Start Learn ArchiCAD
Master ArchiCAD and BIM with a practical, architecture-focused course.
Course 2. Architecture for Interior Design
In this course, we’ll go through the complete interior design process using a real apartment project as an example — from space planning to full technical documentation.
You’ll learn how to zone spaces, create furniture layouts, lighting, electrical, and plumbing plans, wall elevations, and schedules — everything inside the BIM environment of ArchiCAD.
You can start from the beginning or choose specific modules to strengthen your skills in certain areas. The program is always personalized and adjusted to your needs and level.
