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.

Rethink BIM | Design to Virtual Reality
Mar 20 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Rethink BIM | Design to Virtual Reality @ AIA San Francisco

Struggling with BIM in design? Are your clients requiring interactive 3D models or Virtual Reality? You’re not alone!

Firms are rethinking their approach to BIM as technology savvy clients expect more from architecture design services.

Join us to hear architects discuss why they’re shifting BIM earlier in the design process, how this is impacting their business profitability and why a growing number of firms are switching to ARCHICAD, a design focused BIM platform. We’ll discuss how to use ARCHICAD as a design tool including as a replacement to SketchUp, to develop project presentations and as a bridge to immersion technologies such as BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

You’ll hear firms discuss their strategies for using BIM in the design phase including…
  • Laney LA
  • Joseph Vance Architects
  • CORE Architecture
  • KA DesignWorks
  • CAST Architecture
  • HapstakDemetriou+

What you will learn:

  • Discover why firms are rethinking their approach to BIM.
  • Discuss the impact of technology savvy clients and their expectations for architectural design services.
  • Understand the opportunity for presenting your design ideas through interactive 3D models or virtual reality such as BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
  • Learn why architects are increasingly switching to ARCHICAD’s design focused platform.

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.

ARCHICAD & Real-Time Rendering

Real-time rendering when combined with ARCHICAD offers a powerful combination for design and visualization.
Join this webinar to discover:
  • 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.
