7/24/2023 0 Comments Archicad for mac training![]() LYNDA.COM is FREE from the PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM but if you were to pay it is an ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET for $30 USD per month. I took Paul's REVIT courses on and they are FANTASTIC!!!!!!! THIS GUY knows how to teach a newbie. Thank you Bill Fowler!!!!! I thought I was alone but I echo EVERY WORD you have made in your thread. I agree that definition and clarification of terms is important, not only because we need to know what things mean, but sometimes the same thing is called something else in another application, or the same name is used for something else in another application.Īs far as I am concerned I will make sure the people doing training materials will know about this as I will forward this thread to them. This is why the IFC Scheme Setup Dialog is no longer available in ARCHICAD. So the IFC Scheme Setup Dialog and the Properties Dialog are not the same, but they are used to achieve similar aims. GS wants us to be able to define ARCHICAD element properties and use that instead of defining and using custom IFC Properties. ![]() The Property Manager kind of replaces that. For example, the IFC Scheme Setup Dialog used to be the place where you could define what IFC Properties are be available in your Project File, it allowed you to define custom IFC Properties and it also offered you the ability to map values to IFC Properties. Actually, some of those things is not really renaming. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about the renaming things. I actually agree with you on both counts. And day by day I’m learning the logic and structure. For this reason, I would suggest that training videos take the time to (briefly) explain what terms mean and how the tool fits logically into and architect's workflow and the AC menu structure.Īnd finally, a plea to the tireless Archicaders who produce the 2nd-tier tutorials on YouTube. Looking them up in Google is rarely helpful. Please remember that we greenhorns don't know what many of these proprietary terms mean. This might make sense to AC veterans and it might be an improvement but it's frustrating to this newbie. Note that it's buried 4 levels deep in the File menu rather than coupled with the Classification Manager under the Options menu. It took some digging on my part to learn that it’s been moved and renamed to “Options>Classification Manager”.Īlso in AC21, the “File>Interoperability>Classifications and Properties>Download BIM Content” is a very handy tool for the documentation side of our work. For example, Eric Bobrow's session on setting up IFC data in AC19 referred to “File>File Special>IFC>IFC Scheme Setup”, but it's not there in AC21. That’s not helpful when I search for a specific tool.Īrchicad seems to periodically rename tools and restructure the menus. They explain the app's structure and terminology, which is one thing I'd like to see improved in AC training.īy comparison, AC videos in LinkedIn mostly have very general names like “Archicad Essential Training” and “Learning Archicad”. They are concise, not overly verbose, thorough, and broken into 3-5 minute vids with helpful names. I used Revit training as a comparison because the video tutorials I found on Lynda and LinkedIn are extraordinary, especially those by Paul F. And again, this is only a "newbie" opinion so please set me straight if I’m missing something. After you opt in, you’ll see these resources accompanying many of the tutorials.Thanks, Laszlo. ![]() Opt-in to Eric Bobrow’s ARCHICAD Tutorials email list for additional free resources including downloadable checklists, example files and components you can import into your own projects. This also facilitates usage by people with hearing challenges or who are not fluent in English. Most tutorials include a transcript that makes it easy to scan the contents and find sections for quick access. ![]() Clear demonstrations show the processes step by step while carefully explaining the options and reasons for each important choice, setting or click. The tutorials on this website are built around the ARCHICAD Best Practices methods pioneered by Eric Bobrow, the world’s leading ARCHICAD educator with 30 years experience as a reseller, trainer and consultant.īobrow’s tutorials show the workflow and context for “getting stuff done” rather than focusing on isolated commands and dialog boxes. ![]()
