The editing plane can also be offset from a specific node on an object.Ī particularly common process with the use of editing planes in ArchiCAD 15 is the use of “projection” from an editing plane to the plane of another object. The user can change the editing plane from horizontal, to vertical or to a specified orientation using one of several methods. While working in 3D, various operations may require a change in orientation of the 3D editing plane. Specific to the grid of the editing plane in 3D are a pair of opacity settings–quite necessary for working in 3D work–for both the grid itself and its background color (see sliders in lower right of images 01-02 ). The user can, for example, change the grid and grid background color. Grid lines and editing plane parameters are customizable. The editing plane itself also sets its own size, always big enough to contain the extend of all 3D elements.Ġ2 - Unique only to the 3D editing plane are opacity settings for the grid and grid plane background colors. Rather, the user’s choice of tool sets a default height and location for the 3D editing plane. Interestingly, the user does not have to set the location of the 3D editing plate from the start.
The new editing plane in 3D is displayed as a light blue-green grid. New in ArchiCAD 15 is new editing planes in 3D. The point is to emphasize that in ArchiCAD 15 Graphisoft has added new capabilities that greatly improve the ability to work in 3D. Even so, those with multiple 3D CAD experience will always argue the virtues of one application over another. But being good and being great are two different things. It should be stated right away that ArchiCAD has always been a consummate 3D architectural CAD/BIM application. Gaining Perspective: Working in Three Dimensions Just Got Easier We will also touch on productivity, collaboration and other features at the end. In this In-Depth feature article we will review and show some of ArchiCAD 15 major new features across these three major areas. The third major improvement in ArchiCAD is focused on renovation work and the company has crafted into ArchiCAD 15 excellent tools that enable architects to handle renovation work. The first of these is an improvement to the 3D working environment in ArchiCAD itself, and the second of these is advancements in form-making that seriously liberate designers to create just about any form they can imagine. Indeed, it appears that Graphisoft has spent the past year working hard on two major areas of improvement to ArchiCAD, that both affect the ability of architects to work full time in three dimensions.
