be 5.400 17'-8 1/2”. While the Second Floor is still selected, you can place a story above it, by clicking on Insert Above [012-A]. A new story with number 3 will appear; you can name it “Third Floor”, and type in for the Elevation 8.050 26'-5”. Height to Next should be set somewhere around 4.500m 14'-9 1/4”, as it appears in the plans, that this last story is higher than others (at least in the part where the second volume comes out of the straight lines of the building, this second volume will be referred to as the “Box”). So type in 4.500 14'-9 1/4”, for the time being. Now you can add the Basement Floor: mark the story number 0: Ground Floor and choose the option Insert Below [012-B]. A new story appears with the number -1; type in the name: “Basement” and elevation of 2.850 -9'-4 1/4” (in this case you can enter the nished oor elevation of the basement).

ArchiCAD nds a node in the plan, your intelligent cursor will turn into Check Mark along a line, the Mercedes sign will appear
, and if you are going

You can activate Trace Reference by clicking on in the Toolbar. By default, ArchiCAD will project the oor plan below the current one. If you would like to see, e.g. the reference plan of the Second Floor, you should right-click 2. Second Floor in the Navigator, and select Show as Trace Reference. Note that, in this case, you will not be able to see any Trace Reference, since the plan of the second story does not exist for the time being.
Go to the 3D Project Window and see the result. You can see that the wall in the staircase space should be higher, because you do not have a slab on its top anymore. You can alter its height in 3D: select the wall, and click&drag it on any of the visible top elevation nodes [113-E]. From the Pet Palette choose Stretch Height , which is the second command from the rst row. The Tracker will appear, and you could type in the value of 2.750 9'-1/4” if you would like to, but try to do it graphically instead; you can click on any hotspot in your BIM, which lies on the same elevation you need, and that is 2.750m 9'-1/4”, refer to [113-F]. This is surely a good practice, since you can do a lot of things graphically in ArchiCAD. You could have also altered the Top Offset in the Wall Settings Dialog, and set it to 0.000 0”, when the wall was selected.

Once you have done it, you will see that the staircase wall has an Intersection Priority over the slab (because it has the same Building Material as the exterior walls), you can notice this in the South edge of the staircase wall, where it meets the slab [114-G]. They share the same top elevation, and actually you can make the small hole in the slab, in the part where the staircase wall cuts it (theoretically you could leave it like this, since the Intersection Priority will do the trick, but you could de nitely practice some more of the slab editing techniques, so go ahead and follow through the following process). Select the slab, click&drag the line of the slab which is perpendicular to the wall [114-H], and add new nodes with the rst command in the rst row Insert new node from the Pet Palette. You can specify any point which lies on the same y-axis, e.g. the north edge of the staircase wall [114-I] (remember to hold down SHIFT, while you are doing so, to be able to snap to x-axis). You will need three new nodes in order to accommodate the edge segmentation [115-J] [116-K-L]. Practice this process, as it is very useful when redrawing any polygonal element in ArchiCAD.

[116]
This means you should split this wall, which you have extended, and make the interior part lower (there will be one exterior and one interior wall, when you nish). Try to do this in the 3D Project Window. Change your 3D View into an appropriate perspective view, select this wall, and activate Split from the Toolbar. Click on the exterior South-West corner as seen in [165-A], and draw a line, which will represent your vertical Cutting Plane. Use SHIFT in order to snap along the x-axis [166]. Click to the left from the Cutting Plane, with the Eyeball Cursor, and interior part of the wall will remain selected [167].

