Bay Area ARCHICAD User Group
Apr 1 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Due to restrictions surrounding COVID-19, we have decided to make this ARCHICAD User Group a VIRTUAL one. Since it’s virtual and many of us are at home, we’ve also decided to hold it at 4pm instead of the typical 6pm so you can have your evening free.

TOPIC: Working Remotely with ARCHICAD
There are a number of things to consider when setting you and your team up to work remotely. During this session we will discuss:
– Methods for accessing your license – individual vs network
– Making sure home computers can handle ARCHICAD
– Methods for managing project files, external links and teamwork

If there’s something you’d like to explore or if you’d like to share a recent discovery or project case study, let us know – [email protected] or 800-522-05554. We’re always looking for ways to help our users make the most of ARCHICAD.

Engage Clients | Mobile & Real-Time Visualization
Apr 14 @ 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm

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.”
