Objective is an add-on to ArchiCAD versions 8 through 12 which allows you to:
* Rotate objects in 3D
* Split objects in 3D
* Model objects in section
* Create profiled 3D objects
* Edit object profiles
* Edit objects in different planes
* Align or distribute objects
* Display objects in level order

Delivery Method OBJECTiVE is available as a download only. Once your order is processed CAD Garage will email you a link and registration code to download your software (usually within 24-36 hours of order placement, excluding weekends).
* Rotate objects in 3D
Tilting or swiveling ArchiCAD objects in 3D can be painful. For non-programmers it means wading through the jargon of paramenter, ROTX, etc…Even then, you still can\’t select a collection of objects and simply rotate them about a common axis, OBJECTiVE makes it as natural as the 2D Rotate built into ArchiCAD; select the ojects, pick Rotate, and you\’re done!
* Split objects in 3D
ArchiCAD\’s Split tool works perfectly for elements like lines and polygon, but won\’t touch 3D objects. Although there are workarounds, they are difficult to implement or edit. OBJECTiVE lets you cut in 3D with the same simplicity as ArchiCAD\’s Split tool, leaving the target objects fully editable and with sensible hotspots.
* Model objects in section
OBJECTiVE brings the section window alive for building and editing the model. New objects placed with the OBJECTiVE tool in section become part of the 3D model, and can be rotated and split in the same way as the Plan view. Even new profiles can be created, placed, and edited in section or elevation – all contributing to the 3D model!
* Create profiled 3D objects
Any element drawn with a polygon – slab, fill, roof, etc. – can be transformed into a 3D object which can be rotated, split, and stretched like any library part supplied with OBJECTiVE. Unlike other profiling techniques, OBJECTiVE gives you immense control of the orientation and shape of every segment to draw what you want.
* Edit object profiles
Detailing often changes as a project develops, and OBJECTiVE has been designed to make this as painless as possible. In order to change an existing profile (in situ), you need only select a new polygon and an existing profile, and ask OBJECTiVE to make the change. The anchor point ensures the profiles aren\’t displaced if the proportions are significantly altered.
* Edit objects in different planes
Editing a 3D assembly of objects can be much simpler when you view them in the right plane, OBJECTiVE adds two planes to each assembly, notionally a \”Plan\” and \”Model\” view. an entire assembly can be sent to a \”Plan\” view, edited (including the addition or removal of objects), and restored to the correct position in the model.
* Align or distribute objects
OBJECTiVE provides a tool for aligning and distributing objects in the X axis (right/center/left), Y axis (front/center/back) and the Z axis (top/center/bottom). When active, groups are treated as a single object. This tool works in plan, elevation and 3D.
* Display objects in level order
The order of objects displayed in the Floor Plan window doesn\’t relate to their order in the 3D model, which can make drawings difficult to read. Recording with \”Send to Front/Back\” is time-consuming and may have to be repeated after editing. OBJECTiVE provides a tool to automatically reorder objects to reflect their true relative levels.
