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…

Interiors & Interoperability with ARCHICAD
Oct 15 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Join the Interior Design team from CJMW Architecture as they share their experiences in using BIM to collaborate, improve communication and reduce project errors!

Interior Design with ARCHICAD

Based in North Carolina, the team at CJMW Architecture have long used Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the efficiency it brings to their entire design process – from concept development through to presentation. With ARCHICAD as their BIM solution, the Interior Design team are able to easily collaborate with external stakeholders who sometimes use different BIM software products. Best of all, they can maintain their preferred level of skill, design and detailing, without compromising on the accurate sharing of data or project information.

In this webinar, members of the CJMW Interior Design team will demonstrate how the use of BIM has not only improved their design processes, but also changed their design techniques and methodology – ultimately resulting in better interior architecture. Providing real-world examples of this tried-and-true workflow, they will also show ARCHICAD ‘ups their design game’; improves client relations and communication; and delivers accurate documentation that can reduce errors on the job site.

By the end of this webinar, attendees will uncover:

  • The design process that CJMW developed using ARCHICAD
  • How applying that process can streamline a broken workflow (no more doubling work)
  • How ARCHICAD handles detailed and complex design
  • How built-in features of ARCHICAD enhance client understanding of design intent
About CJMW Architecture

For more than a century CJMW has provided a full range of planning, architectural and interior design services. An ARCHICAD firm since 2005, CJMW has produced award-winning work on restaurants, hotels, senior living communities, corporate offices, and public venues.

Real-Time Visualization for Design | Bainbridge
Feb 26 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Forward-thinking architecture firms and interior designers are increasingly leaning on real-time visualization to explore, evaluate, and present designs. By providing clients and project stakeholders the opportunity to experience spaces in interactive and immersive environments, real-time technology offers a compelling method for communication.

The next generation of architectural visualization tools is providing new ways to accelerate workflows. More intuitive user interfaces are drastically reducing learning curves, while offering new ways to quickly and easily connect to BIM software for increased productivity and faster iterations.

In this course you will learn:

  • A review of software solutions that offer real-time visualization.
  • How real-time visualization can be used as a design tool for architecture and interior design.
  • Hardware required to run real-time visualization solutions.
  • Process to integrate 3D BIM models and how you update project changes.
  • Adding and editing materials, lights, furnishings and landscape elements.
  • How to create and render still images and animations
  • The process to use real-time visualization with VR (virtual reality)
