Gravity in 3d explore mode

Not applicable
Hello!

I have ArchiCAD 20.

1. My first question is the following:

Is it possible in 3D exploration mode that I walk on the floors? What I mean is like in a video game, so I don't have to press the PageUp key everytime I want to climb up a stairway. Gravity basically.

2 Second question:

Is it possible to turn on a collision detection, so the program only let me go through doors, but not through solid walls and other objects.

3. Third question:

Is there a way to operate basic objects. For example opening doors or windows in a simple manner before entering a room.

4. Fourth question:

If the original program doesn't have these features what are the best plugins out there (if they exist) that can serve these purposes.

Thank you very much for any answer.

This happens in BIMx models when not in "fly" mode.

Also in BIMx models

If you set up and render a walk-thru of your model some objects (doors for example) have parameters to set to animate them.

Check out BIMx, which is integrated within Archicad. I'm not sure of the process to publish a BIMx file in AC20 as I haven't done it yet (very different from AC19) but there is bound to be plenty of info in the help files and on You Tube tutorials.
