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.

Manage Detail of Imported Objects
May 18 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

You’re invited to learn how ModelPort can improve your Archicad workflow when editing and managing imported objects. In this webinar we’ll review how to control the detail level of imported objects using several examples…

Editing Models and Element Visibility

Third party and manufacturer models often need to be edited when imported to Archicad. We’ll review options in ModelPort to edit imported models and change the visibility of elements.

Using Model View Options with Imports – NEW

Learn about ModelPort’s NEW Model View Option feature that allows you to customize detail of imported objects and manage the level of detail using Model View Options.

Optimizing Performance with Polygon Management

The default Archicad import does not offer options to manage the performance of a model import. In this example we’ll review how to use Import from Archicadto edit an import, compress the file size and control the polygon count.
