TOPIC: Site and Interior Point Clouds from Drones and Matterport
Presenters:
– Stefan Hampden, CAST architecture
– Dylan Hampden, CAST architecture
– Link Ellis, Elizabeth Ellis Interior Design
If you’ve ever thought about using point clouds and laser scans to produce as-built drawings and 3D models, this Archicad User Group is for you.
The team from CAST architecture will share how they’re using drones to create point clouds and photogrammetry for site models. While Link Ellis with Elizabeth Ellis Interior Design will share how they’re using Matterport technology to generate point cloud models for interiors.

TOPIC: Specification Schedule using Zones and Objects
Presenters:
– David Marlatt, DNM Architecture
Often we need to include tables in our documents regarding product specs, code issues or other information which is not dependent on elements in the model. The solution has been to create an external spreadsheet, publish a PDF and link this to a layout, but this can be cumbersome, sometimes links are lost, and not everyone on the team may understand where the information resides.
Still a work-in-progress, DNM Architecture will present an “Archicad hack” that adds tables to layouts and stores the information directly in the Archicad file. Using a combination of Zones and Objects the table contents can be edited directly in the Archicad schedule or in the object settings. Items can be added or removed from the table by dragging them in or out of the zone. A library of “schedule objects” (e.g. wood windows, metal windows, code sections, plumbing fixtures, finishes) can be created and stored in the Archicad template, ready to be used by dragging into the relevant zone.

You’re invited to learn how ModelPort can improve your Archicad workflow when editing and managing imported objects. In this webinar we’ll review how to control the detail level of imported objects using several examples…
Editing Models and Element Visibility
Third party and manufacturer models often need to be edited when imported to Archicad. We’ll review options in ModelPort to edit imported models and change the visibility of elements.
Using Model View Options with Imports – NEW
Learn about ModelPort’s NEW Model View Option feature that allows you to customize detail of imported objects and manage the level of detail using Model View Options.
Optimizing Performance with Polygon Management
The default Archicad import does not offer options to manage the performance of a model import. In this example we’ll review how to use Import from Archicadto edit an import, compress the file size and control the polygon count.
