28-1. DWG Export and Import Basics

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we explore the basics of exporting drawings from your project as DWG files, and simple methods for importing DWG files into ArchiCAD.

28-2. DWG Translation Settings

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we go deeper into the settings available for customizing the import and export of DWG files.

28-3. More DWG Translation Options, XRef Placement and Management

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we explore more DWG translation options, as well as how to place and manage XRefs (DWG files brought in as external reference drawings).

28-4. DWG Import Options and Workflow: External Drawings, XRefs, Worksheets, Layouts

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we compare several different methods and options for working with imported DWG files, including placing them as external drawings, using XRefs, and merging them into an ArchiCAD project file.

28-5. How to Trace 2D Drawings to Quickly Create a 3D Model

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we look at how to bring in 2D drawings (including DWG or PDF) to use as backgrounds for tracing to make it fast and easy to build up a 3D model.

28-6. Project Reviewer

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we look at Project Reviewer, a little-used communication and markup tool that has been available in ArchiCAD since version 7.

28-7. BIMx – BIM Explorer

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we look at BIMx, or BIM Explorer, a tool that allows you to share a navigable 3D model with clients and consultants.

28-8. BIMx Docs | BIMx Pro

In this ArchiCAD training lesson we look at BIMx Docs, the advanced version of the free BIMx 3D model format that integrates 2D documentation (construction drawings on your layout sheets) in a delightful, intuitive and visually appealing manner.
