A free eLearning course on the Solibri Connection add-on for Archicad. Check your model's properties and constructability in real time. The add-on connects Archicad and Solibri and synchronises and saves your changes between the two programs without any hassle. Draw, design, check, and adjust in one place. The add-on is free to download. It needs a Solibri Advanced licence to run.
Who it's for
The course suits anyone who designs in Archicad and wants to catch model problems as they work. You need Archicad and a Solibri Advanced licence for the add-on to run.
Architects
Check your own models as you design them. Find the data gaps and constructability problems yourself, early, instead of hearing about them later from someone else on the project.
BIM and CAD coordinators
You answer for model quality across the disciplines. Run checks from inside Archicad and catch the issues before a model leaves your hands, so less comes back to you afterwards.
Consulting engineers
Your discipline model has to fit the rest of the building. Check it against the rules in real time and resolve the clashes while you are still in Archicad, before they reach the site.
Solibri users
You already check models in Solibri. The add-on links Archicad straight to it, so you skip the export and re-import round trip and check as you go.
What you'll learn
By the end of the course you can set up the add-on and check your Archicad models on your own. Here is what that covers.
Start by installing the add-on and connecting Archicad to your Solibri Advanced licence. You learn what the add-on does, how it talks to Solibri, and how to get it running on your own machine, so you are ready to check a real model by the end of this first step. The add-on is free; the Solibri Advanced licence behind it is what makes the checking work.
Run a check on your model without leaving Archicad. You learn to send the model to Solibri, run it against a set of rules, and bring the results back into your Archicad view, so the problems show up exactly where you are working.
Read what the check finds and act on it straight away. You learn to spot the issues that matter, the clashes, the missing data, the constructability problems, and fix them in the model on the spot, with your changes synchronised and saved between Archicad and Solibri.
Make checking part of how you design, not a separate job at the end. You learn to draw, check, adjust, and check again in one flow, so model quality keeps up with the work instead of waiting for a handover.
