Rethink the Future | Building Together | AIA California
Sep 2 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

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.

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.
