evening all.. some questions

[Anonymous]

Hiya, sorry to keep asking questions, but my teachers no crap all about archicad, so this forum is my mentor! lol...

here goes:

I have a basement section - I want to show this with a 3d section, is it best to create a basement using a series of slabs, or to use the mesh tool? - Does anyone have any good tutorials for the mesh tool? I am struggling to make the basement appear to sit in the landscape.

Our task for the week is to copy 2d plans and sections to create 3d CAD models, I am the only one using archicad. Then we have to present it.

It seems that one of the sections shows a window that "wraps" from the wall onto the roof continously. How do I insert windows into the roof that "join" onto the wall windows?


I will scan the plans and sections, then post them on here, to assist my queries.

Here are some photographs of the building i have to model:

I want to shoot all the autocadders down in the lecture.


thanks all

Check the Tips and Trick section for Mesh-related stuff.
Also http://www.archicadwiki.com is worth looking into.
