ARCHICAD User Group | Online for Oregon & Washington
May 28 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

TOPIC: Sharing Projects | Sharing Inspiration

Since we are going virtual with User Groups for the time being, we thought we would encompass users throughout Oregon and Washington into one Pacific Northwest User Group.

To kick this off we’re asking for volunteers to share one of their projects with the group. Since it’s virtual and you’ll be at your computer, this should require very little prep. You’ll simply share your screen and tell us about your project.

Please let us know if you’d like to share so we can plan accordingly.

Framing Simplified
Jun 23 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am

ArchiFrame & ARCHICAD

ArchiFrame is an innovative design tool for framing structures that combines engineering with aesthetics. It is an ARCHICAD extension that provides for more user-friendly wood and metal structuring and design.

Join us to examine how ArchiFrame:

• makes it easy to structure roofs, walls, floors, frames, panels, and wooden elements
• reshapes planks and beams in one click
• sits within your ARCHICAD file — including 3D models and 2D elevations with semi-automated layouts and listings
improves processes and project management.

Discover why ArchiFrame is the ultimate end-to-end modeling software for wood and metal framing.


“ArchiFrame is a bridge between the design and the construction process. Design drawings in Archicad to light gauge steel frame construction drawings in ArchiFrame with Teamwork is a seamless process. Our company has been using this tool since 2016 and we completely love it. It saves time and money, providing a clear 3d visualization of the CORE structure to the workers on the field.”
