Wet Area for Archicad - Fast and Compliant Wet Areas

Wet Area

Eliminate the need for manual fall calculations—this intelligent tool provides live feedback as you draw, displaying falls in metric or imperial units and checking compliance against your custom minimum and maximum fall settings. Positioning the floor waste or drain has never been easier—simply drag it to suit your required falls and fixtures, and watch the gradients update in real time.

Prefer automation? Just set your minimum and maximum allowable falls, and the tool will automatically adjust perimeter levels to ensure compliance.

The Wet Area tool adapts to any bathroom shape, with unlimited perimeter points to accommodate angled walls and riser intrusions.

Paired with Archibites Model View Options, you can easily generate floor plans, finish plans, and concrete setout drawings—each with tailored graphics and accurate setdown level adjustments.

Tested Archicad compatibility: 25, 26, 27, 28
