Trace & Reference

ARCHICAD’s built-in Trace Reference feature helps the users to visually identify any differences between two views or layouts. This tool can be used effectively to compare the architectural documentation with the consultant’s drawings. For example, create some views showing architectural elements, and other views that show the structural/mechanical elements only. If you activate an architectural view, you can then use the Trace feature to view a structural/mechanical view at the same time – differentiated by highlighting or colors, or splitting the views apart on screen.
