These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:02.00 - [Instructor] So ArchiCad provides 2 00:00:02.00 --> 00:00:04.00 a lot of different options 3 00:00:04.00 --> 00:00:06.09 for connecting various different data types 4 00:00:06.09 --> 00:00:09.00 to the file itself. 5 00:00:09.00 --> 00:00:11.05 So let's jump into this. 6 00:00:11.05 --> 00:00:15.00 So if we go to file and we're going to look 7 00:00:15.00 --> 00:00:17.02 at interoperability. 8 00:00:17.02 --> 00:00:22.07 So interoperability provides the option to merge files. 9 00:00:22.07 --> 00:00:25.07 So if we click on this merge, 10 00:00:25.07 --> 00:00:29.04 we can merge various different file types. 11 00:00:29.04 --> 00:00:34.04 So DWGs different ArchiCad files or image files 12 00:00:34.04 --> 00:00:39.00 and that will allow us to bring in files 13 00:00:39.00 --> 00:00:44.08 and all of their relevant information into ArchiCad 14 00:00:44.08 --> 00:00:48.02 and it's a little bit different than if we were using 15 00:00:48.02 --> 00:00:54.03 the file external content and the way it's different is 16 00:00:54.03 --> 00:00:58.03 that when you merge the file using the interoperability 17 00:00:58.03 --> 00:01:02.06 and merge file, it embeds all the content into that file 18 00:01:02.06 --> 00:01:06.05 and it no longer is linked to the host file. 19 00:01:06.05 --> 00:01:10.00 And so if you're using the external content, 20 00:01:10.00 --> 00:01:13.09 you have the ability to update these files as they progress 21 00:01:13.09 --> 00:01:15.05 and change. 22 00:01:15.05 --> 00:01:21.09 So we also have IFC, so let's go to the first floor plan 23 00:01:21.09 --> 00:01:26.08 and if we go to interoperability, IFC, we have the ability 24 00:01:26.08 --> 00:01:29.06 to merge IFC models. 25 00:01:29.06 --> 00:01:34.06 We can also detect changes with IFC models. 26 00:01:34.06 --> 00:01:38.05 So if you have a consultant that is making changes 27 00:01:38.05 --> 00:01:41.00 for instance, like a structural engineer, 28 00:01:41.00 --> 00:01:47.00 you could leave a file in a folder and you could replace it 29 00:01:47.00 --> 00:01:51.04 and you could visualize the changes that they made 30 00:01:51.04 --> 00:01:53.07 as you're progressing through the project. 31 00:01:53.07 --> 00:01:56.00 You also have translators. 32 00:01:56.00 --> 00:01:59.04 So if we click on translators, these are the translators 33 00:01:59.04 --> 00:02:02.09 that come with the ArchiCad standard template. 34 00:02:02.09 --> 00:02:05.06 And within these different translators 35 00:02:05.06 --> 00:02:10.00 we have different applications that we could translate from 36 00:02:10.00 --> 00:02:13.01 and they're optimized for those different applications. 37 00:02:13.01 --> 00:02:16.04 So for instance, Tekla or Revit 38 00:02:16.04 --> 00:02:21.00 and then you also have Revit MEP and Skier. 39 00:02:21.00 --> 00:02:23.08 And so if you click on one of these 40 00:02:23.08 --> 00:02:26.05 let's just look at Tekla. 41 00:02:26.05 --> 00:02:29.06 So it gives you some options of how you want 42 00:02:29.06 --> 00:02:32.02 that information to be translated. 43 00:02:32.02 --> 00:02:34.09 So you could do construction elements only, 44 00:02:34.09 --> 00:02:36.09 you could do all 3D elements. 45 00:02:36.09 --> 00:02:39.02 So there are a variety of ways 46 00:02:39.02 --> 00:02:42.09 that you can translate IFC files. 47 00:02:42.09 --> 00:02:47.08 And so let's go back to file interoperability 48 00:02:47.08 --> 00:02:51.07 and then we also have the ability to bring in 3D S files 49 00:02:51.07 --> 00:02:54.09 and translate those into GDL, 50 00:02:54.09 --> 00:02:58.03 and GDL is the Geometric Descriptive Language 51 00:02:58.03 --> 00:03:01.00 which is the backbone of ArchiCad. 52 00:03:01.00 --> 00:03:03.06 And then we also have a blue beam connection. 53 00:03:03.06 --> 00:03:10.01 So if you are using blue beam you can have a circular kind 54 00:03:10.01 --> 00:03:13.08 of connection between a blue beam file as well as ArchiCad. 55 00:03:13.08 --> 00:03:16.06 And then you can also import point clouds. 56 00:03:16.06 --> 00:03:18.08 So let's click on this. 57 00:03:18.08 --> 00:03:20.07 So if you're working with a surveyor 58 00:03:20.07 --> 00:03:25.01 or someone who's using a laser scanning device, 59 00:03:25.01 --> 00:03:29.05 you can bring in an e57 file or an XYZ file 60 00:03:29.05 --> 00:03:34.00 and then that will translate into Archicad as a point cloud 61 00:03:34.00 --> 00:03:36.06 and let's look at a couple other ones. 62 00:03:36.06 --> 00:03:38.06 And then you can also bring in a mesh 63 00:03:38.06 --> 00:03:41.04 from a surveyor's point data. 64 00:03:41.04 --> 00:03:44.03 So this is helpful if you are working with a surveyor 65 00:03:44.03 --> 00:03:47.03 who'll provide you with certain information. 66 00:03:47.03 --> 00:03:51.01 So if you have a text file or an XYZ file, 67 00:03:51.01 --> 00:03:54.06 you can bring that in and it'll convert the information 68 00:03:54.06 --> 00:03:59.03 into a mesh or a 3D element that has a surface to it. 69 00:03:59.03 --> 00:04:02.01 So in reality there's a lot of different ways 70 00:04:02.01 --> 00:04:05.06 that you're able to bring in fast amount of information 71 00:04:05.06 --> 00:04:11.05 from different authors into ArchiCad in a seamless way. 72 00:04:11.05 --> 00:04:13.05 I think Graphisoft has done a really good job 73 00:04:13.05 --> 00:04:17.03 of trying to provide as many avenues to their users 74 00:04:17.03 --> 00:04:19.05 to bring in different information. 75 00:04:19.05 --> 00:04:22.01 So, I would recommend playing around 76 00:04:22.01 --> 00:04:26.04 with some of the different file types and bringing 'em in 77 00:04:26.04 --> 00:04:31.08 and quickly you'll see the power of how ArchiCad translates 78 00:04:31.08 --> 00:04:32.07 this information. 6512
