ARCHLine.XP Architectural Preliminary Course

Take your architecture modeling skills to the next level with the help of our online and free Architecture Modeling Course. We'll begin the course with a brief explanation of Building Information Modeling and how you can use ARCHLine.XP as a tool to create BIM model. During the course, we will create building elements such as walls with doors, windows, stairs, ramps, floors and roofs with instant 3D views. Once the model is in place, we'll add various views such as sections, elevations, site plans and photorealistic images, all created from one 3D model. Next step is to create documentation produced directly from the BIM model, such as annotated print layouts, callouts, schedules, quantity take-offs, etc. If you want to get to know the world of building information modeling, this course is for you! 1. Converting 2D to 3D Import DWG, learn UI, draw elements, add windows/doors, slabs/ramps, multi-layer walls, corner windows, and stairs. 2. Multi-Storey (Second Floor) Create second floor, draw elements with multi-layer walls, edit stairs, add windows/doors, flat roof, balconies, railings, and staircase. 3. Complex Sloped Roof Create third floor, edit slab contour, design sloped roof, define roof footprint, trim walls, add gutters, solar panels, columns, and accessories. 4. Sections & Elevations Create sections/elevations, adjust modes and shadows, add callouts, connect elements, and refresh views. 5. Dimensioning & Schedules Use dimension tools, auto-dimension walls, edit openings through dimensions, calculate room area/volume, manage partitions, tags, and schedules. 6. Layout Documents Set paper size/orientation/scale, add 3D views, create plot stamps, publish PDFs, and manage print queue. 7. In-Place Mass Model Use layer walk, model conceptual shapes, manage layers, link city mass, draw pool, and import from 3D Warehouse. 8. Visual Design Use perspective view, shadows, sun study, lighting/IES lights, snapshots, render styles, materials, and rendering.
