VIDEO DETAILS:
ArchiCAD has some amazing features that most people don't know about. one of those features is hotlinking which is a must for anyone repeating floor plans. When you have anything that is repetative you can simply hotlink it into your master file and start building te foundations via module files. By doing this you do not have to worry about changing floor plates one hundred times over, instead you can just fix it once and be complete done with it.

Thanks David for this free tutorial vid😇. Can't wait to see your channel grow.

[@mattap98]

Perfect video for the perfect timing! David, i cant say thanks enough. Just started my 3rd year in Uni and we're doing an urban housing project this semester, so this is truly useful to me

[@DavidTomic]

Glad I could help Matt!

[@Mr360alcol]

Can we please get an indepth video with structure, columns, pillars, lining up toilets and setting up grids etc please!

[@m_akbar3890]

Thank you David for that great tutorial, you are an amazing teacher i am impressed a lot.

[@khardlow3067]

Nice work as always

[@munmyungpark8877]

I am a Revit user and have recently started working with Archicad due to work requirements. Your tutorial is the best for understanding, and you provide answers for functions that are similar to those in Revit.Thank you!

[@DavidTomic]

That’s probably because I too was originally a revit user :)

[@JGabrielF]

Grácias David por la explicación.✌️

[@DaiVoCFS]

Awesome. Thank you

[@Sarah-Terra]

Yes please make a more in-depth video on how to make a skyscraper. In the masters program I’m completing we have an IBS and Composition class, and there’s so much to complete in a short amount of time (basically construction drawings, schedules, details, etc)

[@easyprintfk4361]

Nice one sir..❤

[@radarh7910]

Odlično, bravo, great!

[@DavidTomic]

Hvala!

[@diego.3445]

amazing thanks :D

[@drewcaddy]

Hey David, do you have a good method for producing Development Schedules automatically based on Zones from ArchiCAD?

[@pau5382]

Thank you so much for your helpful tips ! One question though can you make a video about graphic overrides and pen settings ? I always struggle with that

[@DavidTomic]

Sure can! Stay tuned.

[@jobwafula2042]

hey david, i've seen your video and it is really good. my challenge is that i'm stuck in hotlinking steps since I am using archicad 26 and i'm trying to draw a 10 storey building. So my question to you is please can you write for me the steps on how to hotlink in archicad 26

[@leonardosyummyyummy4621]

Thanks

[@mwapesamala848]

Awesome

[@aaronbenassayag6852]

Merci pour ce tuto, mais comment gérez vous la numérotation des étages?

[@rozayhomesdesign301]

Thank you so much

[@DavidTomic]

Most welcome !

[@LorettoMazden]

Hello. How do you find the master hotlink layer kindly

[@hungbuimanh9260]

Thank you David, but why don't we edit the hotlink file and then update the hotlink and edit the mod file?

[@cunhasantos3014]

Hi Tomić, gday. Querie for you if possible: what’s the reason why suddenly we can not save from the 3D WINDOW our 3 story house as an OBJECT… GETTING ONLY FLAT 2D IMAGES… Driving as crazy… any tips how to overcome this, much appreciated. Cheers Cunha & Santos

[@DavidTomic]

Jump on the discord group mate and send through a few screenshots of the issue. I’m sure we can solve this

[@cunhasantos3014]

Tomić thank you for your msg… we shall do… cheers C&S… HVALA MNOGU.

[@ozbebasunnat7448]

how to raise the first floor, I can't lift the upper floor,,,,you pressed something there, what was it

[@123tsgsvdhndbd]

what program are you using

[@Engmutua]

Perfect video... Which is the best rendering software please?

[@DavidTomic]

Depends what you are looking to do with the software. Quick renders = twinmotion, high end renders look at 3Ds max or maybe unreal engine. Many options not one best IMO

[@je4axstudio558]

why my external content menu have only sub menu which are place external drawing and drawing manager. There is no hotlink menu. Can you help me ?

[@DavidTomic]

Check the discord group chat link I. The description and drop some screenshot there. The group will be able to assist!

[@Amine_page]

[@Amine_page]

have***

[@jiseni6150]

Bruv just use “edit elements by stories “

[@tims3817]

cool stuff, but i was clueless throughout. You say its a tutorial, but you dont really explain key things, for instance 7:40.

[@DavidTomic]

This tutorial may be a little more on the advanced side, have a look at one of my others and ket me know if you still feel this way
