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…
Attend a seminar to learn more about how these firms and others are improving business with ArchiCAD.

AIA California invites you to hear from a selection of Graphisoft clients that are part of By Design, an award-winning digital series that explores the benefits of BIM in design, effects of the COVID crisis and a vision for “live” integrated collaboration.
Presented by Thomas M. Simmons, President of ARCHVISTA Consulting, this webinar explores
how California architects are adapting to a new business climate by migrating to a design focused BIM process, adapting “live” integrated design collaboration and using hyper-models for presentations.
He will share video excerpts of interviews with KAA Design Group, Studio Como, QKA and Yates Construction where they will discuss how they’re adapting to a time of disruption and plans for increased competition.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how “live” integrated design can help your firm stay competitive and decrease the project schedule.
- Review new technologies for design collaboration including BIMcloud and BIMx.
- Understand why COVID is accelerating BIM implementation and its effect on collaboration in the AEC industry.
- Explore why a crisis is the best time for a business to make a change in technology, culture and process.

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.”

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”.

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.
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 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.
