Archicad 28
Archicad 28, in Erstauflage aus dem März 2025Dieses Grundlagen- und Lehrbuch zeigt Ihnen anhand typischer Konstruktionsaufgaben aus Studium und Berufsleben die Möglichkeiten von Archicad 28. Der Autor richtet sich dabei insbesondere an Archicad-Neulinge, die Wert auf einen praxisnahen Einstieg legen. Alle Elemente und Befehle erlernen Sie anhand von Beispielen. Sie beginnen mit der Konstruktion eines einfachen Grundrisses, um die generelle Arbeitsweise und die grundlegenden Schritte einzuüben. Dabei lernen Sie die Benutzeroberfläche, die Eingabemöglichkeiten für Koordinaten sowie den Einsatz von Fanghilfen, Fangpunkten und Hilfslinien kennen. Dann demonstriert der Autor die Architektur-Elemente (Wände, Fenster, Eckfenster u.v.m.) im Grundriss und im 3D-Fenster. Weiterhin berücksichtigt er die Möglichkeiten für grafische Überschreibungen und die Regeln für Schichtaufbau und Verschneidungen bei Wänden, Decken, Dächern und Schalen. Zusätzlich wird der HKLSE-Modeler kurz vorgestellt. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Einübung von Bearbeitungsbefehlen, insbesondere der Nutzung von Pet-Paletten, die automatisch durch Markieren von Elementen aktiviert werden und dann ganz spezifische Änderungsaktionen anbieten. In weiteren Bearbeitungsschritten lernen Sie, die Konstruktion durch Hinzufügen von individuellen und automatischen Bemaßungen zu ergänzen sowie Schnitte und Ansichten zu erzeugen. Auch das Vorgehen zum Erstellen und zur Auswahl von Varianten wird beschrieben. Um Ihr Projekt eindrucksvoll zu präsentieren, erstellen Sie schließlich fotorealistische Visualisierungen. Am Ende jedes Kapitels finden Sie Übungsfragen mit dazugehörigen Lösungen im Anhang. Im letzten Kapitel wird abschließend als Beispiel ein Einfamilienhaus mit dokumentierten Befehlseingaben konstruiert. Aus dem Inhalt:Schnelleinstieg mit dokumentiertem BeispielBenutzeroberfläche: Wichtigste Paletten, das Pfeil-Werkzeug und AnsichtsmanipulationenPositionen eingeben: Koordinaten, Tracker, PunkteDynamische Hilfslinien, relative Konstruktionsmethoden2D-ZeichnenWerkzeuge: Wand, Fenster, Tür, Decke, Dach, Schale, Öffnungen, Stützen mit Segmenten, Träger mit Segmenten und Biegung, Freiflächen, Geländer, Treppe mit Kopffreiheit, Fassade mit eigenen Mustern, Morph-Elemente etc.Bearbeitungsfunktionen: Menüs, Kontextmenüs, Pet-PalettenBemaßung, TextZeichnungsstruktur, Raumstempel, ListenSchnitte, Ansichten, Innenansichten, Details, 3D-Dokumente und VariantenmanagementPlot, Druck, grafische ÜberschreibungenRealistische Bilder, Animationen, SonnenstudienÜbersichten über Menüs, Paletten und SymbolleistenPraxisbeispiel: EinfamilienhausÜbungsfragen mit Antworten Autoreninfo:Detlef Ridder hat langjährige Erfahrung im Bereich CAD und bereits zahlreiche Bücher zu AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit und Archicad veröffentlicht.
