![]() ![]() Now, when you have certain types of views, and let’s just see what would be a good one here. For example, using appropriate settings, meaning pretty much the same layer combination, scale, and other things are common when you’re working in a clone folder. Now, when we are on a floor plan like this, this interior design plan, often we’ll have a clone folder, and the clone folder will make it easy to go up to another story. In this case, since I last showed a foundation plan, it was only structural information, and to get a true elevation, we need to be using a view of the same viewpoint, but with different settings for the structural information as well as different layers, etc. It’s got perhaps different settings, even, for what part of the model is showing. We’re going to see a much bigger difference if I use something like an elevation in the Project Map, and I say to give me the east elevation, we’re going to see that it’s not showing what we would expect because it’s got different layers. Now, that was sort of a subtle difference in terms of layers that are turned on. If I double-click here, you can see some slight differences. So, if I go to, let’s say, the foundation plan, what am I seeing? I’m seeing certain layers that may not actually match what a foundation plan should look like. In the View Map, they are views of those viewpoints. So, very quick review, as you know, when we’re in the ARCHICAD environment, we can jump around to different parts in the Project Map and in the View Map, and the very brief difference is that the Project Map are viewpoints. I’m going to refer to them to kind of keep me on track. So, in this section, we’re going to be looking at some navigation shortcuts to begin with, and I’ll just have my notes here. ![]() So, looks like we are ready to go, and you’re seeing my screen and hearing me OK. So, seeing comments from Frank and Diane, Ken, Tom, Jimmy. ![]() These are things that if you’re a veteran, you probably know a lot of these things already, but there’s always some things that surprise people when I share this, and I hope you will find the session useful. We’ll be continuing on with the Fast Track section of the course, where we’ll be going over shortcuts for navigation around the screen and between different windows and parts of your project. ![]() We took off the Monday because of the Memorial Day holiday. This is the ARCHICAD Best Practices 2020 training lesson for Wednesday, May 29 th. Ignore Zoom is a good general option in View Settings.Example: placing enlarged kitchen plan at 1/2", cropped view onto layout.Use this for navigation OR simply for placing cropped views onto a sheet.Zoom in to twice the percentage - double-click on magnifying plus iconĪnother option is to save Zooms in View Settings.Use popup menu from percent display in navigation area.On-screen Scale Percentage and Saved Zooms: Fit in Window - Command/CTRL-' or Double-Middle-Click.Previous and Next Zoom - Command/CTRL (left or right bracket).Orbit in 3D - Shift plus Middle-Button press or keyboard shortcut "O".On a Mac, the Magic Mouse doesn't have a middle mouse button one can install Magic Prefs (free just Google it) to add an option for simulating a middle mouse button on the smooth surface.Īdditional shortcuts I recommend learning: Panning is done with the hand tool the standard shortcut is pressing the middle mouse button. One can jump from story to story using palettes, menu commands or keyboard shortcuts (Command or CTRL-Up Arrow or Down Arrow)Įveryone knows that you can Zoom by rolling the Mouse wheel however there are controls available in Work Environment > Input Constraints and Guides to allow scrolling (up, down, or sideways) using the trackpad or Magic Mouse surface by holding down the Option or ALT key. This includes mouse actions and keyboard shortcuts, options in the Navigation area in the bottom left of each window, as well as methods for managing windows, tabs and screens. In this lesson we'll go over the best ways I know to gain quick access to specific parts of the project. ![]()
