Working with a Structural Engineer
Feb 9 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

In this ARCHICAD In-Practice session Riverstone Structural Engineering will review what infoStructural Imagermation your structural engineer can take from the model to optimize their design and reduce overly conservative design assumptions. Harnessing the protocols you already have in place to streamline your structural engineers workflow, reducing guess work and timely back and forth coordination.

Riverstone Structural Concepts is recognized as one of the most innovative, client-centric engineering firms in the West. The firm specializes in commercial and industrial buildings as well as high-value homes. Their team integrates architectural and engineering software applications including Scia Engineer and ARCHICAD.

Presenter: Jake Timmons

Jake is an Associate at Riverstone Structural Concepts and serves as lead project manager for the residential design group. Jake uses the power of ARCHICAD, Scia and Tekla to manage the production and delivery of a superior level of project coordination, design optimization and 3-D live collaboration in every project. Using these cutting edge technologies, the Riverstone Structural Concepts residential design group is able to deliver an economically superior level of engineering by producing live 3-Dimensional structural drawings fully integrated within the architectural model complete with concrete and rebar volume take-offs, joist schedules, wood volumes and live 3-D structural details. This level of structural coordination has created a standard of engineering drawings that are second to none. Furthermore, the residential team thrives on the power of the multi-user BIM sever collaboration process. Every engineer and designer has an intimate working knowledge of the model they are in throughout the design phase and beyond.

Creating Structural Elements in ARCHICAD
Feb 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Structural Element in ARCHICADJoin this LEARNVIRTUAL Coaching Session as we uncover how to create structural elements in ARCHICAD. You’ll discover:

  • How to create wall framing for plan, elevations and model using an ARCHICAD add-on.
  • How to generate a roof framing for rafters, collars, ties, beams, blocking and hip rafters.
  • How to use the Beam Tool, Column Tool, Object Tool and TrussMaker to create custom framing.

We will jump into ARCHICAD LIVE to review these commands and processes. You’ll also get the chance to have your questions answered by our experienced coach.

This Coaching Session is an excellent complement to last week’s ARCHICAD In-Practice Session on Working with a Structural Engineer.

Featured Coach: Thomas Simmons

Renovation with BIM | 2D & 3D Management
Mar 10 @ 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm

For most firms, renovation projects account for the majority of the workload but managing the various stages can be a struggle. During this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar discover how to quickly add existing conditions for demolition drawings and how this helps expedite the new design work. You’ll also uncover situations where existing conditions do not have to be completely modeled, as well as how to get your drawings to look the way you want them to look.

Join us to examine…

  • How to model existing conditions quickly and accurately
  • How to use existing conditions to produce better designs in less time
  • How to manage phases and renovation filters to control the display of drawings to match company standards

For Passacantando Architects renovation is a big part of what they do and ARCHICAD makes the process a whole lot easier.  “Using the renovation filter helped us see what needed to remain and what could be torn down, of course,” explained Andrew Passacantando when talking about the recent renovation of an historic home. “Showing the existing conditions and proposed changes made it easier for us to communicate with the folks involved in approving our ideas.”
