Architecture is going through a fundamental shift in how designers communicate ideas. Today’s clients are technology savvy and becoming more comfortable with interactive design immersion technologies such as iPads, BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. We invite you to join this presentation to learn how mobile and virtual reality technologies are changing the way architects interact with clients, consultants, contractors and other stakeholders.

Editing objects for ARCHICAD is often cumbersome and time consuming. With ModelPort 2.0‘s new Viewer & Editor tool this tedious task has become much easier. Discover how parametric editing allows you to control materials, textures, texture placement, pen weights, fill color and more. You’ll uncover how to:
- Edit selected items by object or by material.
- Control settings by selections within the item list.
- Set the object scale, rotation, material, transparency, graphics and other properties.
- Preview an object or model before importing into ARCHICAD.
- Review an object in perspective, floor plan, elevation or graphic view.
Join us for this webinar as we review how to select elements in the ModelPort Viewer, how to use the parametric editor and how to edit the ModelPort 2D symbol and 3D model. Creating ARCHICAD objects has never been easier.

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 by shifting BIM earlier into the design process, generating ideas with algorithmic design, incorporating “real-time” visualization, and integrating immersive technologies such as BIMx, Unreal Engine and HTC Vive into their workflow. 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. 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.

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.
- 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.”
