This book was covered about how to draw and modeling terrain with ArchiCad. Procedures: Merging the DWG File: ArchiCAD can open DWG files directly, attach them as “XREFs”, or “Merge” them into an existing project or template. Referencing the DWG (known as “XREFing”) brings in a copy of the DWG into the ArchiCAD file. This copy of the data resides in the PLN file but is linked to the original DWG. Use the following steps to Merge a DWG directly into ArchiCAD : Start by opening your own template file and setting the scale to something appropriate for the size of the site. When choosing a scale, consider the size of the paper that you want to print on and the size of the site. To start the Merge process, choose, File/Merge… Set the “Files of type:” to DWG File and browse to find the site file. After selecting the DWG and clicking on Merge, the next dialog box will prompt you to choose a Translator. Click on “Create New Translator” and name it “Civil.” Layer Management: After you have successfully imported the DWG, go to the Layer Settings Dialog Box and save a Layer Combination called “Site Import”. Next, you want to hide information that is not necessary for topography. Often, DWG topography drawings are less than ideal for creating a model in ArchiCAD. Two common issues that must be overcome have to do with breaks in the contour lines. Understanding the Mesh Tool: • For terrain, it is best to use the solid construction technique. As you add consecutive contour lines going up, the elevation height of each line is specified as a height above the Base Plane. Therefore, if you had 3 contour lines at 5 foot intervals, their heights would be specified as 5, 10, and 15 feet respectively, instead of 5, 5, and 5 feet.
