ArchiCAD Tutorial - How to Create a Layout Book and Publish to PDF

In the previous tutorials, we have been learning how to model a building project in Graphisoft ArchiCAD. After getting done with the modelling work, you need to produce construction drawings. This video tutorial is about coming up with this construction documentation.
By following this ArchiCAD tutorial from start to finish, you will be able to create a layout book and publish your drawings to a printable PDF file.
The process explained herein involves creating new layouts and placing your drawings (floor plans, roof plans, elevations and building sections) in these layouts. These layouts when put together form your project’s layout book, which you will then drag to the publisher sets to form a new folder then save the drawings to a multi-page PDF document.
You are expected, by the end of this video tutorial, to be able to create a layout book for your ArchiCAD project, export it to a custom publisher set and publish your drawings to PDF.

Hello 👋, how do you add the trusses in the roof plan? What do you depend on when putting in the trusses

[@kigenpeter7571]

good question

[@lindokuhlelwazi7119]

Use goodies.

[@sammymutembei2630]

🙏 how to add land4 in archicad 24

[@nicholasmutembei1291]

Great! how about putting all the layouts in one page?

[@QuantBuildAcademy]

You can group all the drawings in the project workspace and use the marquee tool to select everything and save to pdf. See this video guide: czcams.com/video/6QQLn7n1Ows/video.html

[@ashleywoodsUg]

Hell Mwangi, how about if I want all my drawings to be on one layout. How do I do it?

[@QuantBuildAcademy]

Hi Ashley. I am Nzangi. You can group them together and select them using the Marque tool, then go to File > Save as > file type:PDF

[@ashleywoodsUg]

@@QuantBuildAcademy sorry about that Nzangi, now how do I group different PDFs? What I meant was how to put them on the same layout and not as one pdf file. Like one layout having all the elevations, front view, floor plan

[@brianmumbo3648]

how do you design those trusses in the roof ?
