Default Work Environment Profiles
ARCHICAD is shipped with default Profiles:
•Architectural
•MEP Engineering
•Structural Engineering
When you first start ARCHICAD, the New Project dialog lets you choose from any of these profiles.
Each Profile, optimized for a particular discipline, is set up to make it easy to find the tools and commands you will probably need most often.
Naturally, you or your office CAD manager can reconfigure these profiles as needed.
Apply a Different Work Environment Profile
Use Options > Work Environment > Apply Profile and choose a profile.
Customize Work Environment Settings
As you get used to working with ARCHICAD, you will develop personal preferences for using the program’s features and arranging the various palettes, toolbars and menus on screen. You will set most of these options in the many sub-dialog boxes opened from the Work Environment dialog box at Options > Work Environment > Work Environment.
You can customize any of these settings while you work: just open the needed dialog box, change the setting, and press OK. The setting will take effect.
