Description
ArchiFaçade is a Plug-in that allows perspective images (photographs of
façades, objects, etc.) to be transformed in order to correct, or "straighten" them.
Based on the principles of projective geometry, ArchiFaçade uses the
appropriate mathematical transformations to remove perspective
distortions from an image until a rectified version is generated.

ArchiFaçade's Tool Palette can be opened when
necessary and is used just like any other palette, providing a simple
and rapid way to correct the perspective of a building.
Obtaining the undistorted image of a tall building - perhaps one with
elaborate mouldings and other architectural elements - is a lengthy and
difficult task. The most rapid and efficient solution involves
digitalising your photograph and then, with the help of ArchiFaçade,
transforming it into a "straightened" image in which the measurements
of the individual parts correspond to the exact proportions of the
actual structure.
ArchiFaçade provides two simple methods for correcting perspective
images, both of which require just a few measurements.

With the first method, the real coordinates of four points of the
structure (measurements taken on-site) are indicated on the photograph
that has been imported into the Floor Plan.
With the second method,
first a significantly sized horizontal or vertical segment of the
actual façade is indicated on the photograph. Then, on the same plane,
two points are extended from the end points of the segment to apply the
triangulation technique.
The program allows any unnecessary parts to be deleted from the bitmap,
so that images can be refined and adjusted as desired.
Lastly, ArchiFaçade provides a simple graphic procedure for converting
photographic images into ArchiCAD library parts, allowing them to be
reused in photorealistic settings.
With a few simple and quick calculations, photographs of people, trees,
wings of buildings or any other type of image can be inserted into 3D
models without GDL scripting or the use of other programs.
