In this ARCHICAD In-Practice session Riverstone Structural Engineering will review what info
rmation your structural engineer can take from the model to optimize their design and reduce overly conservative design assumptions. Harnessing the protocols you already have in place to streamline your structural engineers workflow, reducing guess work and timely back and forth coordination.
Riverstone Structural Concepts is recognized as one of the most innovative, client-centric engineering firms in the West. The firm specializes in commercial and industrial buildings as well as high-value homes. Their team integrates architectural and engineering software applications including Scia Engineer and ARCHICAD.
Presenter: Jake Timmons
Jake is an Associate at Riverstone Structural Concepts and serves as lead project manager for the residential design group. Jake uses the power of ARCHICAD, Scia and Tekla to manage the production and delivery of a superior level of project coordination, design optimization and 3-D live collaboration in every project. Using these cutting edge technologies, the Riverstone Structural Concepts residential design group is able to deliver an economically superior level of engineering by producing live 3-Dimensional structural drawings fully integrated within the architectural model complete with concrete and rebar volume take-offs, joist schedules, wood volumes and live 3-D structural details. This level of structural coordination has created a standard of engineering drawings that are second to none. Furthermore, the residential team thrives on the power of the multi-user BIM sever collaboration process. Every engineer and designer has an intimate working knowledge of the model they are in throughout the design phase and beyond.
Join this LEARNVIRTUAL Coaching Session as we uncover how to create structural elements in ARCHICAD. You’ll discover:
- How to create wall framing for plan, elevations and model using an ARCHICAD add-on.
- How to generate a roof framing for rafters, collars, ties, beams, blocking and hip rafters.
- How to use the Beam Tool, Column Tool, Object Tool and TrussMaker to create custom framing.
We will jump into ARCHICAD LIVE to review these commands and processes. You’ll also get the chance to have your questions answered by our experienced coach.
This Coaching Session is an excellent complement to last week’s ARCHICAD In-Practice Session on Working with a Structural Engineer.
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.
Motivated by new technologies, a rising wave of architects are designing with BIM to create inspiring architecture, interior design and urban planning. Join us to discover why firms from around the country are using ARCHICAD, BIMx, Rhino and Grasshopper to push the boundaries of creativity and collaboration in ways never before imagined.

ArchiFrame & ARCHICAD
ArchiFrame is an innovative design tool for framing structures that combines engineering with aesthetics. It is an ARCHICAD extension that provides for more
user-friendly wood and metal structuring and design.
Join us to examine how ArchiFrame:
• makes it easy to structure roofs, walls, floors, frames, panels, and wooden elements
• reshapes planks and beams in one click
• sits within your ARCHICAD file — including 3D models and 2D elevations with semi-automated layouts and listings
• improves processes and project management.
Discover why ArchiFrame is the ultimate end-to-end modeling software for wood and metal framing.
“ArchiFrame is a bridge between the design and the construction process. Design drawings in Archicad to light gauge steel frame construction drawings in ArchiFrame with Teamwork is a seamless process. Our company has been using this tool since 2016 and we completely love it. It saves time and money, providing a clear 3d visualization of the CORE structure to the workers on the field.”
– Yuga Chaudhari Building Technology Manager, Healthy Buildings Management Group
