VIDEO DETAILS:
ArchiCAD 24 is a powerful tool, but many people are still using archicad the old school way; having to redo lots of work and constantly having to use 2D lines. With renovation filters we can chop and change our work flow to however we see fit.
By introducing existing, demolition and new construction filters, we have the ability to review our work at any point in time. So lets take the example of new information being presented to us on the existing plans. This would usually mean having to go back and change a series of pln files to adjust one change and then having to retify all those items in the new construction. Well now we can simply change one filter see exactly what happened, fix it in a matter of seconds and move on.
The renovation filter options provide us with a lot of flexibilty when it comes to documentation. By default they are set to grey, red and black construction lines, but we have the liberty of changing this to however we see fit. So if for any reason we wanted to change the existing lines to orange instead of grey, that would be extremely easy. If you don't know how to do this, it is something I teach in today's tutorial.
We explore renovation filters in archicad 24 in full depth, looking at all the ways to change our settings and what all the settings do. We explore this in both 2D and 3D elements whilst explaining how each setting change will effect your documentation.

Thought you wasn’t uploading today . I kept refreshing your page every twenty mins.. good work as usual

9.30pm wst every Monday! Yet to fail in 2 years of being on youtube so you can rest assure one is always coming! :)

[@Fabio_MCM]

great help!! got to change workflow... archicad vs revit... got to check your videos about it

[@DavidTomic]

Glad to help!

[@shaneellis4720]

Awesome vid dude.

[@DavidTomic]

Thanks man

Hey there! a solid explanation on renovation filters. Though I have this problem with showing demolished walls or elements under the new construction walls/elements. See, when you put the renovation filter on "change plan" which basically will show you yellow and red ( as demolished and new construction), you won't see demolished lines or hatch under new construction walls! the problem pops up when for instance you have a 30 cm wall to be demolished and a 40 cm wall to construct on the same position when shown on "change plan" status, you won't see that 30 cm that is beneath the new wall and basically all you see is the new construction wall. Yes, you can change the view order but that does not change the fact that one over another basically covers all beneath. Hope you get my question 😅

[@DavidTomic]

Hey mate! I always have 3x plans when doing renovatipn projects. Existing, demo and proposed. This way if anything is covered it is picked up in the demo plan as apposed to having all the info on one plan. If I didn't answer the question, check one of my newer videos and join the discord group where you can share screenshots and we can help :)

[@realpulsecoin]

Great content David! Do you use this renovation feature to also show changes and revitions? Or do you simply use the bouble tool?

[@DavidTomic]

I cloud changes only at construction stage.

@@DavidTomic Thx and greetings from a newbie from Norway 👏

[@pablo.morello]

i need to know hoy to properly list the demolition elements to calculate their volume... any help with that?

[@esjono859]

Hi David . So after you have the filters applied . Do you just save each view so in View Map you will have 3 plans, Existing ,Demolition & New? Cheers

[@DavidTomic]

Yes that is what I do

[@MCAC4142]

Hi David, thank you for your work. I wonder if you have a solution to use this tool in the elevations, because many times i have elements that are to be demolished in from of other elements, and what hapens is that whatever is behind this elements will not be seen. Do you have any solution for this problem? Thanks

[@DavidTomic]

I still have this issue as well, sadly it isn’t a perfect system. Normally I just 2D fill things that don’t need to be there

[@shaneellis4720]

Awesome vid. How is it I’ve not seen this before.... thx

[@DavidTomic]

Most welcome mate! Slowly but surely the algorithm is figuring it out and more people are seeing my videos :)

[@skripnigor]

Thanks. I wonder what mouse you are using?

[@DavidTomic]

Logitech mx master 2

[@Michael-gd8op]

What do you do if you have a project with multiple phases? Can you create additional renovation statuses?

[@DavidTomic]

Depends on the scope and scale. Either just annotate stages on the drawings, or provide an addenda document. Alternatively if its large then each stage becomes a pln file. Discord group might have some good answers too

[@ksnjos001]

Can ArchiCAD do structural drawings cause I am struggling with Revit (it needs Dynamo programming to streamline the workflow) at the moment!

[@DavidTomic]

Yes but revit is still better IMO.

[@And_Rec]

italy here, dont know europe in general, yellow and red drawings, yellow is the old and red the new

[@Rafnaspm]

Bro what are best softwares for architect Rendering also

[@DavidTomic]

Twinmotion = fast and good results. 3DS max = hard but amazing results. Unreal Engine = future of rendering IMO but not there yet.

[@Rafnaspm]

@@DavidTomic bro revit , autocad or archicad ?? Vray vs corona ?

[@DavidTomic]

Revit or archicad = both good. Revit = high end commercial with lots of BIM. Archicad = everything else. Archicad can do it, revit just does it better. Autocad is outdated IMO. Vray 5 is great from a videography element corona for still images. There isn't one answer. Whatever you master will be just as good as something else. Also price is important and what software is used in your country to get a job.

[@Rafnaspm]

@@DavidTomic thanks bro for u valuable reply ♥️

[@damebambou1745]

@@DavidTomic hello, do you also stick to Twinmotion for interior renderings combining natural lighting (located sun at dusk for example or bad weather day) and artificial lighting? I've read Twinmotion is great for outdoor renderings... I come from Rhino+ Vray even for still images, learning to use Cinerender in depth, even though I know it's ok for basic renderings not high end ones. Haven't used 3DsMax in ages, considering jumping back to it for the indoor ones, what's your view on Enscape? As you mention very well, then it comes back to cost, scale of work, offices workflow & even countries kind of trends in the archi world. Thanks so much for your precious well paced, clear tutos and tips.
