Dear Community Members,
Every month, we look at the questions and challenges you’ve faced, and we create and update articles that help you find solutions faster and work more efficiently.
Here are the most useful articles from September that we recommend reading.
What you asked and what we answered
The new semester has started, so we put together two articles for students and educators:
- Online Trainings for Students and Educators – FAQ — This article explains who can access the Archicad online trainings for students and educators, how to enroll and move through the Learn Program, and what to check if you have an educational license but still can’t view a course.
- Archicad 28 & 29 EDU installation for educational institutions — This guide walks you through single-seat and unattended EDU installations of Archicad 28 and 29. It also covers the minimum required updates and the license expiry notes your institution should know about.
This article will help you with your documentation:
- How do you list building materials in wall composites? — This article shows you how to set up a components schedule, so that each building material in a wall composite gets its own row instead of the wall being listed as one item.
The following article helps you to stay up to date on our services:
- Stay informed: Follow our new “Service Alerts and Maintenance” section — This article introduces a new Support Site section that brings together updates on service outages and planned maintenance, including license-provider and SaaS-related services. Click Follow on the section page to get an email when a new alert or maintenance notice is published, so you can plan ahead.
Tips from Community members and our experts
Our Community members regularly share practical insights and solutions. This month’s highlight is:
- Tip of the Month: Modeling organic floor patterns — In this Tip of the Month article from the Portuguese Community, you learn how to model a decorative, organic stone floor. The workflow uses 2D outlines, custom Building Materials and thin slabs, so you can show the floor in 3D and get exact areas from an Interactive Schedule. For repeating patterns, the article also shows a Curtain Wall alternative.
It is based on your peer’s experiences. If you are looking to improve your daily workflow and enjoy learning from fellow professionals, the Tip of the Month series is for you.
