ArhiCAD 3d models download pln format on 2d-3d.ru

From this article you will learn even more about the ARCHICAD library. Let's talk about how to load objects into the library. I will also show you where you can download models for ARCHICAD.

The standard ARCHICAD library contains many high-quality parametric objects, but they are not always sufficient. Therefore, it is often necessary to load additional library elements.

There are not many resources where you can download parametric models for ARCHICAD for free. We will look at the main ones.

Models from SketchUp are also well suited for use in ARCHICAD. But let's first learn how to load objects into the library. If you have not yet understood the library in ARCHICAD, we recommend reading the article “ARCHICAD Library”.

Materials for production

The walls of the modules can be made using wood or metal. If the choice fell on wooden beams, then this is the key to the environmental friendliness of the future structure, but steel elements provide a longer service life and high strength of the entire structure.

Heating

In winter, to heat forty square meters of DublDom, according to residents, only two electric convectors are enough. They are built into the floor near the windows.

An additional option is the organization of water heating. The wiring for it is laid immediately during production. When installing at home, it simply connects to the networks.

The new models have heated floors in the bathrooms.

The design of the house includes a hole for the chimney. If desired, a compact stove - fireplace - can be connected. Reviews on DublDom heating confirm: a small wood-burning stove is just an addition that allows you to make life in a wooden house more comfortable.

If you come to your dacha in winter, the house will warm up in no more than an hour. Energy-saving technologies and materials help keep the heat well.

Gas heating can also be installed. You just need to take into account that boiler room equipment will increase the value of your home.

Advantages of "Doublehouses"

If you take a closer look, the modular buildings look like figures from a construction set. Separately existing blocks are assembled into a single whole, including utilities and interior finishing (at the customer’s request).

Let's take a closer look at the advantages of building houses from modules:

Saving material resources. When independently constructing a capital structure, the cost part includes the costs of purchasing building materials, paying hired workers, services for laying utility lines inside the building, and installing plumbing. In Doubledom all these options are included in the base model.
There is no need to create a capital foundation. The construction of modular houses is possible without foundation work. The maximum number of floors of a modular house is 2. In the case of “Double Houses,” a reinforced concrete slab with an air gap is used. In swampy areas, preference is given to piles. Due to the absence of the need to build a foundation, modular houses are suitable for any site with varying soil conditions.
Mobility of the structure. Modular designs are easy and quick to assemble. They can be equally easily disassembled, transported to a new location and reassembled. If desired, it is possible to increase or decrease the area of the structure by adding/removing modular parts.
Save time. Building a house takes a long time. At the stage of pouring the foundation, it will take the same amount of time as to assemble the modular structure as a whole. To assemble a small “Doubledom” it will take from 3 to 9 days. A few more days will be needed for interior decoration and furniture installation.
Resistance to climatic events. Houses assembled from modules are suitable for placement in areas of seismic activity. It is comfortable to stay in the houses at any time of the year. A layer of insulation allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the room during frosts/high temperatures outside.
The durability of the design is ensured by the use of modern high-tech materials with a high degree of wear resistance. Installation on a reinforced concrete slab or piles eliminates the possibility of moisture from the soil getting onto the structural elements, which extends the service life of the Double House.
Low weight of modular sections. Individual structural elements do not have much mass, which simplifies and reduces the cost of installation work. During assembly, you can get by with a crane and the help of several workers.

With all the above-mentioned positive characteristics, “Doubledom” has a number of negative features:

the maximum number of floors should not exceed two;
high costs of transportation to remote areas;
the need for special equipment for the delivery of large sections;
metal-clad walls do not allow air to pass through; it is necessary to think in advance about the method of proper ventilation to prevent condensation and dew;
restrictions in the layout of future premises. Sections are produced in standard sizes; it is not possible to complete an individual author’s project in the case of “Double Houses”.

Description of design

The basis of the house is a wooden frame with mineral insulation (150 mm). On the outside there is a windproof film. This helps retain heat better than a half-meter thick brick wall.

