Archicad Documentation

This skill covers drawing and document production in Archicad, including saved views, annotation strategy, layout management, drawing updates, schedules, details, and publishing.


Section 1: Documentation Model

1.1 Documentation Flow

text
Model Viewpoint -> Saved View -> Layout Drawing -> Publisher Output
StepArchicad AreaKey Settings
Model viewpointProject MapStory, section, elevation, detail, 3D, schedule
Saved viewView MapScale, layer combination, pen set, graphic override
Layout drawingLayout BookSheet size, title block, drawing title, crop, numbering
OutputPublisher SetsFile format, folder structure, naming, issue package

Section 2: Drawing Production

2.1 View Discipline

  • Create formal output only from saved views, not directly from raw project map viewpoints.
  • Use separate saved views for different scales or graphic purposes.
  • Keep view names readable and stable, because layout drawings depend on them.
  • Use graphic overrides intentionally for presentation, permit, and construction sets.

2.2 Annotation Strategy

Annotation TypeRecommended Use
DimensionsUse project standards and avoid manual overrides
LabelsConnect to element information when possible
Text notesUse for drawing-specific explanation
ZonesUse for room names, numbers, areas, and schedules
MarkersKeep section, elevation, detail, and worksheet references coordinated

Section 3: Layouts And Publishing

3.1 Layout Checklist

  • Drawing title matches the layout index.
  • Drawing scale is visible and correct.
  • Crops do not hide relevant tags, dimensions, or markers.
  • Title block fields are populated from project info when possible.
  • Revision and issue data match the transmittal.

3.2 Publisher Sets

OutputUse
PDFFormal drawing issue and review
DWGConsultant or contractor exchange
BIMxModel review and client communication
ImagePresentation and quick review
IFCBIM coordination, not drawing documentation

Section 4: QA Before Issue

  • Update all placed drawings.
  • Check missing external references and linked drawings.
  • Confirm sheet order and numbering.
  • Review line weights in a real PDF export.
  • Open exported DWG in a separate viewer when DWG exchange is required.
  • Confirm issue date, revision ID, and file naming before transmission.
