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  ArchiCad to online web with DWF Reviewer for Redline / markup 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.

BEKA was tasked to illuminate the arch that spans 408m over the length of the stadium, extending to a staggering 106m above the centre of the field. 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. =============================================================================
