What is the course about?
This course will introduce ArchiCAD, a Building Information Modelling software widely used by Architects to design, document and deliver accurate Architectural outcomes.
We will cover the full suite of Architectural modelling tools required to accurately model buildings and apply these skills through modelling an architectural folly. We will also cover the principles of using pens, surfaces, and other object settings which are critical in elevating the representation of the model.
