With the help of smart filters and brand new graphical override, designers can freely change the representation of any 2D and 3D views of elements with similar properties. They can even easily store and maintain design information that was not created using CAD or BIM tools, like Excel spreadsheets.ĪRCHICAD 20 leverages well-structured information resulting in informative design visualization, which ensures enormous efficiencies throughout design and construction. Information is the most valuable part of BIM and ARCHICAD 20 helps designers to bring out the most of it!ĪRCHICAD 20 allows users to utilize their Building Information Model as the central storage place for all related information. Underneath the surface, a number of important functional improvements put the emphasis on the “I” in BIM. Each of these hotspot points is a point on the object.ARCHICAD 22 features a brand new, flat-design graphical UI that sets the new version apart from run-of-the-mill BIM tools. Bounding box: Maximum of 6 of the outermost points.8 hotspot points from among the object's points Note: The last option will create the Hotspots in 3D too! Outermost point: Top left, bottom left, top right, etc.Gravity point: The object's gravity point.Bounding box: Automatic ARCHICAD bounding box (this will also occur when no hotspots are assigned for 2D).Fit gravity point to 0 only when needed: this means that 'fit gravity point to x=0, y=0' works only when the object in the 2D top view doesn't contain the (x=0, y=0) point (the 2D origin).Fit object’s gravity point to (x=0, y=0): fit the object's gravity point to (x=0, y=0) in the top view.

Fit bottom to z=0: fit the object's bottom to z=0.Decimals: Specifies the precision of the converted object’s size.Scale: Sets how many millimeters correspond to a unit in the 3ds file.For example, when the 3ds file is converted from Lightwave, the recommended assignment is x=x, y=z, z=y.

There can be a '-' sign before x, y, or z to multiply that direction by -1.

x, y, z: The user can assign the corresponding x, y, or z directions to the original assignment (x=x, y=y, z=z).
