ArchiCAD Problem Solver series:

These series of videos are aimed at providing answers and solutions to many phenomenon and issues users may have. Some of these issues may be simpler, some of the more complex. On the ArchiCAD-Talk Forum you may see these kinds of question asked over and over.

Topics include: Missing library parts and library part error messages (when generating 3D, there is an error message in a library part), attribute problems (missing fills, linetypes, material etc.), Project in plan, 3D and in Section/Elevation Views does not look as intended, where is the correct setting to achieve the desired result (e.g. I see nothing in 3D, my Walls do not appear on the Floor Plan the way I intended, I cannot turn vectorial hatching and transparency on and off in Section), My files sizes are bloating up, My 3D generation is very slow and takes a lot of time, I place a Door/Window in a Wall and it does not appear but it is there in 3D, 3D Window does not generate a problematic elemetn but I cannot find it, I cannot get my Walls in the Floor Plan to intersect properly, etc. etc.

ArchiCAD Concepts for Former AutoCAD Users series:

Many current ArchiCAD Users are coming from and AutoCAD background. This may cause some difficulty in learning the program as many identical or similar things are called differently and many things are achieved differently in the two programs. A former AutoCAD may become frustrated that this program does not do thing he/she used to do in AutoCAD.

This series of videos tries to locate and explain the terminology difference between the two programs and also the different "philosophy" behind them, pointing out how various things are done in ArchiCAD as opposed to how they were achieve in AutoCAD. For example, what AutoCAD users know as Model Space and Paper Space have their equivalent in ArchiCAD: they are the Model Viewpoints and the Layouts. Efforts are made to explain that: if you did something in AutoCAD that was called this way, then in ArchiCAD it is called that way and this is how you can achieve the same.
