Object Management in Archicad: import, build, and control your objects and libraries

Most of the day you spend placing objects, hunting for ones that fit, and untangling a library that has grown out of hand. This course puts you back in control. You learn to import objects in any format, build the ones that do not exist, make them read correctly in plan and in 3D, and keep your library clean. Live and instructor-led, taught by Nordic BIM Group specialists on the current Archicad version. Assumes you know the Archicad basics.

Who it's for

One course for people who already know Archicad and want objects and libraries to work for them, not against them. It assumes you have the basics, so if you are brand new to Archicad, start with Archicad Fundamentals. Pick the situation that sounds like you.

The object you need does not exist

You search the catalogue, find nothing that fits, and make do with something close. You learn to build simple objects and components of your own with Archicad's standard tools, custom door leaves, window panels, and cabinet fronts included.

Imported objects will not come in cleanly

You download an object and it arrives broken, misplaced, or in a format Archicad does not like. You learn which formats work best, and how to import, clean up, edit, and save objects in Archicad format, ready for the project.

Imported objects look wrong on the plan

An imported object looks right in 3D but wrong on the drawing. You learn to adjust the plan symbol of imported objects, so the plan shows what it should.

Your office library is a slow, messy sprawl

Missing parts, duplicates, and a library so large that projects crawl on open. Book a place, or talk to an advisor about training the team and setting up one clean, shared office library everyone builds from.

What you'll learn

By the end you can bring in any object, build the ones you cannot find, and run a library you trust. Here is the scope.

Objects come from many places and many formats, and the wrong choice causes most import trouble. You learn what Archicad can import and how, from single objects to whole supplier libraries, so content lands clean and sits where you expect it. This is where the daily frustration of broken downloads goes away.
