: Use these to create dynamic tables for elements, components, or zones. For example, you can generate an Energy Orientation Area Report to total up wall and window areas by orientation for energy analysis.

Beyond geometry, Archicad sample projects highlight the "Information" aspect of Building Information Modeling. A novice user might view the software as a 3D modeling tool, but sample projects reveal the robust data capabilities of the platform. By analyzing schedules and interactive schedules within sample files, users learn how to tag elements and extract data for Bill of Quantities and cost estimation. The integration of Classification Systems (such as the default Archicad classification or international standards like Uniclass) is often difficult to grasp in the abstract. Seeing these classifications applied in a finished sample project demystifies the process, illustrating how a 3D model becomes a database for facility management and construction documentation.

: A dedicated mode that lets users delete or modify a "Sample Wing" of the building and then provides automated feedback if they used the correct tools (like using the Stair Tool instead of 2D drafting). Reverse-Engineered Favorites
