Start working on Urban Iterations based on the Context Model that we have created in the previous tutorials. Learn the correct workflows for guaranteeing compatibility between your building proposals and the context, both in the 3D model and during 3D printing.

Learn how to create a comprehensive, printable set of site plans and views and use it for sketching the first ideas of your project.

Create a 3D model of the context of your site in ArchiCAD, consisting of a flat terrain, streets and context buildings with different-shaped roofs. Your new model will be totally 3D printable.

Let’s continue working on our context model by adding more detail to it. Build windows, trees and stairs to create an amazing base to showcase your architectural ideas.

Take your context model to the next level by creating a terrain that reflects actual topographic information. Adapt the different objects of the model to the new terrain and learn how to set up the 3D printing file to fit your model in your printer.
