Book Description

July 1, 2000
ArchiCAD fully exemplifies the concept of the 'Virtual Building' - elevate the building in three dimensions; view it in 3D; then extract 2D plans, sections, elevations and factual data about the building. The architect is able to maintain a comprehensive awarenesss of the whole design task.

Buildings are made of objects; they also contain objects. Object Making with ArchiCAD is designed to help users get more enjoyment and productivity from ArchiCAD.

In this volume, ArchiCAD users have an easy-to-follow route that leads from tool using to object making with Graphisoft's Geometric Description Language (GDL). This opens up a new world of opportunity for each user as they find practical uses for GDL and realize that it is easier than they thought. Before you know it, you, too, will be able to tackle GDL.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book on Objects, August 29, 2000

This review is from: Object Making with ArchiCAD: GDL for Beginners (Paperback)
This is a great book to learn the basics of parametric objects in ArchiCAD. You can benefit from it whether you are new to the software or just never put yourself to the creation of objects. The true power of 3D object oriented CAD can only be enjoyed if you master the simple steps outlined in this manual.

As one that has participated in the specification and programming of the language I have enjoyed DNC's style and light discussion of a serious topic. Try it and you'll see that you are capable to define 3D elements in no time.
