ArchiCAD Basic Training Lesson 6 | Coordinate Input, The Tracker & Guide Lines

http://www.acbestpractices.com/quicks... - Lesson 6 from the QuickStart Course by Eric Bobrow - IMPORTANT info - see below!
This 24 minute ArchiCAD video tutorial shows you how to draw walls (or other elements) to precise lengths by entering values into the Tracker or Coordinate palettes. Both Imperial and Metric systems are used.

TECHNICAL ADDENDUM: Graphisoft has changed the behavior of Guide Lines in ArchiCAD 15. While drawing or dragging an element, a large orange dot will appear whenever you hover over an element edge; to create a guide line along that edge, click the orange dot. A guide line may be projected along a coordinate axis from a node point (e.g. the corner or end of an element) by pressing down on that node and dragging along an axis until ArchiCAD shows a tentative guide line, then releasing the mouse; the actual drawing or editing operation will then proceed, but with the guide line visible for use in alignment. For a demonstration and explanation of the new behavior of guide lines in ArchiCAD 15, please see my video tutorial Guide Lines in ArchiCAD 15 -    • ArchiCAD Tutorial | Guide Lines in Ar...
