Discover the Newest Method for Editing ARCHICAD Objects

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.

Interiors & Interoperability with ARCHICAD
Oct 15 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

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

Interior Design with ARCHICAD

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
About CJMW Architecture

For more than a century CJMW has provided a full range of planning, architectural and interior design services. An ARCHICAD firm since 2005, CJMW has produced award-winning work on restaurants, hotels, senior living communities, corporate offices, and public venues.

2D to 3D | Why Make the Transition to BIM | Bainbridge
Feb 26 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

If you’re still using 2D CAD such as AutoCAD or Vectorworks and you’re curious about BIM you should attend this seminar where we’ll introduce you to:

  • An overview of BIM (Building Information Modeling)
  • Advantages and benefits of an integrated 2D/3D workflow
  • How to create a smooth transition from traditional CAD to BIM

While 2D CAD systems are very powerful for drafting they fall short when coordinating project changes. This is why businesses are shifting to BIM to increase productivity and streamline a project’s workflow to:

  • Avoid mistakes due to different modifications
  • Improve the coordination between the different disciplines
  • Better analyze the building’s properties
  • and much more…
