Editing objects for ARCHICAD is often cumbersome and time consuming. With ModelPort 2.0‘s new Viewer & Editor tool this tedious task has become much easier. Discover how parametric editing allows you to control materials, textures, texture placement, pen weights, fill color and more. You’ll uncover how to:
- Edit selected items by object or by material.
- Control settings by selections within the item list.
- Set the object scale, rotation, material, transparency, graphics and other properties.
- Preview an object or model before importing into ARCHICAD.
- Review an object in perspective, floor plan, elevation or graphic view.
Join us for this webinar as we review how to select elements in the ModelPort Viewer, how to use the parametric editor and how to edit the ModelPort 2D symbol and 3D model. Creating ARCHICAD objects has never been easier.
ARCHICAD & Real-Time Rendering
- Sources for BIM objects and entourage for visualization including manufacturers and online library resources.
- Management of imported objects including how to customize materials, reduce polygon count and improve the speed of project models.
The webinar will be offered at two different times on May 6, so please select a time when registering.
- Want access to more objects for Archicad?
- Have problems editing imported objects?
- Do imported objects slow your model performance?
If the answer is yes, then it’s time to rethink how you work with imported objects!
Join us to discover how you can preview models before import, edit element settings and mange both file size and polygon count to improved the speed of your Archicad model.

Integrated Design | Increased Productivity | Better Presentations
“Archicad has, at the end of the day, given us a tool with which to be much better architects, and we want to fully utilize that in order to achieve a high level of design”
– David Grooms, Principal, Vega Architecture
“It’s an opportunity for software simplification. We consolidated multiple seats of AutoCAD, Revit, 3dsMax and Lumion into Archicad licenses.”
– Jerrod Nichols, Project Manager, Fuse Architecture
“We used to use SketchUp a lot more in early design but find we need it less and less when using Archicad.”
– Stefan Hampden, Principal, CAST Architecture
“If you immerse a client in BIMx, they’re going to see it. They’re gonna see the scale, relationship, the size, the quality of that space in materials. So, they’ll get an excellent idea of what their project is really about.”
– Thomas C. Levi, Principal, LWDA
“It’s elevated our interview process, collaboration with clients and communication with contractors. No other program provides “real-time” coordination with our consultants as we can with BIMcloud.”
– Jeannie Bertolaccini, Principal, Ordiz-Melby Architects
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. Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how to…
- Shift BIM earlier into the design process
- Incorporate “real-time” visualization such as Twinmotion with the Unreal Engine
- Use mobile apps such as the BIMx Hyper-model for presentations, design review and on-site coordination.
The team at Scenario Architecture is increasingly using real-time visualization in their design process. “I don’t wait anymore,” says Teodora Iancu, one of Scenario’s Architectural Designers. “As soon as I have an idea, I draw it in ARCHICAD and then one click away, it’s there for me to see” in Twinmotion. He says “it’s become intrinsic to our design.”

While in the midst of a conversion to another BIM platform, Santa Cruz-based Fuse Architects happened to catch an employee quietly using Archicad to save time on a project. It led to a change in direction that opened a new world of efficiency and possibility.
A workflow that lets ideas flow faster.
Discover how Fuse Architects changed their workflow. Accessing intuitive design tools in Archicad, enabling integrated workflow, and automating documentation processes improved the firm’s productivity, communication and profitability.
When you work with a software that continues to innovate, refine and build efficiency – you can transform your practice. Join us on February 10 as we demonstrate how to make this happen at your firm.
High Quality Graphics for Presentation and Detailing
A complaint we often hear is the poor quality of documentation output from BIM or CAD solutions. As Fuse Architects discovered Archicad not only produces beautiful documentation but has the flexibility to be used for material boards, presentations, construction documents and much more.
“We saw Archicad and made a decision based on quality…whats going to help our design, our customers and general contractors“
– Dan Townsend, Partner
Quickly Visualize your Ideas from Concept to Reality
Archicad’s professional architectural visualization tools translate your conceptual designs into compelling imagery. We invite you to learn how Fuse uses Archicad to bring models to life, inspire the development of ideas and invite clients to engage with their designs.
- Understand why Fuse Architects have seen impressive productivity gains as well as elevated creativity and improved coordination on projects since implementing a “design focused” BIM process.
- Discuss how an integrated 3D design workflow allows teams to contribute ideas to a shared model that offers limitless exploration without having to switch to different software for visualization, presentation or documentation.
- Identify rapid concepting strategies that can engage AEC partners earlier in the design process, allowing contractors to explore the 3D model in real time to discuss ideas and identify efficiencies.
- Illustrate the steps to improve client engagement with tools such as BIMx, virtual reality and real-time visualization that turn models into rich, detailed 3D immersive experiences.
“We use the software for all aspects of our work – plans, elevations, 3D drawings – all the way down to interior elevation packages with accurate tile patterns, even cabinet shop drawings.” – Brett Davis, New Leaf Custom Homes
Interior Designers are currently looking into new technologies to see how they can help them improve the different aspects of their work. How does it enhance their Design, Presentation, Documentation, and Site Coordination? Can it increase their profitability?
In this webinar we are joined by Elizabeth Ellis, principal at Elizabeth Ellis Interior Design, who specializes in high-end residential interior design and commercial projects.
Elizabeth has been ahead of the curve in leveraging state-of-the-art technologies including Matterport Scanning, Point Clouds, BIM, BIMx, VR, and AR, to maximize the efficiency of her firm. We will shed light on how she streamlined her workflow to optimize her productivity and produce impactful designs.
- Visualize materials with refined detail
- Enhanced image quality on high resolution displays
- Increased speed when working on high polygon objects
- Multiple model management for simultaneous editing
- Batch import to save time converting third party models
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.
