While in the midst of a conversion to another BIM platform, Santa Cruz-based Fuse Architects happened to catch an employee quietly using Archicad to save time on a project. It led to a change in direction that opened a new world of efficiency and possibility.
A workflow that lets ideas flow faster.
Discover how Fuse Architects changed their workflow. Accessing intuitive design tools in Archicad, enabling integrated workflow, and automating documentation processes improved the firm’s productivity, communication and profitability.
When you work with a software that continues to innovate, refine and build efficiency – you can transform your practice. Join us on February 10 as we demonstrate how to make this happen at your firm.
High Quality Graphics for Presentation and Detailing
A complaint we often hear is the poor quality of documentation output from BIM or CAD solutions. As Fuse Architects discovered Archicad not only produces beautiful documentation but has the flexibility to be used for material boards, presentations, construction documents and much more.
“We saw Archicad and made a decision based on quality…whats going to help our design, our customers and general contractors“
– Dan Townsend, Partner
Quickly Visualize your Ideas from Concept to Reality
Archicad’s professional architectural visualization tools translate your conceptual designs into compelling imagery. We invite you to learn how Fuse uses Archicad to bring models to life, inspire the development of ideas and invite clients to engage with their designs.
- Understand why Fuse Architects have seen impressive productivity gains as well as elevated creativity and improved coordination on projects since implementing a “design focused” BIM process.
- Discuss how an integrated 3D design workflow allows teams to contribute ideas to a shared model that offers limitless exploration without having to switch to different software for visualization, presentation or documentation.
- Identify rapid concepting strategies that can engage AEC partners earlier in the design process, allowing contractors to explore the 3D model in real time to discuss ideas and identify efficiencies.
- Illustrate the steps to improve client engagement with tools such as BIMx, virtual reality and real-time visualization that turn models into rich, detailed 3D immersive experiences.
AXIOM Design + Build
One of our design build clients, Jeff Prose with Mortise, shared how “Archicad lets us easily switch between a 3D BIM model and 2D plans using a single file for all project information, it’s a huge productivity gain. We can quickly pull the building apart in a 3D environment, drilling down deep into the elevation views and tiniest of details to identify potential work-stopping problems ahead of time.” 
“We use the software for all aspects of our work – plans, elevations, 3D drawings – all the way down to interior elevation packages with accurate tile patterns, even cabinet shop drawings.” – Brett Davis, New Leaf Custom Homes
Interior Designers are currently looking into new technologies to see how they can help them improve the different aspects of their work. How does it enhance their Design, Presentation, Documentation, and Site Coordination? Can it increase their profitability?
In this webinar we are joined by Elizabeth Ellis, principal at Elizabeth Ellis Interior Design, who specializes in high-end residential interior design and commercial projects.
Elizabeth has been ahead of the curve in leveraging state-of-the-art technologies including Matterport Scanning, Point Clouds, BIM, BIMx, VR, and AR, to maximize the efficiency of her firm. We will shed light on how she streamlined her workflow to optimize her productivity and produce impactful designs.
“For renovation projects, I will use my Matterport camera to scan the entire project, then I will drop the point cloud into Archicad and start modeling from that.” – Elizabeth Ellis
- Visualize materials with refined detail
- Enhanced image quality on high resolution displays
- Increased speed when working on high polygon objects
- Multiple model management for simultaneous editing

Are you building two models? First creating a design model in SketchUp then re-building the model for Revit, Vectorworks or another BIM program? Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how to eliminate lost productivity rebuilding SketchUp models. You’ll uncover how to design in BIM with a SketchUp style workflow while maintaining the model integrity through the entire design and documentation process. You’ll learn how to:
- Use BIM as a design tool similar to SketchUp.
- Use SketchUp style commands, such as Push Pull and Follow Me, as part of a BIM workflow.
- Avoid lost time and money rebuilding SketchUp models when transitioning to BIM.
Our clients start in Archicad at the beginning of design and seamlessly move into construction documents without rebuilding the model. Stefan Hampden of CAST Architecture in Seattle recently commented that “they used to use SketchUp a lot more in early design but find they need it less and less” when using Archicad.

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”.
