ARCHICAD 23: Beginner and Intermediate Level — Overview & Key Highlights
⭐ Course Introduction
This course is a practical, step-by-step introduction to ARCHICAD 23, focused on Building Information Modeling (BIM) for architectural projects. Taught by Alexandre Gonçalves (AGA Studio), it walks learners through creating a complete house project from scratch—using a structured BIM workflow that connects 3D modeling with automatically generated drawings and documentation.
The training emphasizes efficiency and clarity, making it suitable for beginners while still offering enough depth for learners moving into intermediate-level ARCHICAD use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q — Do I need prior experience with ARCHICAD?
A — No. The course is designed for beginners and explains everything step by step.
Q — What software version is required?
A — ARCHICAD 23 (International version) or a newer version is required. Educational and trial versions are available.
Q — Is this course suitable for architecture students?
A — Yes. A basic understanding of architecture concepts is helpful, and the course fits well with academic learning.
Q — Does the course include a full project?
A — Yes. You will complete a full house project from start to finish using BIM principles.
Q — Will I learn both 3D modeling and 2D drawings?
A — Absolutely. The course shows how 3D BIM models automatically generate 2D documentation.
Q — Can I use these skills professionally?
A — The workflows taught are aligned with real-world BIM practices and are useful for professional architectural work.
Why This Course Stands Out
The course stands out for its clarity and real-project focus. Instead of isolated tools or features, it teaches ARCHICAD through a complete architectural workflow. The use of a custom template and emphasis on automatic documentation helps learners understand how BIM improves speed, accuracy, and consistency in design projects.
