Elements of the Virtual Building

This section of the ARCHICAD Reference Guide describes each of the ARCHICAD construction elements found in the ARCHICAD Toolbox: their parameters, characteristics and variations, and how they work with each other.

This chapter also describes Parametric Objects, which are placed as library parts from your loaded or project-embedded libraries, and Openings, which provide an easy-to-use way to handle engineering breakthroughs in certain elements.
