Im sorry, it was so stupid of me, i totally forgot about your previous explanation. The dedication of modelling all the details is just amazing. Thanks again for sharing!
Hi Jared, Great tutorial again - thanks. I haven't learnt about 3D documents so this is new. I've just been doing sketch renders if I've needed a quick 3d image. Just wondering what's the main difference - and do you use these for different purposes? i.e. when would you use a 3D document and when would you use a render? The 3D document seems beneficial in that when I render often the colours don't turn out the way I see them in the 3d window and I have to fiddle around changing settings. Thanks, Fleur
One of the major differences between the two routes - Sketch Render or 3D Document is that the 3D Document creates a vector based image. Elements can be snapped to, dimensioned, etc. Text can be added, fills and 2D can be overlaid to add missing details, highlight elements, etc. Also it can be exported and/or exploded and tweaked for various reasons. Also the 3D document regenerates faster. The benefit of the sketch render is that it can have so much more variety. Here's an old post that talks about why i made the switch: www.shoegnome.com/2011/01/19/black-white-hidden-line-renderingsv1/
I don't. The best advice: save favorites of everything you use regularly so that the lineweights are correct. And also simplify your lineweights so that it's easy to update any element. Also for things that are fairly uniform (furniture for instance), use Graphic Overrides to control lineweights and colors: blog.graphisoftus.com/archicad-education/tips-and-tricks/order-of-operations-managing-graphic-override-combinations blog.graphisoftus.com/archicad-education/tips-and-tricks/pen-sets-part-nine-graphic-overrides
Hi perhaps someone could help: If I create 3D document from 3D view the document generated is wireframe of surface, without any fills. and any setting cant bring them in? (Basicacly it looks like Jared´s result. The problem is, that i want the surfaces to have color and nothing seem to control them. they bassicaly dont appera in the view.)
To aad some information: project in question was started in 15 a carried trough 16 to 17, it failed to create 3D document correctly in both 16 and 17. If I however tried to create 3D document in new project it created it correctly. So there must be some setting or check box I left unchecked...
Crystal Sheena yes. You can do a Save As and select JPG as the file type. But for a cleaner, higher resolution image, I suggest saving as a PDF, then turning the PDF into whatever resolution JPG you want.
That is what l was looking for a quite long time and it is amazing thanks a lot
Super helpful video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, this was very helpful.
thank you man!!!
Thank you for the demonstration. The model looks amazing. Did you use a plug-in for the timber cladding?
Thanks again!
Absolutely no plugins. All out of the box. The siding was done this way:

Thanks again for sharing!
My pleasure. We had an especially demanding client for this project. It was fun.
thank you..
ty for all the tips, but please use the 2 point perspective

Shoegnome Thanks - the blog and your reply have answered perfectly what I wanted to know. I think you've convinced me to make the switch also.
Cheers

cool.
Hey man long time no hear, Do you have any tutorials on how to use BIMobjects especially with the lineweights
I don't. The best advice: save favorites of everything you use regularly so that the lineweights are correct. And also simplify your lineweights so that it's easy to update any element.
Also for things that are fairly uniform (furniture for instance), use Graphic Overrides to control lineweights and colors:

Hi! there's some way to make to look your 3d view, your 3d window with your model like in revit, in black and white, and shadows?
There are a few ways to do it. This is actually the topic of my most recent video: www.shoegnome.com/2014/03/25/monochromatic-models-in-archicad/

Ok it turned out that all I have to do was to turn archicad off and on again :)
can we save this in jpg?
Crystal Sheena yes. You can do a Save As and select JPG as the file type. But for a cleaner, higher resolution image, I suggest saving as a PDF, then turning the PDF into whatever resolution JPG you want.
Shoegnome i just gt it. thank you so much. :)
how?
