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.
