    Hello there,

    So.. I am to design a building either using Revit, Archicad or google Sketchup and I think I want to use Archicad...

    I followed an online video of how to draw a two storey building, and it went ok. However I am wondering how to insert lighting as in artificial lighting... In sketchup its relatively easy, but in Archicad I am unsure of how...

    so that is my question.

    If anyone has experience on archicad I could really use some help, its for an assignment and I need to design a 5 bedroom bungalow with services, lighting etc

    many thanks

    For speed of modelling, you cannot beat sketch-up if you have no experience of 3D modelling software.

    What course are you studying so I can get a feel of what is required of you?
