A Building Material is a “super attribute”, a combination of multiple attributes having defined properties. All model elements use ...

Use this feature to split an ARCHICAD model into multiple PLN files, which can act as Hotlink Modules. For example, you can save the building facade as a separate file from the rest of the building, or save two wings of the building in separate files. Each separate PLN file retains the full ...

•For construction elements (Wall / Slab/ Beam/ Column / Roof / Shell / Morph / Mesh): Cut fills are assigned via the Building Material attribute. The construction element will use the cut fill defined for the assigned Building Material. See Building Materials. •For GDL-based ...

Previous ARCHICAD versions have provided custom classification and property assignment to any construction element or zone in an ARCHICAD model. In ARCHICAD 23, we have extended these capabilities to the Building Material: the most important attribute for building components. Custom ...
