With Archicad, architects can design, visualize, document, and deliver projects of all sizes with powerful built-in tools and an easy-to-use interface that make it the most efficient and intuitive BIM software on the market. Thanks to powerful improvements to automated design, documentation and collaboration workflows, and professional out-of-the-box visualization solutions, architects and engineers can dedicate more of their time and attention to their valuable design work. All these smart guides are here to help you making quick, precise and very intuitive measurement.Budapest, Hungary – Graphisoft, a leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solution developer for architecture, announced the release of Archicad 26, and updates to its BIMcloud, BIMx, and DDScad solutions, on 14 July 2022. The dashed line (third screenshot from the left) will show you when your measurement point is aligned to an edge, either vertical or horizontal, while the orange point (fourth screenshot from the left) will appear when a point is snapped. The orange circle will allow you to know if your measurement point is being applied on a vertical surface (second screenshot from the left), or on a horizontal surface (first screenshot from the left). The measure tool in 3D will give you smart guides allowing you to make precise measurements (see below), you will have perpendicular guidelines to get straight vertical or horizontal measurements. If the point you tap is at an extremity of the shape then you will get two options " Delete" and " Add point", so you can extend the measurement with a new point if needed. Tap one of the "snap point" (Dark blue), once tapped the magnifier pointer will be displayed and you will be able to update the shape of the selected area, if you want to delete this specific point, " Delete" will be displayed next to the pointer. If you made any mistake with the points you wanted to select, you can very easily edit the shape of the area or the lengths.
