ARCHICAD & Real-Time Rendering

Real-time rendering when combined with ARCHICAD offers a powerful combination for design and visualization.
Join this webinar to discover:
  • Sources for BIM objects and entourage for visualization including manufacturers and online library resources.
  • Management of imported objects including how to customize materials, reduce polygon count and improve the speed of project models.

The webinar will be offered at two different times on May 6, so please select a time when registering.

ModelPort | Managing Imported Objects for Archicad
Oct 6 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am
  • Want access to more objects for Archicad?
  • Have problems editing imported objects?
  • Do imported objects slow your model performance?

If the answer is yes, then it’s time to rethink how you work with imported objects!

Join us to discover how you can preview models before import, edit element settings and mange both file size and polygon count to improved the speed of your Archicad model.


Compare ModelPort to Archicad’s Standard Features

Archicad v ModelPortModelPort 2.0 adds a lot of productivity and management features that are not offered in Archicad. See how they compare.


About ModelPortArchicad Sofa and Table Object

Downloading and managing ARCHICAD objects has never been easier. Import, edit and change settings for a wide variety of objects, including OBJ, FBX, MODO, Lightwave and Blender and more.

With ModelPort you can preview models before import as well as edit material, texture, texture placement, pen weight, fill color and more with powerful parametric editing tools.

You can also manage imported models and objects to reduce file size and control the polygon count thus improving speed and performance. Learn more about ModelPort.

Designing Interiors with Product Objects
Oct 13 @ 8:00 am – Oct 14 @ 5:00 pm

Join this webinar to explore how architects, interior designers and design-build professionals can integrate product objects from manufacturers using ModelPort. This tool is the leading Archicad add-on for importing, managing and editing objects. 

We invite you to learn how to enhance your Archicad workflow…

  • Import objects from a wide variety of formats including FBX, OBJ, DAE, 3DS, MODO and more. 
  • Manage Archicad objects created by Revit or SketchUp imports
  • Clean up and manage Morphs converted from imported objects
  • Create objects from model elements such as Walls, Slabs, Morphs, Beams, etc.
  • Add textures to any imported surface
  • Delete selected meshes in the ModelPort Editor
  • Reduce polygon count & file size of imported objects

ModelPort 3.0 | Working with SketchUp
Nov 30 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

In Archicad editing imported SketchUp objects can often be cumbersome and time consuming. With the recent update to ModelPort users can now import, edit and manage 2019 to 2022 SketchUp formats. We invite you to join one of our three webinars scheduled to coordinate with different time zones around the world.

Object Strategies | Optimizing Performance
Mar 30 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

We recently released support for Apple silicon that allows ModelPort to take full benefit of the new processor architecture and delivering faster performance. To demonstrate this new capability we performed comparison test running ModelPort natively in Archicad 26 for Apple Silicon and on Windows with significant increases in performance…

Import 1 : Detailed model from a manufacturer

  • 149 mb SKP file with 795,228 polygons
  • 11 seconds : ModelPort
  • 1 minute 41 seconds : Archicad

89% faster to import & view using ModelPort compared to Archicad’s default importer.

Import 2 : Residential model with landscaping

  • 32.3 mb SKP file with 1.9 million polygons
  • 10 seconds : ModelPort
  • 2 minutes 27 seconds : Archicad

93% faster to import & view using ModelPort compared to Archicad’s default importer.

Attend the webinar to learn more about how ModelPort can increase your performance on Archicad projects including faster time importing objects, reducing time waiting to view complex models and improving speed to edit imported objects.
