In this ARCHICAD In-Practice session Riverstone Structural Engineering will review what info
rmation your structural engineer can take from the model to optimize their design and reduce overly conservative design assumptions. Harnessing the protocols you already have in place to streamline your structural engineers workflow, reducing guess work and timely back and forth coordination.
Riverstone Structural Concepts is recognized as one of the most innovative, client-centric engineering firms in the West. The firm specializes in commercial and industrial buildings as well as high-value homes. Their team integrates architectural and engineering software applications including Scia Engineer and ARCHICAD.
Presenter: Jake Timmons
Jake is an Associate at Riverstone Structural Concepts and serves as lead project manager for the residential design group. Jake uses the power of ARCHICAD, Scia and Tekla to manage the production and delivery of a superior level of project coordination, design optimization and 3-D live collaboration in every project. Using these cutting edge technologies, the Riverstone Structural Concepts residential design group is able to deliver an economically superior level of engineering by producing live 3-Dimensional structural drawings fully integrated within the architectural model complete with concrete and rebar volume take-offs, joist schedules, wood volumes and live 3-D structural details. This level of structural coordination has created a standard of engineering drawings that are second to none. Furthermore, the residential team thrives on the power of the multi-user BIM sever collaboration process. Every engineer and designer has an intimate working knowledge of the model they are in throughout the design phase and beyond.
Join this LEARNVIRTUAL Coaching Session as we uncover how to create structural elements in ARCHICAD. You’ll discover:
- How to create wall framing for plan, elevations and model using an ARCHICAD add-on.
- How to generate a roof framing for rafters, collars, ties, beams, blocking and hip rafters.
- How to use the Beam Tool, Column Tool, Object Tool and TrussMaker to create custom framing.
We will jump into ARCHICAD LIVE to review these commands and processes. You’ll also get the chance to have your questions answered by our experienced coach.
This Coaching Session is an excellent complement to last week’s ARCHICAD In-Practice Session on Working with a Structural Engineer.
Featured Coach: Thomas Simmons
Simmons is the Director of BIM at ARCHVISTA, Inc., a consulting company focused on the ARCHICAD implementation and project integration. He has extensive experience in BIM technology for building design, project management and construction.
Examine how to create and standardize Title Blocks & Layouts in ARCHICAD including the steps to defining standard Titleblocks, setting up auto-text to automate sheet project information and office standards for output of printing, PDF’s, DWG and other output formats. This lesson is part of a series on Creating Powerful ARCHICAD Standards.
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.