If you refer to [069] on the p.16, you will see that this truss should be rotated for 45° counterclockwise (Angle: 45° in the Tracker). Since all trusses designed with Truss Maker are considered as Library Objects, you can only rotate them in the horizontal x-y-plane, but you have to rotate this truss in the x-z-plane, as mentioned above. The way to do this is to select the truss, and open its Settings Dialog. In the second Tab Page: Parameters, type in for Angular Offset: -45° [085] (if you would enter only 45° without minus, the object would be rotated clockwise). You should get the result like in [086].
[085]
[086]
Open the 3D Project Window, if you do not see the whole BIM, make sure you choose the following option from the Context Menu>Show All in 3D [087]. Check the position of the transversal truss, it should not cut the vertical trusses: if that is the case, which you can see in [088], try repositioning the truss in the Section plan, by clicking&dragging it along the upper pro le [089] (the transversal truss should stay on the 45° axis).

Now you can clean the structure further; if you zoom into eaves detail, you will notice that rafters cut through the Tie Beam, and that is ok. However they should not cut the glass covering: so select both rafters, and choose Connect>Solid Element Operations from the Context Menu [167].
[167]
For the Operator Elements, select both walls, which represent the glass covering and choose Get Operator Elements (click on Execute, with Subtraction set). Zoom into eaves detail once again and inspect the result [168].
[168]
Now zoom into ridge detail and clean the rafters and purlin connection, use the Solid Element Operations Dialog again [169]; the Ridge Purlin will be your Operator Element [170].
[196]
[197]
[198]
When you are satis ed with the result, click on Finalize button, to nish the command [198]. Repeat the same process on another side of the pavilion [199].
[199]
Renovation INFO
Renovation is an option in ArchiCAD, which allows you to make dynamic display of all Project Plans, switching through various possibilities from Existing Plan, Demolition Plan through New Construction and Planned Status. It is quite self-explanatory, as you will nd out for yourself in the text to come.
Let us assume that the owners of the ARTEK pavilion want to have another kind of glass covering, a more detailed glass covering than the simple glass panels. You as an architect will design this covering, by using one new tool from the Toolbox. At the same time, you can use the Renovation option, while designing this new construction. It will allow you to mark the existing covering as the building structure, which is to be demolished, and identify the future planned structure as new. So switch on the Renovation Palette; go to Window>Palettes>Renovation in the Menu bar [200].

Now stretch the second slanted Curtain Wall on the opposite side: do it numerically, by typing in 2.550 8'-4 3/8� in the Tracker, once the Stretch slanted height is active from the Pet Palette [244].

Finish creating the ridge, by connecting these two slanted Curtain Wall elements; select e.g. the element on the right, and activate Solid Element Operations from the Context Menu once again. Select the other element for the Operator, and click on Execute [245].

You could notice that the top part of the stair does not have appropriate bearing structure [319]; zoom into this detail, select the beam, click&drag it by its bottom node in the middle [320-C], choose Stretch Pro le Vertically from the Pet Palette [320-D], and click on the bottom node of the stair carriage beam [320-E].

You need to lower the height of the columns, which are situated along that edited beam's axis; select all three of them, click&drag any top node of one column [321-F], choose Stretch Height
from the Pet Palette [321-G],
and click on the bottom node of the stretched beam [321-H].

[321] If you rotate your 3D view, you will notice that stretching of the beam created one more problem; the stretched beam is cut along the 45째 angle, according to its y-axis pair beam [322]. If you remember from the MC1, two parts of a polyline beam are connected to each other by having their edges cut by exactly the middle of the connection angle (this two beams intersect each other at 90째 angle).

Open the S-02, and zoom into the Morph; you will notice that it hangs on its left side [362]. You could actually select the ring of the y-axis part, and Drag its bottom node to the Ground Floor Plane [363].
[362]
[363]
Sometimes it is much easier to edit the Morph in any of the section plans, that is, if you want to edit it only according the two axis only, which are default axis for the particular plan.
While you are still in the Section plan, select the top ring, as in [364], and click&drag it with Drag, by entering for Distance: 0.150 7 3/8� in the Tracker.
[364]
If you would like to repeat this process in the 3D Project Window, you should select both rings again, which correspond to the same circular plane [365], and then click&drag one of them [366].

To replenish the landscape, put couple of tree objects around the pavilion [406].
