Fundamentals of Illustration

Learn about the difference purposes of architectural illustration and see how Archicad can help you communicate a specific message while being aesthetically appealing.

Viewpoint

In this module, you will learn how to create and manage various source viewpoints in Archicad, including vector and raster images. You’ll explore setting up massing, axonometric, interior elevation, and plan views, and saving them for use in your projects.

Shading

In this module, you'll learn how to apply and control shading and shadows in Archicad's views, adjusting sunlight and 3D style settings for various effects. You'll also explore how different engines—Vectorial and Hardware Acceleration—handle light sources and shading differently.

Colouring

In this module, you will learn how to control colors and textures in Archicad. You'll explore three distinct coloring techniques: using 3D styles, applying graphic overrides, and direct coloring on the layout, to enhance your models and illustrations.

Contours

In this module, you will learn how to work with contours in Archicad. You’ll explore how different engines affect line quality and resolution, and practice creating massing views to control contour styles and line weights.

Drafting

In this module, you will learn how to enhance your layouts using drafting elements like lines, fills, objects, text, and labels. You'll also explore techniques for massing drafting, including creating depth and shadows with different shapes and colors, and adding annotations to your designs.

Output

In this module, you'll learn how to export your final images from Archicad. Key considerations include resolution, maximum image size, and the white pad added around the final image.

Quiz

Finishing the quiz referring to the previously seen content before proceeding to the subsequent modules is advisable.
