I'm new to Archicad and am really in need to convert drawings which I created in Archicad 25 to 2D drawings. So it's a house which I drew with walls, doors, slabs and other 3D objects, but I would like to have this as only 2D lines because I need to export this to Photoshop to different layers where I can work on shadows, colours etc - just my way of working when creating a design proposal. I tried with just exporting a pdf of a 3D drawing from Archicad but it's a real pain to get the view settings as I want them.
From other BIM programs I've done this 3d to 2d conversion and it's absolutely priceless. Here I spent hours of reading the forum and trying and the recommended ctrl+c-ctrl-v does nothing, the marquee tool plus paste too, the convert to 3D document does the opposite (why is it even mentioned as an option?!). What am I missing? Is there such an option or not?
Exporting/Publishing from AC is as great or better than other BIM programs which begs the question as to why you have spent so much time here when you can use all other BIM programs you are expert at ;-).
1. In 3d View change to 3d style Basic- Vectorial.
2. You can configure 3d style dedicate and use graphical Override to better results
3. Use Marquee tool- create a window and CTRL+V to copy
4. I recommended creating a Worksheet to paste your results.
5. Finally print or publish like PDF file.- Make sure you configure the printing correctly
6. Open PDF in Photoshop. Enjoy
Any vector view saved, printed or published in PDF can be opened in Photoshop
The step of using a Woksheet is optional, but it allows you to touch up the lines, add data and also use the vectors to export them cleanly to other vector formats such as DWG, DXF or Windows Metafile
Hi Eduardo, thank you. Unfortunately the example you're giving is far from what I'm trying to achieve. Converting from 3d to 2d comes from Allplan Nemetschek which is actually the owner of graphisoft archicad since the last few years. The reason why I chose Archicad is because I'm using Mac and there isn't Nemetschek for Mac.
Back to the question, see a few examples. I'd like Archicad to act as a 2D programme as well, so that I have much better control on the result in terms of - see lots of unwanted lines here and there. I need to break things down to very simple layers which I can modify and work with on Photoshop after. First image is the result, the others are layers of
walls only and furniture only. If I want the walls to cast shadows I need to have walls only. But these look terrible with tons of unwanted lines etc. Perhaps my understanding is wrong, i just wish I could simply convert to 2d plans and do my stuff.
If you know how to use All-Plan it is basically the same concept you place 3D Objects in floor plan which you can see in 3D but to export you need to make sure the floor looks correct. AC cannot read your mind and produce it.
Thank you very much to both of you. I think I figured what I'm looking for - a combination of what you both said. I just need that flexibility of converting to 2D when I need to. Otherwise of course ideally I'd use the benefits of having a 3D programme.
We have recently moved from Archicad 22 to 25. Until now it has been a breeze of a transaction, but I today I got stuck with morph editing.
Maybe it's a little hook missing somewhere. Maybe I am crazy. But I can't edit my morphs the same way as I could in Archicad 22.
Unfortunately because I am not very proficient with morphs (I use them as a last resort only), I am not sure which menu/setting/definition I might need to trigger to be able to get the full menu.
Thank you for your help...
In attachment I have placed a screenshot from archicad 25 versus archicad 22 menu options.
For those having the same problem in the future that might end up in my post: my problem was indeed because of importing my profile from archicad22 to the 25 work environment. I am not sure exactly which setting what messing up the morph menu, but I ended up redoing and re-saving my profile inside archicad25 and everything is working again.
Yes. I have the feeling this might be a problem with the work environment. I copied my old profile from archicad 22, and it might be the reason why I'm not seeing all the menu options... Unfortunately I don't know which hook to trigger to get the missing options, but I just started 25 with a default work environment and the options showed up...
Holy crap, I really don't need the work of redoing my profile T_T
Google has led me to this question whose answers I was looking for and as I have not seen that it has been solved correctly I have lost an hour trying to figure out how to fix it, the solution is simple, just disable the hidden geometry.
Google me ha llevado a esta pregunta cuya respuestas buscaba y como no he visto que haya sido solucionada correctamente he perdido una hora intentando averiguar como arreglarlo, la solucin es sencilla, solo hay que desactivar la geometra de forma oculta.
Hi Barry, I have no idea what happened. Fact is - I copy pasted the same morphs to a empty file with the standard work environment and suddenly the menu has everything that I need. Then I loaded my saved profile (which has the menu positions and the shortcuts saved) and the menu was suddenly gone.
The menu option I needed is also available for single morph planes, not just for solids.
Here's a screenshot of the now solved situation:
I can't explain what's the cause, fact is, the problem was solved once I re-saved my profile from scratch. I'm just glad I eventually found a solution even if it might be a happy coincidence.
