ARCHICAD is a professional building information modeling (BIM) software solution complying with all digital-delivery requirements, offering an intuitive design environment, accurate building information. It provides dedicated solutions for handling all common aspects of engineering and aesthetics at the time of the built environment design process— interiors, buildings, urban areas, etc.

ArchiCAD is an integrated user interface which includes 2D and 3D drafting, visualization and other functions for designers, planners and architects. It also provides additional data exchange possibilities with other software applications. ArchiCAD brings in a complete ecosystem of solutions to ease the finding, creation, and sharing of custom BIM Components.

This course is designed to help you to be familiar with the definition of BIM and what BIM means in the context of an architectural software. At the end of this lesson you will be able to create detailed & accurate 2D drawings and 3D representations and renderings and basic documentation of your ARCHICAD project.