The type of foundation is chosen by the future owner independently. An alternative to a strip or block foundation can be screw piles. It is quite acceptable, since the weight of the modules is small. A foundation made of screw piles is useful in areas where groundwater is close.

The outside walls and roof are covered with metal profile sheets. This is standard equipment. In reviews of “DublDom” they mention that in bad weather the rain drums on the metal roof, but this only makes it more comfortable.

Other finishes are also available - boards, soft tiles, copper sheets and various composite materials.

In their reviews, the owners of DublDom advise taking advantage of the offer to additionally order a terrace or veranda. They are made of larch and fit perfectly into life outside the city. And they are simply irreplaceable when a large group of friends or relatives comes to visit you.

A special feature of the project is a wall glazed from floor to ceiling. This idea is a symbol of an open attitude towards the world. Thanks to her, the surrounding nature is more acutely felt.

No need to worry about large glazing. Energy-saving double-glazed windows are filled with argon. Warm even in severe frost.

Proper orientation of the house to the cardinal directions will also help you save on heating costs. Windows should face south and southwest.

Disadvantages of frame houses

Construction of a frame house

When discussing the pros and cons of frame houses, it is worth remembering that a house built from any material, while having undeniable advantages, will certainly have disadvantages. This may be due to design features, properties of wall and other materials and operational parameters. Considering the low cost of houses built using frame technology, some disadvantages have to be put up with, while others need to be discussed and, if possible, the consequences of them minimized. The main disadvantages of frame houses lie in the peculiarities of their designs and materials, and such disadvantages include:

Easy flammability of frame houses

A fire in any house brings great destruction and destruction of structures, but if at least the walls remain of a brick house, the frame house burns out completely.

Frame house fire

But can flammability stop the process of building frame houses? It won't stop. Construction has been going on for decades, and manufacturers of protective equipment are constantly producing more and more reliable fire retardants - fireproofing impregnations. These impregnations prevent the wood from igniting when it comes into contact with an open flame. In addition, it is easier to prevent a fire than to extinguish it, and for this there are a large number of electronic fire protection systems that monitor emergency situations around the clock. Control of the internal electrical network and other communications is of great importance. Compliance with fire safety rules makes the advantages of frame houses more significant than this disadvantage.

High incidence of dampness and fungus

In areas with high levels of precipitation and high humidity, dampness may appear in any building. In a frame house, the risk is somewhat greater, since a very accurate calculation of the “dew point” is required, the boundary between the different temperature backgrounds of the street and the house.

“Black mold” from the cracks of SIP panels of a frame house

If this point is calculated incorrectly, condensation occurs, followed by fungus and mold, but this can only happen when the premises are completely sealed, when the walls do not “breathe” and moisture does not escape outside. When building the walls of frame houses, a correctly assembled “sandwich” and the treatment of wooden structures with an antiseptic that protects against fungus and pests are of great importance. A properly built and carefully treated house with antiseptics will not be afraid of fungus, mold and pests for many years.

Low noise insulation

A big disadvantage of frame houses is the low noise insulation between individual rooms and interfloor ceilings.

The lack of thick walls and slabs on the ceiling affects this, but the noise level can be reduced by laying a thicker layer of insulation in the walls and installing decorative soundproofing materials, of which quite a lot are produced today. But all these measures will not help in the fight against noise and vibration when walking in shoes on the second floor and moving furniture. Make as little noise as possible.

Vibration resistance

Due to their design features, frame houses are sensitive to vibration, which leads to a loss of rigidity in the connection of parts and structural elements, and the house gradually goes to destruction.

Advantages of frame houses

Today, when suburban housing construction is rapidly developing, frame technologies have become one of the ideal solutions for the development of suburban villages, especially since the advantages of frame houses have already been identified in practice.

Among the most obvious advantages developers call:

The cost of construction is the lowest in terms of per square meter. meter, so houses using this technology are being built all over the world.
Speed of construction - an individual frame house is installed on a ready-made foundation in 1 month by a team of 3 people; with the construction of the foundation and finishing work no more than 2 months.
Low thermal conductivity - design features and modern insulation create a comfortable standard of living in winter and provide coolness in summer.
Low heat capacity - the design features of a frame house allow you to heat only the rooms needed at a particular moment, which brings significant savings, and after a long absence - the ability to quickly heat the necessary rooms.

