Building the terrain manually takes hours. Modelling the surrounding buildings takes more. Placing every tree, one by one, takes more again. The Norkart add-on collapses that work into a purchase on Norkart e-torg and a few clicks in Archicad. The terrain mesh, the buildings, the trees, and the orthophoto land in the file as Archicad objects, with the right coordinates already in place.
Hours of work to turn raw elevation data into a usable terrain mesh. Norkart delivers a ready 3D terrain per project, georeferenced and ready to design on.
Three packages cover most projects: Archicad 2D basiskart, Archicad 3D-modell, and Arkitekt pluss. Choose the area on the map, pay Norkart, the data is ready to download.
Open the Norkart menu, select the package you just bought, confirm the import. The add-on handles the format conversion, the layer placement, and the project coordinates.
Terrain mesh, orthophoto, property boundaries, vegetation, and neighbouring buildings sit in your Archicad file. World coordinates are already set. No second tool, no separate viewer.
Ready 3D terrain mesh and FKB base map from Norkart, placed in your Archicad file. No manual terrain modelling. No format wrangling.
Surrounding buildings and individual trees come in as parametric Archicad objects, not flat mesh. Trees carry species, size, and Level of Detail controlled through Model View Options. In both Standard and Arkitekt pluss.
Orthophoto draped automatically on the terrain mesh as a surface. Full-resolution orthophoto comes with Arkitekt pluss; the Standard package ships with a low-resolution version, upgradable.
Latitude and longitude on the Project Location. Easting and Northing on the Survey Point. CRS per IFC4. Sun and shadow analysis and IFC export carry the right world coordinates from the start.
The add-on is for design teams working on Norwegian land. Architects designing on real terrain. BIM coordinators handling municipal data and project coordinates. House builders showing the home on the plot to customers and authorities. Multi-discipline practices that want the site and the building in one Archicad file.
If your work touches FKB or SOSI data, property boundaries from the kommune, or an IFC export that has to carry the right CRS for Statsbygg or e-byggesøk, the workflow fits inside Archicad without a separate GIS step.
The Norkart add-on is Nordic BIM Group own development, built with Norkart for Norwegian Archicad customers. Norkart sells the map data through e-torg. Nordic BIM Group developed the bridge that brings that data into Archicad as a native part of the design workflow.
The add-on lives in the Archicad menu. Buildings and trees arrive as parametric Archicad objects, not flat mesh. Coordinates set automatically. IFC and DWG exports carry the right CRS for Statsbygg and e-byggesøk. Nordic BIM Group is the exclusive Archicad partner across the Nordics, which means one local team handles the Archicad licence, the add-on, and the training around it.
Nordic BIM Group walks the team through the first Norkart import on a real project area. Coordinates, layers, packages, and project standards covered in one session.
Short Norwegian video tutorials walk through import settings and the standard and Arkitekt pluss packages. In-language training on the full workflow runs in-person, online, or on demand. Watch the tutorials.
When an import behaves unexpectedly, Norwegian-speaking Nordic BIM Group support picks up. Map-data questions route back to Norkart through the same line.
