Hey, I'm pretty new to using archicad, like brand new started using it today sort of thing..

I was planning on using it to create renderings (with the same look as it gives you in 3D space)

I've created my building, I am just unsure of how to take it, from 3D when you can orbit around it, to getting Side Elevation, Section, Perspective, Site Plan, Floor Plan, All in paper/printing space, but keep it of the same image and texture quality it is in while you can orbit in 3d..

Use Menu View> 3D View Mode>3D Projection Settings>Parallel Views

to save your orthographic views from the 3D window.

Is it possible to have a section in that view?

Time to read the manual.

Look for 3D cutaway.

Aaron is just here for dinner so i must go.

The PDF issue depends - you should publish your machine and software versions since Mac makes PDF so differently than Pc.
