Do you have questions about an ARCHICAD command, drafting process or modeling step? Need more information on a previous In-Practice or ARCHICAD Methods presentation? We invite you to join this online session where we focus on your most urgent challenges.
One of our coaches will be LIVE in an online open forum format to answer your queries. Even if you can’t think of tasks that have you stumped, you can benefit from those being faced by your peers.
Featured Coach: Thomas Simmons
Simmons is the Director of BIM at ARCHVISTA, Inc., a consulting company focused on the ARCHICAD implementation and project integration. He has extensive experience in BIM technology for building design, project management and construction.
In this In-Practice online session Andrew Passacantando will discuss how his firm uses ARCHICAD to design and detail residential projects including complex forms used in Mendham Shingle-Style construction, kitchen and bath renovations and historic residential projects.
Founded in April 1998, Passacantando Architects is a devoted firm focused on the high-end traditional residential market. They are driven by a passion for creating well designed architectural solutions that address client’s needs and desires in ways that are both innovative and respectful of tradition and craft, all through the magic of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Presenter: Andrew Passacantando
Andrew is an architect and licensed contractor located in Morristown, New Jersey. He has been an active member of the AIA Newark, an AIA Board Trustee, Member of the Architectural League of New York and current chairman for the Morris Township Historical Preservation Commission. He is very proficient with Graphisoft’s ARCHICAD Architectural Modeling Software which his office has been using since ARCHICAD Release 6.0.
In this candid panel discussion, one architectural principal shares what helped her make the switch from a CAD platform to BIM; and the extraordinary impact it had on her business.
For Lindsay Cullum-Colwell AIA, principal of luxury custom residential firm Cullum Homes, the switch to ARCHICAD has improved her team’s efficiency and provided a flexible workflow in which her designers can explore creatively. Cullum-Colwell has found numerous benefits since making that switch in 2016, and she will be sharing them (along with the challenges) in this candid discussion.
As a long-term user of ARCHICAD, Jared Banks, AIA, will also share his experiences in using ARCHICAD and discuss the process of adopting a new software, along with the features that support a design/build firm.
Jared and Lindsay will:
- Describe the process of adopting ARCHICAD
- Explain how the flexibility of ARCHICAD helps architects explore creatively on new designs
- Talk about features of ARCHICAD that serve the design build process
- Discuss strategies for making the software work best for custom residential
Join us to examine…
- How to model existing conditions quickly and accurately
- How to increase productivity with documentation and details of existing and new construction
- How to manage phases and renovation filters to control the display of drawings
In this presentation we will review an adaptive reuse project from Heather Young Architects that converts an existing 1980’s commercial building into a modern, open air structure. We will review how the HYA used Archicad to manage multiple tenant options, visualize the building renovation, document the project and communicate design intent with 3D based detailing.

In Archicad editing imported SketchUp objects can often be cumbersome and time consuming. With the recent update to ModelPort users can now import, edit and manage 2019 to 2022 SketchUp formats. We invite you to join one of our three webinars scheduled to coordinate with different time zones around the world.

We invite you to join one of our three webinars scheduled to coordinate with different time zones around the world.
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.

Are you building two models? First creating a design model in SketchUp then re-building the model for Revit, Vectorworks or another BIM program? Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how to eliminate lost productivity rebuilding SketchUp models. You’ll uncover how to design in BIM with a SketchUp style workflow while maintaining the model integrity through the entire design and documentation process. You’ll learn how to:
- Use BIM as a design tool similar to SketchUp.
- Use SketchUp style commands, such as Push Pull and Follow Me, as part of a BIM workflow.
- Avoid lost time and money rebuilding SketchUp models when transitioning to BIM.
Our clients start in Archicad at the beginning of design and seamlessly move into construction documents without rebuilding the model. Stefan Hampden of CAST Architecture in Seattle recently commented that “they used to use SketchUp a lot more in early design but find they need it less and less” when using Archicad.

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.”
Struggling with BIM in design? Losing productivity rebuilding SketchUp models? You’re not alone!
Firms are rethinking their approach to BIM as technology savvy clients expect more from architecture design services.
Join us as for a BIM in 30 Minutes webinar where we’ll discuss why architects and design professionals are shifting BIM earlier in the design process. We’ll review how this impacts 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 in the design phase with SketchUp style modeling, steps to create presentations with BIM similar to InDesign and methods to collaborate using immersive technologies such as BIMx.
An efficiency curve that keeps rising.
You’ll also hear from Fuse Architects, a firm that switched BIM platforms and has seen impressive productivity gains as well as elevated creativity and cohesion. Their teams work in 3D from the start of a concept or study, contributing ideas to a shared model that offers limitless exploration without having to switch to different software for visualization, presentation or documentation.
And they’re only getting started. Register to learn more at the webinar.
Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients expect architectural services to incorporate digital deliverables as part of the design process.
Join us to discover how to shift BIM earlier in design with SketchUp style modeling, using AI to help clients visualize concepts, reviewing design ideas through an interactive hyper-model and incorporating tools that manage iterations as you explore design options.
