The created objects will work in every Archicad version with or without PARAM-O. Some of the nodes are basic shapes such as block, sphere, cylinder, wedge, and so on. To create a simple block object, for example, simply double-click or drag and drop the Block node from the editor.
Beside above, can I import AutoCAD to ARCHICAD? Merge AutoCAD drawings with your ARCHICAD Project file You can merge DWG files into the currently open ARCHICAD Project with all the existing DWG Layers. You can decide which content (Model Space or Paper Space) of the DWG file should be merged.
People ask also, is AutoCAD harder than ARCHICAD? While AutoCAD may be easy to use and understand the program, ArchiCAD requires more time to understand because of too many option settings. AutoCAD can generally be called an electronic drawing board based on 2d representation but can also create 3D geometry. While ArchiCAD is for creating virtual electronic buildings.
Similarly, how do I open an AutoCAD 3D file in ARCHICAD?
- Go to File Menu > Interoperability > Merge…
- Select a DWG file to open, then select “Merge content of Model Space into current View” want to import.
Amazingly, how do I create a library object in ArchiCAD?

How do you explode a block in ArchiCAD?
Explode into Current View. Choosing Edit > Reshape > Explode into Current View will turn selected elements (Floor Plan and other 2D windows only) into 2D drawing primitives (Lines without arrowheads, Circles, Arcs, Elliptic arcs, Splines, unframed Fills, single-line Texts).
How do I export from DWG to ARCHICAD?
Save as DWG: You can save a project view or layout from ARCHICAD to DXF and DWG formats. To save only one part of the view, use the Marquee to delimit the project and select Save As command. When Save Plan dialog is displayed, choose DXF or DWG format.
How do I import 3D DXF into ARCHICAD?
- Go to File > Libraries and Objects > Import Blocks from DXF/DWG.
- Select the DWG file to import and click Open.
- The newly created object can now be found in the Embedded Library.
- Place the object to verify how it looks.
How do you scale in ARCHICAD?
Resize (Enlarge or Reduce) Elements. The Edit > Reshape > Resize command lets you enlarge or reduce selected elements using numeric or graphical input.
Is ArchiCAD or Revit better?
Winner: Revit. When it comes to massing, Revit can produce complex shapes and models, while ArchiCAD is a little simpler, so it tends to have less capability. When it comes to Nesting, Revit’s complexity allows a user to create unique materials and objects to suit their specific needs.
Is ArchiCAD hard to learn?
ArchiCAD is not the easiest software, but it is much more user-friendly and accessible than e.g. AutoCAD. However, you try to do quite complex things (create a 3D model of a building) from the very beginning in ArchiCAD, while in a first AutoCAD course you usually draw a few 2D lines… which obviously is easier to do.
Which is better ArchiCAD or SketchUp?
Reviewers felt that Archicad meets the needs of their business better than SketchUp. When comparing quality of ongoing product support, reviewers felt that Archicad is the preferred option. For feature updates and roadmaps, our reviewers preferred the direction of Archicad over SketchUp.
Can DWGS be 3D?
Both DWG and STL are file formats that can be used to create 3D objects. STL, known originally as “stereolithography”, is a file format for 3D objects.
How do I open a 3D DWG file?
Select File > Libraries and Objects > Open Object. In the appearing dialog browse for the DWG file and open it. Clicking on “Settings…” button you can check the DXF-DWG Translator Settings which will be used during the DWG import. (Only the options used in 3D DWG conversion are listed.)
