Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a dimensioned floor plan, section AA showing walls, slabs, and roof cut, front elevation of the house, and a schedule of doors, windows, and room list, all automatically generated from the BIM model. Let's start. Hello, welcome back to the Arkikad House series. Our house model is already complete with rooms and furniture. Today we are creating working drawings, dimensions, sections, elevations, and schedules. This is the power of BIM, all drawings are derived from one model, so they are always synchronized. Select the Dimension Tool with the linear method, diagonal line marker at 45 degrees, and area text of 2.5 mm.

Step 1: Dimension as horizontal

Click on the intersection points S, A, B, C, and D on the front side, then click twice and determine the position of the dimension line below the terrace. The numbers 4000, 1000, and 3000 appear immediately. Add a total dimension of 8000 below it. Using the same method, create vertical dimensions on the right side, chain S1 to S4 with distances of 4000, 3000, and 3000, then add a total dimension of 12000 including the terrace.

Step 2: Vertical dimension & total

Archicad dimensions are associative, so if a wall or S is moved, the dimension numbers will change accordingly.

. Step 3: Section Tool cut A-A

Now, the section. Select the Section Tool, name the section AA, then draw the cutting line across the house between S2 and S3, from left to right. Click again upwards to determine the viewing direction. A new section item appears in the Navigator. Click twice to open it.

Step 4: Reading the section

This is the automatically generated section AA. Brick walls, floor slabs, and roof elements that are cut by the section line appear with thick hatching. Meanwhile, elements behind such as doors, windows, and furniture appear as elevations. Elevation markers show floor 0, top of the wall at 3 meters, and the roof overhang at 5.35 meters.

Step 5: South elevation

For the front elevation, select the Elevation Tool and click in front of the house with the viewing direction to the north. Open the south elevation from the Navigator. The main door, windows, terrace columns, and roof lantern are drawn according to the model, complete with ground line.

Step 6: Door-window schedule & room schedule

Finally, the schedule. In the Navigator, open the schedule and then the door and window schedule. Archicad groups similar openings, such as 3 bedroom doors 800, 6 double windows 1200, and so on, complete with dimensions and thresholds. The room list displays the number, name, and clear area of all zones. Save with Ctrl-S.

Done!

Done. We have created associative dimensions, section AA, south elevation, as well as door and window schedules and room list directly from the model. In the last episode, we created photorealistic renderings, arranged A3 working layout, and exported PDF and IFC files.