Aesthetics of internal walls - frame technology allows, already during the construction process, to prepare channels in the walls and lay water supply and heating pipes, install electrical wiring and install a ventilation system
Lightweight foundation - the low weight of the structures of such a house makes it possible to pour shallow foundations, which significantly reduces construction costs, the need for materials and reduces construction time.
No shrinkage - during the construction of frame houses, dry modules and materials are used, they do not shrink, do not violate the geometry of the house and allow immediate interior finishing work.
Environmental safety - in the construction of frame houses, natural wood and materials made from natural raw materials are used, which comply with sanitary standards and are safe for people.

Panel for a frame house. Composite materials

Simplicity of interior finishing - modern slab materials are used for cladding walls and ceilings inside houses, so finishing work does not require serious preliminary preparation and is greatly facilitated.
Long-term resistance to temperature fluctuations - the materials used in the construction of the house allow it to be used all year round, warming up only periodically, even in winter.
Earthquake resistance - frame houses, thanks to their design, can withstand vibrations of magnitude up to 9 points, which is why they are very popular in Japan.
All-season construction - for frame house construction, the time of year does not matter, since “wet” construction processes are completely excluded, but if there are foundations filled in the summer. In winter, you can build at temperatures down to -15 °C.
Simplicity of construction - since frame technology does not require bulky heavy structures, there is no need for special construction equipment, the house can be erected by a mobile team, which also has a positive effect on reducing the cost of construction.
Easy installation and dismantling - when the necessary additions are made to the project, frame houses become mobile, they can be easily disassembled without damaging the structures and reassembled in another place.
Convenient access to the internal cavities of walls and ceilings - this facilitates prompt additional insulation, repair and maintenance of communications.

Wall construction

Wind resistance - large planes of external and internal wall surfaces, tightly laid insulation covered with vapor and waterproofing films, guarantee protection from wind and air flow between the street and the premises.
The microclimate of the premises is the presence of wood and other natural materials that “breathe”, absorb and release moisture; the premises create their own healthy microclimate.

What are the other advantages of “DublDom” for the owner?

Characteristics that all of its owners today recognize as significant in their reviews of DublDom:

Warm - 150 mm insulation layer and energy-saving double-glazed windows.
The volume of the house is fully used - a large selection of layouts, spacious rooms, a modern kitchen.
Functional division into zones; on the side there is an entrance with a vestibule.
The architecture of the house is reminiscent of Scandinavian style, which looks very modern.
Very bright - fully glazed end, large windows, skylight in the cooking area and glazed entrance door at the rear. This review of “DublDom” is confirmed by photos of any models of new buildings.

Want to know more?

Take a closer look at DublDom as your future home. There is a wonderful opportunity to spend some time outside the city, enjoying the most beautiful places, and at the same time get to know a modular home.

The beautiful village of Provence is located near the Verkhne-Ruzsky reservoir. The road there takes an hour and a half from the Moscow Ring Road along the Novo-Rizhskoye Highway.

A “DublDom” with an area of forty square meters was recently built in the village. It can comfortably accommodate four people. You can come and stay there. Get to know the house in detail both in severe frosts and in summer heat. Check how this unusual openness to nature suits you personally.

The creator of the project himself, Ivan Ovchinnikov, was the first to try out a small house of twenty-six square meters. He settled and lived there for a year. This experiment turned out to be very useful for the architect. Several important changes were made to the project, and we started thinking about increasing the area of the modular house. As Ivan noted, even his attitude towards some things has changed.

Niyaz Garayev from Kazan acquired a franchise for the production of unique housing. The entrepreneur built for himself a modular house with an area of 130 square meters. m. He writes a blog where he talks about the pros and cons of the unusual structure “DublDom”.

It will always be interesting to hear reviews from real owners for people choosing this option for their country life.

