Object Strategies | Optimizing Performance
Mar 30 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

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.
