I managed to produce a sketch model in Sketchup, and was hoping that converting it to Archicad or Autocad would be easy... It probably is easy, but since I am a beginner in both Autocad and Arch, I cant seem to get things where I want them. Most of all, I have a hard time editing measurments and details.<BR /> <BR /> The things I need to produce for this project for this friday:<BR /> 1 1:50 Floorplan incl surrounding environment to fit on an A3<BR /> 2 1:50 Sections incl surrounding environment to fit on an A3<BR /> Sitational plan 1:1000<BR /> 1:50 model<BR /> <BR /> I have no trouble producing these things in a half-assed way (sketchup layout + photoshop and whatnot), but I want to learn to do it right straight away. With the time limit (yeah, I know, I will be better prepared next time <E><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></E>) I see two choices:<BR /> <BR /> 1. Do it the half-assed way. Be done, but feel like a cheater<BR /> 2. Do it right. Be done and learn essential skills.<BR /> <BR /> Is no 2 a realistic option, and if so, is there anyone that would be interested in spending some time answering some questions and giving som advice about modeling? <BR /> Any and all advice is welcome!<BR /> Thanks<BR /> <BR /> Martin</R></DIV><BR /><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Untitled-1.jpg" style="width: 728px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9582i9D452608D7BD8677/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Untitled-1.jpg" alt="Untitled-1.jpg" /></span> Fri, 26 May 2023 14:37:33 GMT Martin Engdahl 2023-05-26T14:37:33Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/In-a-pinch-need-advice-on-best-course-of-action/m-p/213150#M58517 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><R>Hey all!<BR /> I am a first year architecture student, and at the moment I am working on a project that involves drawing a cabin, producing plans and sections, and some other things.
