Two Day Basic ArchiCAD Course Description
The course starts with a 3 hour overview of the many capabilities of ArchiCAD, then each seminar attendee will create their own building project along with the instructor. We introduce a conceptual technique, show you how it works, and several examples of how it is used in creating various types of drawings or models. Then each attendee makes use of that technique in their own project, and, finally, together we go over a review to cover why and how various approaches work, then go on to the next conceptual technique.