Architectural business during the remote period: practice of teamwork in Archicad

Quarantine restrictions and the forced need for remote work have presented the entire architectural and construction industry and Archicad users, in particular, with new challenges and unforeseen difficulties.

In this article, we tried to look at the problem of remote work from the point of view of a large architectural bureau and a relatively small design workshop. To do this, we asked two practicing architects to answer a series of questions and share their experiences of working remotely:

Ivan Voronezhsky, technical director of the Moscow architectural bureau "Ostozhenka";
Nikolai Karpov, chief engineer of the project of the Arkhangelsk company ArkhKub.

Learn more about the challenges and challenges of remote design collaboration and the potential of Archicad in the webinar, “Practicing Remote Collaboration in Archicad,” held on January 21, 2021.

Ivan Voronezhsky, technical director of the Moscow architectural bureau "Ostozhenka"

What programs do you most often use when working with Archicad?

Archicad is the main and central tool in our work: all other software products are somehow tied to it. Our projects are in several versions - starting with Archicad 19 and ending with Archicad 23. This variation is due to the fact that the projects are long: some last for decades. In addition to Archicad, we use Rhino, Grasshopper, QGIS, SketchUp. But I don’t think that such functionality needs to be implemented in Archicad as well - this is already a fairly powerful program.

How did your office adapt to remote work?

Shortly before quarantine, in order to accommodate more employees, we changed the layout of the office. But literally within a week it was empty. During this time, we set up all the equipment and distributed it to our employees: they went home with their work computers, on which the necessary software was already installed. The only thing they needed was a VPN and a more or less stable Internet.

Office remote work scheme

While our staff was setting up an Internet connection from home, Archicad's emergency licenses were a big help. To collaborate on projects, we used a VPN connection, because it solves all problems at once: with keys, and with access to the file server and the project itself. Employees who didn't have the resources but had a good monitor used remote desktop, leaving their computer in the office. But basically everyone worked through a VPN. For now, our BIM server is enough for us. But, probably, soon we will mature to a full BIMcloud.

What projects were developed remotely?

In 2021, we simultaneously carried out about 30 projects at different stages. Here are some of them:

The concept of renovation of microdistricts in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Archicad has become the basis for collecting information, taking various indicators, and receiving data from QGIS. This large project was developed in a short time completely remotely.

The concept of renovation of microdistricts in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk

Apartment complex on Kazakova Street. The project is currently under construction. As the work progressed, we created a BIM model, but the customer does not need it yet. This is a prefabricated model of architecture and related sections. We used BIMcollab to quickly view IFC files.

Apartment complex on Kazakova street

Residential buildings on Pavlova and Timoshenko streets. This is a very small project - two 10-story buildings. We gained good experience: we built a very high-quality architectural BIM model. Data was regularly transmitted through IFC. We used a graphical replacement to visualize engineering systems, set up interactive catalogs to check our model and the designers' model, track errors and calculations, view and assign the correct model attributes and design functions.

Residential buildings on Pavlova and Timoshenko streets.
The object is small, so we were able to make a good BIMx file. All sheets, links to floors, sections, facades and explications are interactive: from the catalog explication you can go to the described room in the model. We also had a model with already implemented engineering systems - now BIMx has made serious progress in terms of productivity and the ability to load large models. On this project we also practiced with EcoDesigner Star: it helped us and still helps us check the solutions of the nodes.

Residential buildings on Pavlova and Timoshenko streets

Residential complex on Prichalny Proezd. The file is very heavy, about 3 GB: it was necessary to preserve variability in it so that you could go back and compile different versions of the same model. Among the tasks facing us was checking the visibility of the river from the windows. To do this, we made simplified blanks of the model in Archicad, transferred them to Rhino, where we made the necessary calculations. Then they transferred it to Archicad again and there they tried to determine which apartments had zero visibility.

Residential complex on Prichalny Proezd
What advantages does Archicad provide when working remotely?

Archicad uses resources quite economically: complex projects could run on computers that are more than five years old. It is important to note the secure storage and multiple backups of data, the safety of local data in Teamwork. Of course, there were some glitches, but overall Teamwork showed fairly reliable operation. We also note the good integration of Archicad with other software, especially Archicad 24, which allows you to load elements from Revit files. And technical support in such difficult times was organized much better than that of any other software.

