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

- Want access to more objects for Archicad?
- Have problems editing imported objects?
- Do imported objects slow your model performance?
If the answer is yes, then it’s time to rethink how you work with imported objects!
Join us to discover how you can preview models before import, edit element settings and mange both file size and polygon count to improved the speed of your Archicad model.
Compare ModelPort to Archicad’s Standard Features
ModelPort 2.0 adds a lot of productivity and management features that are not offered in Archicad. See how they compare.
About ModelPort
Downloading and managing ARCHICAD objects has never been easier. Import, edit and change settings for a wide variety of objects, including OBJ, FBX, MODO, Lightwave and Blender and more.
With ModelPort you can preview models before import as well as edit material, texture, texture placement, pen weight, fill color and more with powerful parametric editing tools.
You can also manage imported models and objects to reduce file size and control the polygon count thus improving speed and performance. Learn more about ModelPort.

Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients are expecting high-tech when it comes to architectural design services. This is leading businesses to rethink their design approach. Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how to…
- Shift BIM earlier into the design process
- Incorporate “real-time” visualization such as Twinmotion with the Unreal Engine
- Use mobile apps such as the BIMx Hyper-model for presentations, design review and on-site coordination.
The team at Scenario Architecture is increasingly using real-time visualization in their design process. “I don’t wait anymore,” says Teodora Iancu, one of Scenario’s Architectural Designers. “As soon as I have an idea, I draw it in ARCHICAD and then one click away, it’s there for me to see” in Twinmotion. He says “it’s become intrinsic to our design.”

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.
“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
