This sounds like a "mouth full" but here I want to show you how simple and very powerful this underutilized workflow in ArchiCad actually is. Document Index I. ArchiCad DWF Publishing Setup & Tools II. ArchiCad DWF Web Tools & communication III. Importing Mark-up / Redlining info from DWF Web files into ArchiCad In this document you will get a basic understanding of when & how to use the built in export function in ArchiCAD to generate .DWF files of your project. This set of exported documents can be used to share project info with clients, and project teams for info, collaboration and interaction. The receiver will not need any BIM or CAD software or relevant experience to view these documents and interact with them. They will only need a computer or device that has w web browser. Notes can be made on the documents, saved and sent back to the sender for implementation to the project as needed.

Given the inaccessibility of this lighting for maintenance and replacements, the solution had to be very unique. The other consideration was to provide a powerful and uniform white light. The solution was LED floodlighting in combination with the Osram Golden Dragon Plus LED chip to ensure uniform lighting. The result is a 26% saving in energy compared to the next most economic alternative and no maintenance for the life of the product. ============================================================================= Moses Mabhida Stadium Client: Durban Strategic Projects Lead Architect: Theunissen Jankowitz The Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa, forms a part of the South Africa Fifa 2010 World Cup facilities. This model was created in ArchiCAD for client coordination purposes. All project details were fully modeled, including doors and windows as per schedule and balustrading, roof edge, cat walk and other detailing.
