Key Summary
About: Study ArchiCAD Level 1 to learn Building Information Modeling (BIM) basics for architects. The programme covers programme principles and configuration, core modeling tools (walls, columns, beams, roofs, stairs, windows, doors, skylights, roof truss generator, library elements, terrain), correct architectural object modeling, and inter-industry cooperation via model filtering and dedicated views. You'll build a BIM model and produce construction documentation.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles such as BIM modeller, BIM coordinator, architectural technician, CAD/BIM drafter, junior architect, visualization specialist. These roles involve digital modeling, BIM authoring, documentation, project coordination, and multidisciplinary collaboration with MEP and structural teams construction management.
Embark on your architectural journey with ArchiCAD Level 1, delving into Building Information Modeling (BIM) basics tailored for architects. Learn essential tools and workflows to efficiently design, document, and visualize architectural projects with precision and clarity.
The program includes subjects such as:
- introduction and discussion of the principles of working with the program, basic configuration,
- basic tools for creating a BIM model (wall, column, beam, ceiling, roof, stairs, window and door joinery, skylights, roof truss generator, library elements, terrain - basics),
- basics of correct modeling of architectural objects in the context of BIM,
- basics of inter-industry cooperation using the BIM model (filtering the model, preparing dedicated views for individual industries.
As part of the course, students will learn how to independently use the ArchiCAD program from scratch, how to create a BIM model in terms of complete construction documentation and subsequent industry coordination.
The indicated issues are the basis for conducting classes. In the event of student activity, the instructor may correct the scope of issues discussed during classes, as long as it does not affect the main topic and format of the course or the entire training cycle.
