2D to 3D Without BIM
Feb 18 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Many architects still use 2D software in spite of the fact that 3D is increasingly implemented in design and construction. 3D often connotes BIM or Building Information Modeling, which can feel big and cumbersome.

– But it doesn’t have to be!

ArchiCAD’s all-in-one solution offers flexible 2D/3D tools not only for BIM modeling but also for non-BIM tasks such as:

  • Modeling with “Sketch-Up” style tools
  • Producing sketch and photo renderings
  • Developing presentations
  • Detailing production drawings
  • Generating building schedules
  • Improving drawing coordination
  • Accessing projects on mobile devices
  • and much more…
We will discuss how clients use ArchiCAD in a hybrid-BIM workflow that allows them to be more productive including…

Model Details | Quick 2D to 3D Conversion
Feb 10 @ 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm

Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how easy it is to convert 2D detail drawings into 3D model details. You’ll see how this technique can be used for different types of detailing including residential, commercial, retail and historical. Learn how to:

  • Convert a 2D drawing into a 3D detail.
  • Connect building materials to details for visualization and schedules.
  • Extract a 2D detail drawing from a 3D detail with annotation.

Timothy Ball with jhd Architects rarely draws in 2D. He prefers to resolve design and construction details in 3D. “You can’t fake it in 3D” says Ball. When you model in 3D with detail “you have the confidence that what you are designing can actually be built.”

5 Steps to Automate Documentation
Jul 14 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

The Key is Reducing Repetitive Tasks

There’s no doubt that creating drawings for design and construction documents can be tedious. But what’s often overlooked are the many repetitive tasks that can be streamlined to reduce errors and save time.

A survey by Graphisoft reported that architects who document a project with Archicad see an average productivity boost of 38%. Learn how firms automate and improve the accuracy of plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules.

Christopher Lee, Principal at Design Associates Architects, shared his experience… “my elevations are automatically generated, all my sections are automatically generated, all my schedules are being generated. Every time I drop a door or window in the plan, it lands on a schedule. All that background stuff is being managed automatically”.