How will the bureau work now?

Working remotely had its own psychological difficulties: the situation does not change, and this can negatively affect a person, although productivity initially increases. Employees who deal with working documentation and engineering design have gotten used to working remotely quite well; they feel even better there: there are fewer distractions and it’s easier to concentrate. But at the concept stage, close communication within the team is very important: Zoom meetings are very draining. It is unlikely that we will return to our previous state: we will transform and look for some kind of mixed option.

Nikolay Karpov, chief project engineer of the Arkhangelsk company ArkhKub

Do you use Teamwork technology in your work?

ArchCube is the only design organization in Arkhangelsk that uses teamwork (Teamwork) in Archicad at all stages of design: architects develop a sketch of the object, then designers and related specialists are involved, and design documentation is generated. At the same time, the designers begin creating working documentation. Thus, architects, designers, and subcontractors are involved throughout the entire design process. All this allows you to quickly edit the scope of planning decisions and radically reduce the time required to complete a task.

We currently employ 15 people, of whom only eight are constantly present in the office. At home, employees connect to the server and submit a network license via a remote connection.

What projects have been implemented remotely?

Thanks to the use of Teamwork, remote results are comparable to those obtained in the office. Teamwork in Archicad significantly reduces design time: all participants in the process work in the same space and see each other’s actions.

Residential complex in Severodvinsk. The preliminary design of a residential complex in Severodvinsk with a general concept, visualization and video was completed by our architects in three weeks. The project included the development of a plot of approximately 9 thousand m2 with a residential complex and the renovation of the city's station area. Everyone developed their part, being in the same space with the others. The field of activity and tasks were discussed in advance with the designers: one checked the level of insulation, changing layouts, another built the wall material and decorative components of the facade, the third was developing a master plan and landscaping elements. Designers and subcontractors also did not remain idle: already at the sketch stage, there were disputes and discussions about the design scheme, the possibility of using architectural elements, types of heating and water supply systems.

Cultural and leisure center in the village of Pinega, Arkhangelsk region. During the pandemic, in parallel with other objects, our designers completed the AC and KM albums, and the adjacent ones - the OV and VK albums of the cultural and leisure center in the village of Pinega. In the project of the cultural and leisure center, the designers provided in advance for additional frame beams in the places where the ventilation ducts pass. The heating system specialist promptly noticed obstacles in his path in the form of foundation beams. Such interaction between designers allowed us to avoid mistakes and the need to make changes to already completed design documentation. You can learn more about the project from Alexey Kalinenkov’s article “The Architect’s Tool: Experience from the ArchCube Design Workshop.”

Cultural and leisure center in the village of Pinega
What advantages does Archicad provide when working remotely?

Archicad communication tools speed up interaction between designers: if someone replaces an element, then a request can be sent in the messenger, which the employee will immediately see. Another advantage during operational work is sending 2D and 3D views to any project participant with the ability to comment and discuss.

Visual display of structures and networks in BIMx format helps in remote work and when meeting with approval authorities. We always provide the opportunity to interactively view the project. First of all, builders need this to determine volumes and structures, good 3D display and understanding of future difficulties in work. A set of working documentation, from which you can switch to 3D mode, is available both on a computer and on mobile devices through the BIMx application. Even a person who does not understand drawings will understand what is located here and how.

Example of work in Teamwork

A configured BIM server with delimitation of user rights and distribution of design roles, as well as a reservation system and a project synchronization function helps to optimize our work. Connecting more specialists to Teamwork allowed us to reach a new level: the number of projects being developed increases from year to year, but their quality does not decrease. Using teamwork in Archicad allows you to design productively, quickly and without errors.

How will the company operate now?

We are a growing organization, but during the remote work period, difficulties arose with training new employees: several people came in over the year, but it was quite difficult to train them to our standards. Now we have practically returned to the previous regime: two-thirds of specialists already work in the office. This is more common for all of us.
