A. You should seriously consider checking out ArchiCAD's Help menu.. To do what you are asking, you simply model one side of the roof and use the mirror command (using the ridge as your reference) to produce the second roof.. you now have yourself a double pitched roof. Have a good day.

What is the equivalent of "b" or block command (AutoCad) in ArchiCad?
Q. "Group" is different so it is not the answer. I want to make an instance of one object & multiply it, & if I want to edit all the clones, I would just edit one & all the others will be like the original so my work would be finished faster. "b" is the command in Autocad, but I dont know the command in ArchiCad. Please answer this specifically. I just need the equivalent command of "b" in Archicad. thnx!

A. I have yet to attempt to learn autocad from a 3rd party software. I have been using the program for 12 years as I am an intern architect, and would advise you to pick up a class at a local community college. It isn't the easiest program to use, not because it was designed badly, rather that it can do just about anything you want it to.

Asked by syed s - Mon Mar 31 11:56:22 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Since you said "certificate" I'm assuming you don't have an actual college degree...Bachelors, Masters, etc You can't get an position as civil engineer with anything less than a BS degree and at least 5 yrs related experience. I have an Advanced Honors Associates Degree in CAD technology. These days noone will hire me into any drafting position, even with 6 yrs previous work experience in the field because they're looking for those who have a BS degree. Without that degree your best bet is to look for entry level, no experience positions which are few in number, especially for architecture and civil.

A. Depends on what line of work you are in, and what program your employer uses. Of course, if you are the principal, and need to choose one or the other, then you are asking the wrong question. For the latter: AutoCAD is a generic CAD, ArchiCAD is a dedicated architectural BIM/VBM program.
