Many architects still use 2D software in spite of the fact that 3D is increasingly implemented in design and construction. 3D often connotes BIM or Building Information Modeling, which can feel big and cumbersome.
– But it doesn’t have to be!
ArchiCAD’s all-in-one solution offers flexible 2D/3D tools not only for BIM modeling but also for non-BIM tasks such as:
- Modeling with “Sketch-Up” style tools
- Producing sketch and photo renderings
- Developing presentations
- Detailing production drawings
- Generating building schedules
- Improving drawing coordination
- Accessing projects on mobile devices
- and much more…
Attend a seminar to learn more about how these firms and others are improving business with ArchiCAD.

Struggling with BIM in design? Are your clients requiring interactive 3D models or Virtual Reality? You’re not alone!
Firms are rethinking their approach to BIM as technology savvy clients expect more from architecture design services.
Join us to hear architects discuss why they’re shifting BIM earlier in the design process, how this is impacting their business profitability and why a growing number of firms are switching to ARCHICAD, a design focused BIM platform. We’ll discuss how to use ARCHICAD as a design tool including as a replacement to SketchUp, to develop project presentations and as a bridge to immersion technologies such as BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
- Laney LA
- Joseph Vance Architects
- CORE Architecture
- KA DesignWorks
- CAST Architecture
- HapstakDemetriou+
What you will learn:
- Discover why firms are rethinking their approach to BIM.
- Discuss the impact of technology savvy clients and their expectations for architectural design services.
- Understand the opportunity for presenting your design ideas through interactive 3D models or virtual reality such as BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
- Learn why architects are increasingly switching to ARCHICAD’s design focused platform.
AIA CES: 1.5 LUs
Architecture is going through a fundamental shift in how designers communicate ideas. Today’s clients are technology savvy and becoming more comfortable with interactive design immersion technologies such as iPads, BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. We invite you to join this presentation to learn how mobile and virtual reality technologies are changing the way architects interact with clients, consultants, contractors and other stakeholders.

AIA CE: 1 LU
Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients are expecting high-tech when it comes to architectural design services. This is leading businesses to rethink their design approach. We will review how firms are adapting by shifting BIM earlier into the design process, generating ideas with algorithmic design, incorporating “real-time” visualization, and integrating immersive technologies such as BIMx, Unreal Engine and HTC Vive into their workflow. Join us to embark on a look at High-Tech in today’s creative workflow and glimpse the future where we envision how design technologies will impact the profession. Algorithmic Design Meets BIM
Discover how combining algorithmic design with BIM can be used to generate design concepts with tools such as ARCHICAD, Rhino and Grasshopper.
|
 Influence of Gaming on Architecture
Explore the benefits of “real-time” rendering and how gaming engines are allowing architects to not just visualize a project but experience design. |
 Immersive Design – VR to Mobile
Examine immersion technologies that support the architectural design process without breaking the bank including BIMx, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. |

If you’re still using 2D CAD such as AutoCAD or Vectorworks and you’re curious about BIM you should attend this seminar where we’ll introduce you to:
- An overview of BIM (Building Information Modeling)
- Advantages and benefits of an integrated 2D/3D workflow
- How to create a smooth transition from traditional CAD to BIM
While 2D CAD systems are very powerful for drafting they fall short when coordinating project changes. This is why businesses are shifting to BIM to increase productivity and streamline a project’s workflow to:
- Avoid mistakes due to different modifications
- Improve the coordination between the different disciplines
- Better analyze the building’s properties
- and much more…
Get a jump start on learning the basics of BIM and how to model for real-time visualization. We will focus on how to quickly create a project model with simple andconcise steps. In this training you will learn:
- Overview of the ARCHICAD interface
- Understanding how to navigate a project with views.
- Tips for 2D and 3D navigation
- Commonly used keyboard shortcuts and commands
- Instructions for drawing, modeling and editing
- Other essentials to familiarize yourself with creating a design using ARCHICAD’s modeling tools.
Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients are expecting high-tech when it comes to architectural design services. This is leading businesses to rethink their design approach.
We will review how firms are adapting to this change by:
- Shifting BIM earlier into the design process
- Incorporating “real-time” visualization
- Integrating immersive technologies such as Unreal Engine and HTC Vive
- Using mobile apps such as the BIMx Hyper-model for presentations, design review and on-site coordination.
