The Guide for Organizing Your ArchiCAD Project.

The ArchiCAD Project Framework provides a documented structure to be used mainly by new users of ArchiCAD, to guide them through the design and documentation of a building.

The emphasis of the Framework is on simple concepts and methods to organize an ArchiCAD Project from the construction of the model to the production of construction documents.

The document is accompanied by Tip Sheets and ArchiCAD reference projects. Based on his experience with the practical side of architecture, Bill Rattenbury created this guide in cooperation with CADImage Solutions.

The ArchiCAD Project Framework is published on a hybrid CD-ROM and a 124-page manual.

 
GDL Cookbook

The GDL Cookbook is the only book that teaches 'Structured Programming in GDL', but it is so comprehensive that it can be used as a manual for GDL.

Following on from the book 'Object Making with ArchiCAD', the GDL Cookbook takes you from absolute beginner level into regions of GDL that only professionals could dare to enter, with every grade of challenge that lies between. The Cookbook contains some unique work, such as formulae for circle and parabola geometry, routines for tube drawing and location awareness; yet it is laced with a sense of humour and so many tips and tricks on using ArchiCAD that it is fun merely to browse for pleasure. The standards defined in the Cookbook for structured programming give an insight into the future of GDL if it is to become the world language of 3D.
 
GDL Textbook
888.566.2875
Written by experts of Graphisoft CAD Studio with five years' experience in GDL programming, this textbook will help you master Graphisoft's Geometric Description Language. Its ultimate goal is to encourage every ArchiCAD user to create custom elements to suit their needs.

The GDL Textbook is structured to move from the simplest forms towards more complex ones, and is closely linked to the standard documentation included with the ArchiCAD program package. Included are examples detailing applications for specific commands, as well as tips and tricks that will make it easier for you to create new objects, doors, windows or lamps based on previously designed ones.

This 130-page manual printed in A4 format was created by Graphisoft CAD Studio.
