Getting Started with LAND4. Your first landscape model in Archicad

This free, self-paced course gets you from a fresh LAND4 install to real work in your first Archicad project. You set up the add-on, learn your way around the tools, bring surveyor map data into Archicad, work with new and existing terrain, and create new surfaces. Delivered as eLearning, taken at your own pace. It assumes you already work in Archicad and have LAND4, bought or on a trial.

Who it's for

One course for Archicad users taking their first steps with LAND4. It assumes you have the Archicad basics, so if you are new to Archicad, start with Archicad Fundamentals. You also need LAND4, bought or on a trial; if you do not have it yet, see the product first. Pick the situation that sounds like you.

What you'll learn

By the end you can install LAND4, move around its tools with confidence, bring in surveyor map data, work with new and existing terrain, and create new surfaces, all in your Archicad project. Here is the scope.

The course starts where you do, with a fresh add-on. You learn how to acquire LAND4 and install it into Archicad, check it is set up correctly, and get to the point where you can open a project and start working. No prior LAND4 experience assumed.
