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.
