Floor Plan Cut Plane (Global Setting)

3D construction elements on the Floor Plan (Walls, Curtain Walls, Columns, Beams and Roofs) are displayed as if they were cut horizontally along a theoretical plane; this is the Floor Plan Cut Plane. The default height of the Cut Plane, measured from the base of the current story, depends on ...

Irradiance Cache (Global Illumination)

  A new Irradiance Cache method was introduced as of ARCHICAD 20. This method bears the following advantages compared to other methods: •Small details such as contact shadows - i.e., those produced where objects meet, at corner edges, etc. - are of much higher quality (with the ...

Shader Effects (Cineware Surfaces)

This group of shaders is found in the Shader Effects sub-menu of the Surface channel’s Texture pop-up:   These shaders are listed below with a brief explanation of their parameters. Ambient Occlusion (Cineware Surface Channel) ChanLum, Subsurface Scattering, Backlight ...

About GDL Object Subtypes

All GDL Objects have a subtype, organized in a tree hierarchy that generally corresponds to the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) entity structure. Note: IFC stands for Industry Foundation Classes. To read more about IFC, see Working with IFC, or download the GRAPHISOFT IFC Reference Guide ...