Archicad um software de arquitetura CAD BIM para Mac e Windows desenvolvido pela companhia Hngara GRAPHISOFT. Archicad oferece solues auxiliadas por computador para lidar com todos os aspectos comuns de esttica e engenharia durante todo o processo de design do ambiente construdo - edifcios, interiores, reas urbanas, etc.
O desenvolvimento de ArchiCAD comeou em 1982, originalmente para o Apple Macintosh. Aps o seu lanamento em 1987, com o conceito de "construo virtual" da Graphisoft, o Archicad tornou-se considerado como a primeira implementao do BIM.[1][2] . Archicad reconhecido como o primeiro produto de CAD num computador pessoal capaz de criar geometrias 2D e 3D, bem como o primeiro produto BIM comercial para computadores pessoais [1][3][4] , e considerado "revolucionrio" pela a capacidade de armazenar grandes quantidades de informao dentro de um modelo 3D.[5] Hoje tem mais de 120.000 usurios.
Archicad uma sute de design de projeto completa, com elaborao 2D e 3D, visualizao e outras funes para arquitetos, designers e planejadores. Uma ampla gama de aplicaes de software esto integrados em Archicad para cobrir a maioria das necessidades de projeto de um escritrio de arquitetura:
As verses comerciais, educacionais e experimentais de 30 dias totalmente funcionais podem ser instaladas com o mesmo instalador. O tipo de licena escolhido aps a instalao. Os instaladores e os nmeros de registro de ensino ou ensaios necessrios podem ser obtidos no Myarchicad.com aps o registro.
Archicad est disponvel numa srie de verses localizadas. Alm de uma interface de usurio e documentao traduzida, essas verses tm um conjunto de objetos paramtricos (bibliotecas de objeto) desenvolvidos considerando as necessidades especficas do mercado regional, e diferentes valores padro para propriedades de objetos, arranjos de menus, etc.
Archicad permite ao usurio trabalhar com objetos paramtricos com dados aprimorveis (ou seja, permite ao usurio inserir ou modificar as informaes j existentes do objeto), muitas vezes chamado de "objetos inteligentes" pelos usurios. Isso difere do estilo operacional de outros programas de CAD criados na dcada de 1980. O produto permite que o usurio crie um "edifcio virtual" com elementos estruturais virtuais como paredes, lajes, telhados, portas, janelas e mveis. Uma grande variedade de objetos customizveis pr-concebidos vm com o programa.
Archicad permite ao usurio trabalhar tanto com representao 2D quanto em 3D na tela. Desenhos podem ser exportados em formas bidimensionais, em qualquer momento, mesmo que o modelo na base de dados do programa sempre armazene os dados em trs dimenses. Planos, elevaes e sees so geradas a partir do modelo de construo tridimensional virtual e so constantemente atualizados se o usurio "reconstri" a vista. Desenhos de detalhe so baseados em pores ampliadas do modelo, com detalhe adicionado em 2D.
Archicad lanou sua primeira troca de arquivos baseada na soluo "Teamwork" (trabalho em equipe) em sua verso 5.1 em 1997, que permitiu que mais arquitetos trabalhassem no mesmo modelo de construo simultaneamente. Uma completa releitura da soluo "Teamwork "2.0" com uma nova abordagem de banco de dados saiu na verso de 13, em 2009, nomeado Graphisoft BIM Server. Uma vez que apenas as alteraes e as diferenas so enviadas para o armazenamento central, esta soluo permite o acesso remoto para o mesmo projeto atravs da Internet, permitindo, em qualquer lugar do mundo, a colaborao e coordenao do projeto. Em 2014, com a introduo do BIMcloud, uma integrao melhor fornecida com solues padro de TI: gerenciamento baseado em navegador, conexo LDAP, e HTTP / HTTPS comunicao baseada. Alm disso, novas opes de escalabilidade esto disponveis, permitindo layouts multi-servidores serem criados, com servidores de cache opcionais.
Os fornecedores de terceiros e alguns fabricantes de produtos arquitetnicos tm compilado bibliotecas de componentes de arquitetura para uso em Archicad. O programa inclui Descrio Geomtrica de Linguagem (Geometric Description Language - GDL) usada para criar novos componentes. Alm disso, API (Aplicao de Interface de Programao) e banco de dados ODBC conexes so suportados por terceiros, desenvolvedores add-on. Atravs de links diretos API, os softwares 4D e 5D, como Vico Office Suite ou Tocoman iLink, os modelos Archicad podem ser exportados para a estimativa de custos baseadas em BIM e programao. Archicad tambm est diretamente ligada via API para verificao de modelos e ferramentas de garantia de qualidade do Solibri.
