The documentation workflow is a subset of the project workflow (see Chapter 3, Documentation – A Residential Project, for more information). Our goal is to set up a part of our document properly and take advantage of the automated documentation system.
The documentation workflow in ArchiCAD can be divided into three steps:
View adjustment: This is used to review the established views in our model and consider them as drawings that will be placed on sheets
Sheet setup: This is used to create and review the layouts that will be needed to properly document our project
Drawing placement: This is used to place the views on sheets and adjust the miscellaneous annotation
It is recommended to keep the whole workflow in mind from the beginning. You should create your model and place the 2D elements and annotations thinking about what they will look like on a printed page and how you will organize your document set.
Creating and adjusting layouts is performed in the layout book...
