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…
ArchiFrame & ARCHICAD
ArchiFrame is an innovative design tool for framing structures that combines engineering with aesthetics. It is an ARCHICAD extension that provides for more
user-friendly wood and metal structuring and design.
Join us to examine how ArchiFrame:
• makes it easy to structure roofs, walls, floors, frames, panels, and wooden elements
• reshapes planks and beams in one click
• sits within your ARCHICAD file — including 3D models and 2D elevations with semi-automated layouts and listings
• improves processes and project management.
Discover why ArchiFrame is the ultimate end-to-end modeling software for wood and metal framing.
“ArchiFrame is a bridge between the design and the construction process. Design drawings in Archicad to light gauge steel frame construction drawings in ArchiFrame with Teamwork is a seamless process. Our company has been using this tool since 2016 and we completely love it. It saves time and money, providing a clear 3d visualization of the CORE structure to the workers on the field.”
