In today’s tip, we’ll be looking at how to take existing drawings to use them as a reference for tracing and turning the drawings into a 3D model in ARCHICAD very, very quickly and easily. Hello, this is Eric Bobrow of Bobrow Consulting Group, creator of the ARCHICAD MasterTemplate, with another ARCHICAD video tip. The second time it took about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, and then I started over and recorded the process the third time in 90 minutes from start to finish.ĪRCHICAD Tutorial – How to Trace 2D Drawings to Quickly Create a 3D ARCHICAD Model To be frank, the first time I did this it took between 3 and 4 hours, because I had to become familiar with the project and how the DWGs were organized. This excerpted version leaves out some less essential details as well as much of the repetitive drawing and data entry. This entire process was done in 90 minutes! This 44 minute video is condensed from the original recording made in "real time" that shows every step along the way.

Review the 3D model, elevations and plans, which now correspond beautifully to the original drawings.

Adjust some of the windows and doors to have arched tops with bricks above.Trim walls to the roofs to clean up the model.Use these adjusted settings to create the rest of the roof system on the lower level, then repeat the process for the upper roofs.

Coordinate the height and thickness of the roof in each elevation.Draw the first roof piece on plan by tracing over the roof outline from the original drawing.Repeat for the doors, first on plan, then in elevation.Adjust window heights, types and glazing patterns to match the original drawings.

Open each of the Elevation viewpoints and correspond the DWG Worksheets for trace reference.

Place windows in the walls using the plan DWGs as references for location and width.

Set up the wall tool for the proper thickness and height, then trace the outline of the building.

Move the original MasterTemplate base slabs, elevation and section markers, and gridlines to the vicinity of the traced DWG.

Use Virtual Trace to reference the ground floor DWG as a background while working on the ground floor plan.

Set up the Story Levels to correspond to the project heights.

Import the DWG files into separate Worksheets and coordinate their origin points.
