Hi Smitha, to download files you will have to go to each product/bim object's page to do so. If there is a Downloads section on the right then you can download them, but not all products have BIM/CAD files so if there is no Downloads section on a product page unfortunately that one does not have any files attached to it.

Does ArchiCAD 13 calculate energy rating for buildings as the newer versions do? I am trying to calculate the energy rating (EPC) for a small building, new construction, and I am wondering if there are any plug-in to do this job.

If you are using SBEM and SAP these are simplified calculation tools. The simplified method is an alternative compliance path to Dynamic Simulation Method (DSM) in the UK.

You could try arguing that the 5' dedication is a hardship and that you should be allowed to count that square footage as part of your RFA. your plan checker can grant that depending on why the city wants the 5' dedication. Otherwise you are probably screwed. My next question would be, can you deduct that 5' dedication from your prevailing se... 1 More Answer
