Discover the new and improved ModelPort 2.0 – the leading object importer and editor for ARCHICAD. This latest release is more powerful than ever with new editing and viewing tools that work prior to and after importing objects into ARCHICAD. Change materials, textures, pen weights, fill colors and more. Plus reduce the file size and control the polygon count of objects improving both speed and performance. Oh, and did we mention, you can now access even more file types such as MODO, Lightwave and Blender just to name a few.
Join us to learn more and unleash a whole new world of ARCHICAD Objects with ModelPort 2.0.
With the release of ModelPort 2.0 downloading and managing ARCHICAD objects has never been easier. A plug-in to ARCHICAD, ModelPort opens the door to a wide variety of object types including OBJ, FBX and DAE as well as MODO, Blender and Lightwave. The latest editing tools provide the ability to change materials, textures, pen weights, and more. Plus you can view the object before and after importing it into ARCHICAD. Best of all, you can reduce the file size and control the polygon count of objects improving both speed and performance.
Join us to learn how ModelPort 2.0 can ease the creation and management of your ARCHICAD libraries.

Algorithmic Design Meets BIM
Discover how combining algorithmic design with BIM can be used to generate design concepts with tools such as ARCHICAD, Rhino and Grasshopper.
|
Influence of Gaming on Architecture
Explore the benefits of “real-time” rendering and how gaming engines are allowing architects to not just visualize a project but experience design. |
Immersive Design – VR to Mobile
Examine immersion technologies that support the architectural design process without breaking the bank including BIMx, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. |
Presenter:
- Thomas M. Simmons, President, ARCHVISTA Consulting
- Simmons was recently a speaker at the Graphisoft 2020GO Conference in Budapest and at the AIA California Monterey Design Conference. He has over 20 years of experience implementing BIM into architecture, interior design and construction companies ranging from small firms to multi-national corporations as well as management of the Architectural Record – Record Homes Virtual Tours and the award-winning NASA Virtual Tours.
What you will learn:
- Review technologies that increase your presentation effectiveness to help sell your design.
- Examine design and visualization solutions for architecture including BIMx, Rhino, Grasshopper, ARCHICAD, Unreal Engine and HTC Vive.
- Discover how architects use immersion technologies, through case studies, to improve the understanding of a project and create better design decisions.
- Explore how mobile and virtual reality are impacting methods for presenting and communicating in the design and construction phase.

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.
We will review how firms are adapting to this change by:
- Shifting BIM earlier into the design process
- Incorporating “real-time” visualization
- Integrating immersive technologies such as Unreal Engine and HTC Vive
- Using mobile apps such as the BIMx Hyper-model for presentations, design review and on-site coordination.
Join us to embark on a look at High-Tech in today’s creative workflow and glimpse the future where we envision how design technologies will impact the profession.
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)

ARCHICAD & Real-Time Rendering
- Sources for BIM objects and entourage for visualization including manufacturers and online library resources.
- Management of imported objects including how to customize materials, reduce polygon count and improve the speed of project models.
The webinar will be offered at two different times on May 6, so please select a time when registering.
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.

For most firms, renovation projects account for the majority of the workload but managing the various stages can be a struggle. During this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar discover how to quickly add existing conditions for demolition drawings and how this helps expedite the new design work. You’ll also uncover situations where existing conditions do not have to be completely modeled, as well as how to get your drawings to look the way you want them to look.
Join us to examine…
- How to model existing conditions quickly and accurately
- How to use existing conditions to produce better designs in less time
- How to manage phases and renovation filters to control the display of drawings to match company standards
For Passacantando Architects renovation is a big part of what they do and ARCHICAD makes the process a whole lot easier. “Using the renovation filter helped us see what needed to remain and what could be torn down, of course,” explained Andrew Passacantando when talking about the recent renovation of an historic home. “Showing the existing conditions and proposed changes made it easier for us to communicate with the folks involved in approving our ideas.”

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.”
