Adaptive reuse and renovation projects offer the opportunity to combine old-world character with contemporary design. Such is the case with two examples we’ll review – the landmark Ford Factory building which was reimagined as Warner Music Group’s new headquarters and the repurposing of an early twentieth-century Monterey Colonial home into a residence that fuses modern indoor-outdoor living with historic charm. What both projects have in common is a technology solution that helps the design team and clients visualize the transformation of an existing building while managing the renovation process.

In this webinar we’ll be joined by Christopher Daubert, Principal of RKA and Olivia DelBono, Architect with FGA who will share their experience with these projects including the benefits of BIM for remodels and adaptive reuse, options to visualize the transformation of an existing structure, process to develop a model for documentation and methods that improve renovation management.

Learning Objective

• Examine how teams used BIM to manage programming constraints as they transformed outdated buildings into modernized spaces while preserving the architectural character.
• Discover how the teams used a BIM solution to study design concepts that maximize natural daylight, strengthen the indoor/outdoor connection, achieve sustainability including a LEED Gold certification and restore historic integrity while adapting to contemporary design.
• Discuss how teams used BIM to design, visualize and communicate these construction challenges.
• Learn how a BIM solution was used not only to coordinate the different phases of renovation but also to streamline documentation and facilitate collaboration between the client, architect, engineers, and other stakeholders.

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.

We’re excited to announce the next Seattle User Group at Weinstein AU

What a better way to end your day than with like-minded Archicad Users … in person! We’ll share best practices and exchange ideas for making the most of Archicad; celebrate the accomplishments of fellow users; and network with each other. At this user group we’ll focus on a number of topics including Archicad Properties, Schedules, data in BIMx, Graphic Overrides, Pen Sets, Model View Options and data display.

>> NEW LOCATION <<

Weinstein AU has graciously offered their office to host our next user group. Their office is located in the renovated Union Stables building which is a Seattle Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To learn more about this building you can read about the renovation at this link.

For access to the building use the intercom at the door or if there’s an issue getting in you can contact Jared at 206.504.3075. There’s a paid parking lot directly adjacent to the building. Street parking in the area is possible but tight due to roadwork for the waterfront revival.

We also invite you to join us for beers at a local pub following the User Group.

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.
