Archicad: Interiors 1. From client drawings to presentable interior

Interior work usually means an existing building and a client who wants to see options. You learn a simple, practical way to handle rehabilitation, keeping existing and new apart, and to manage design alternatives in the same file with Archicad's Design Options, so versions stay comparable instead of multiplying as copies.

Interiors live on materials. You learn to create new surfaces from your own textures, so the exact finish, fabric, or panel the design calls for reads correctly in plan, in elevations, and in 3D, instead of a near-enough substitute from the catalogue.

You learn to work the Archicad libraries efficiently and to import libraries from suppliers, so real furniture and fittings come into the project as proper objects. Building your own objects from scratch is a deeper skill with its own course; when you hit that wall, the next step is Object Management.

The drawing that sells interior work is the interior elevation. You learn to generate interior elevations directly from the model and to set up simple, fast 3D presentation views, so the presentation comes from the project itself rather than a separate late-night production line.
