ModelPort 2.0 – New & Improved
Mar 12 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am
ModelPort 2.0 - New & Improved

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.

New ModelPort 2.0 Eases the Creation of ARCHICAD Object Libraries

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.

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…

ModelPort 3.0 | Working with SketchUp
Nov 30 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

In Archicad editing imported SketchUp objects can often be cumbersome and time consuming. With the recent update to ModelPort users can now import, edit and manage 2019 to 2022 SketchUp formats. We invite you to join one of our three webinars scheduled to coordinate with different time zones around the world.

Object Strategies | Optimizing Performance
Mar 30 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

We recently released support for Apple silicon that allows ModelPort to take full benefit of the new processor architecture and delivering faster performance. To demonstrate this new capability we performed comparison test running ModelPort natively in Archicad 26 for Apple Silicon and on Windows with significant increases in performance…

Import 1 : Detailed model from a manufacturer

  • 149 mb SKP file with 795,228 polygons
  • 11 seconds : ModelPort
  • 1 minute 41 seconds : Archicad

89% faster to import & view using ModelPort compared to Archicad’s default importer.

Import 2 : Residential model with landscaping

  • 32.3 mb SKP file with 1.9 million polygons
  • 10 seconds : ModelPort
  • 2 minutes 27 seconds : Archicad

93% faster to import & view using ModelPort compared to Archicad’s default importer.

Attend the webinar to learn more about how ModelPort can increase your performance on Archicad projects including faster time importing objects, reducing time waiting to view complex models and improving speed to edit imported objects.
