Description
This plug-in provides you with all of the tools necessary for creatingas-built surveys within ArchiCAD.
Its tools for designing and placing
doors and windows allow you to quickly and easily draw an as-built
survey and convert it
into a 3D model made up of parametric ArchiCAD elements.

Work method
With the Room tool, using the same logic as if youwere doing a freehand sketch, you design the rooms
being surveyed on the Floor
Plan (rectangular, L-shaped
or freeform) and add any
necessary notes or information. Next you define the
positions of doors and windows, using either a generic
type (single or double door)
or choosing one from the
ArchiCAD Library.
Using the Trilateration tool, you insert
the diagonals in the room to block the
as-built survey geometrically; if there are
intersecting diagonals, ArchiMap lets
you define which ones are primary and
which are secondary.
Furthermore, you
can define a 90° angle between two
walls or insert hotspots inside, outside
or along the sides
of the room being
surveying (for
example, for placing a pillar or to
define the position of an element on a
wall).
The Measurements tool lets you insert
the lengths of the room's sides or diagonals either individually or in sequence.
You can input the measurements
manually or by interfacing directly with
Leica's DistoTM Plus laser distance meter
(via a BlueTooth connection).

The Join tool allows you to connect rooms that have been surveyed and stored, using the doors that the rooms have incommon. If the thickness of the wall separating the Rooms is not
uniform, you
can join the rooms using four hotspots
(two in each room), resulting in the generation of a trapezoidal wall.
|
| |
Once the rooms have been joined, you can create aPerimeter around them and define the following parameters: the maximum
and default thickness of the
perimeter wall and internal walls, the trapezoidal wall limit, the
limit for the difference in aligned walls thicknesses and
the limit for trapezoidal perimeter walls.

Using the 3D Construction tool, you can select the as-built and thePerimeter and then either manually or automatically erect all the walls
and insert the doors and windows selected from the ArchiCAD Library.
ArchiMap erects editable walls individually based on the active
settings for ArchiCAD's Wall tool (height, materials, pen, internal
hatching, etc.); the 2D as-built is thus converted into a 3D model made
up entirely of parametric ArchiCAD elements.
