ArchiCAD !{Latest}

ArchiCAD is a powerful modeling application that allows architects to more efficiently design buildings using Virtual Building technology. ArchiCAD allows architects to concentrate on designing, performing this work independently or in a team, exchanging data with consultants and specialists in other fields. With ArchiCAD 22, you will discover the benefits of architectural design in 3D space and enjoy the incredible freedom of work.

• ntroduction to the MORF tool. In ArchiCAD, a new tool called “MORPH” (MORP) appeared and is designed for free modeling.
• Components of the MORF tool. The objects created by the MORF tool consist of three components: a node (vertex), a face, and a surface.
• Creating a polygonal object MORF. The first way of constructing the object of MORF is polygonal. With the help of it you can build a closed loop – in fact, the MORF-face.
• Creating a polygon 3D object MORF. The polygonal object is not tied to a single plane in any way – any node can occupy any position in space, thus creating a spatial polygon.
• Creation of rectangular, arc and closed MORF elements. In general, there are four types of construction of MORP elements: “rectangle” and “rotated rectangle” for creating direct elements, “center and radius” and “points on the curve” for creating curvilinear elements.
• Create a 3D box from the MORP elements. Method of construction The box creates a solid object. The first two points define the base of the box, and the third the height.
• Create rounded MORP elements. And the third method of construction is rounding. It is constructed in three steps, at first it is necessary to set a profile.
• Selection of subelements. Each MORP element consists of sub-elements that can be selected for further work. Select multiple subelements. In this case, you can select several subelements at once.
• Deleting sub-elements of the MORF. At any time, the selected sub-element of the MORF can be deleted, thereby editing the structure of the MORP object.
• Work with faces and surfaces. In this case, you can add a new geometry to the already existing MORF element-a face, a surface, or a solid object.
• Adjusting the elevation of the MORF. Like any other 3D object, the MORP object can be elevated – this parameter is called the Base Height.
• Mapping of MORP elements on the plan. On the floor plan, the MORP element is displayed as a 3D projection – just like a complex roof or shell.
• Adjustment of coatings for the MORP element. In the parameters dialog of the MORP element, you can specify the base cover material, which is then applied to all faces of the object.
• Configure the methods for partitioning the faces of MORP elements. Any facet of the MORP element has three construction modes that affect the principles of surface formation and their mapping.
• Change the texture of the faces of the MORP elements. By default, the method of applying a texture to the MORP object is boxed. But the user can specify his own method of superposition for each face – up to a spherical overlay.
• Change the origin and direction of the textures of the MORP element. For each face of the MORP element, you can specify your initial point of texture propagation and its rotation angle.
• Moving the node of the MORP-body. Any node of the MORP element can be freely moved in space, thus changing the overall structure of the volume and binding to other nodes, facets of objects.

System requirements:
• Operating system: Windows 7/8 / 8.1 / 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: 64-bit processor with 4 or more cores
• Memory: 16 GB or more is required for working with large and complex models.
• Hard disk: it is recommended to install ARCHICAD on an SSD (or Fusion) disk. To fully install ARCHICAD, you need 5 GB of free disk space. Additionally, 10 GB or more of disk space is required for each project.
• It is recommended to use video cards that support the OpenGL 2.0 mode with a video memory capacity of 1024 MB or more.
• Monitor: we recommend using a monitor that supports a resolution of 1440×900 or higher
