Using Advanced Modeling Tools for Developed Design

In this chapter, we’ll expand on the tools we already know about and learn how to apply them in developed design, requiring more advanced modeling methods. This includes the creation and manipulation of Composites for Walls, Slabs, and Roofs. We will get a grip on the way building materials define priorities to create automatic element connections.

In this chapter, the following topics are covered:

  • Creating and using advanced Composites for Walls, Slabs, and Roofs
  • The different Archicad priorities and how they influence the way elements connect
  • Creating more elaborate Roofs and adding skylights

Advanced Composite Walls, Wlabs, and Roofs

In Part 1, Chapter 6, we already got to know the importance ...
