If you are learning how to use ArchiCAD 25 for architectural design and documentation, understanding elevations, sections, foundations, and object placement is an essential part of the process.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to work with elevations and sections in ArchiCAD 25 using simple, easy-to-follow steps. You will learn how to open elevation and section views, adjust settings, edit elevations, insert objects, draw foundations, and label different parts of a section.

Whether you are a beginner learning ArchiCAD or looking to improve your architectural drafting workflow, this tutorial will help you understand some of the important tools used when developing construction drawings.

What You Will Learn

1. Opening Elevations and Settings in ArchiCAD 25

The tutorial begins by showing you how to open elevation views and access their settings in ArchiCAD 25.

Elevation views are important because they allow you to see the vertical appearance of a building. They can be used to review walls, windows, doors, roof elements, and other architectural features.

At 0:47, you will learn how to open elevations and work with the relevant settings.

2. Editing Elevations in ArchiCAD 25

At 1:11, the tutorial demonstrates how to edit elevations in ArchiCAD 25.

Editing an elevation allows you to make adjustments to the drawing and ensure that the building’s external appearance is represented correctly. This is particularly useful when preparing architectural drawings for presentation or construction documentation.

3. Inserting Objects in an Elevation

At 3:47, you will learn how to insert objects into an elevation view.

Adding objects helps make your elevation drawings more detailed and informative. Depending on your project, these objects can include architectural components, furniture, fixtures, or other elements required for your drawing.

4. Opening Sections and Section Settings

At 13:23, the tutorial moves from elevations to sections.

You will learn how to open a section view and access its settings in ArchiCAD 25. Section drawings are important because they provide a vertical cut through a building, allowing you to understand the relationship between floors, walls, foundations, roofs, and other structural elements.

5. Drawing a Foundation in ArchiCAD 25

At 17:52, you will learn how to draw a foundation within the section view.

Foundations are an important part of architectural and construction drawings because they show how the building connects to and is supported by the ground.

Working with foundations in section view can help you understand building levels, floor structures, wall positions, and other construction details.

6. Inserting Objects in a Section

At 26:15, the tutorial demonstrates how to insert objects into a section view.

Adding objects to sections can improve the level of detail in your construction documentation and help communicate how different building components relate to one another.

7. Labeling Parts of a Section

At 32:28, you will learn how to label different parts of a section.

Proper labeling makes architectural drawings easier to understand. Labels can be used to identify building components and provide important information to anyone reviewing the drawing.
