While in the midst of a conversion to another BIM platform, Santa Cruz-based Fuse Architects happened to catch an employee quietly using Archicad to save time on a project. It led to a change in direction that opened a new world of efficiency and possibility.
A workflow that lets ideas flow faster.
Discover how Fuse Architects changed their workflow. Accessing intuitive design tools in Archicad, enabling integrated workflow, and automating documentation processes improved the firm’s productivity, communication and profitability.
When you work with a software that continues to innovate, refine and build efficiency – you can transform your practice. Join us on February 10 as we demonstrate how to make this happen at your firm.
High Quality Graphics for Presentation and Detailing
A complaint we often hear is the poor quality of documentation output from BIM or CAD solutions. As Fuse Architects discovered Archicad not only produces beautiful documentation but has the flexibility to be used for material boards, presentations, construction documents and much more.
“We saw Archicad and made a decision based on quality…whats going to help our design, our customers and general contractors“
– Dan Townsend, Partner
Quickly Visualize your Ideas from Concept to Reality
Archicad’s professional architectural visualization tools translate your conceptual designs into compelling imagery. We invite you to learn how Fuse uses Archicad to bring models to life, inspire the development of ideas and invite clients to engage with their designs.
- Understand why Fuse Architects have seen impressive productivity gains as well as elevated creativity and improved coordination on projects since implementing a “design focused” BIM process.
- Discuss how an integrated 3D design workflow allows teams to contribute ideas to a shared model that offers limitless exploration without having to switch to different software for visualization, presentation or documentation.
- Identify rapid concepting strategies that can engage AEC partners earlier in the design process, allowing contractors to explore the 3D model in real time to discuss ideas and identify efficiencies.
- Illustrate the steps to improve client engagement with tools such as BIMx, virtual reality and real-time visualization that turn models into rich, detailed 3D immersive experiences.
TOPIC: Site and Interior Point Clouds from Drones and Matterport
Presenters:
– Stefan Hampden, CAST architecture
– Dylan Hampden, CAST architecture
– Link Ellis, Elizabeth Ellis Interior Design
If you’ve ever thought about using point clouds and laser scans to produce as-built drawings and 3D models, this Archicad User Group is for you.
The team from CAST architecture will share how they’re using drones to create point clouds and photogrammetry for site models. While Link Ellis with Elizabeth Ellis Interior Design will share how they’re using Matterport technology to generate point cloud models for interiors.

TOPIC: Specification Schedule using Zones and Objects
Presenters:
– David Marlatt, DNM Architecture
Often we need to include tables in our documents regarding product specs, code issues or other information which is not dependent on elements in the model. The solution has been to create an external spreadsheet, publish a PDF and link this to a layout, but this can be cumbersome, sometimes links are lost, and not everyone on the team may understand where the information resides.
Still a work-in-progress, DNM Architecture will present an “Archicad hack” that adds tables to layouts and stores the information directly in the Archicad file. Using a combination of Zones and Objects the table contents can be edited directly in the Archicad schedule or in the object settings. Items can be added or removed from the table by dragging them in or out of the zone. A library of “schedule objects” (e.g. wood windows, metal windows, code sections, plumbing fixtures, finishes) can be created and stored in the Archicad template, ready to be used by dragging into the relevant zone.

AXIOM Design + Build
One of our design build clients, Jeff Prose with Mortise, shared how “Archicad lets us easily switch between a 3D BIM model and 2D plans using a single file for all project information, it’s a huge productivity gain. We can quickly pull the building apart in a 3D environment, drilling down deep into the elevation views and tiniest of details to identify potential work-stopping problems ahead of time.” 
“We use the software for all aspects of our work – plans, elevations, 3D drawings – all the way down to interior elevation packages with accurate tile patterns, even cabinet shop drawings.” – Brett Davis, New Leaf Custom Homes

Interior Designers are currently looking into new technologies to see how they can help them improve the different aspects of their work. How does it enhance their Design, Presentation, Documentation, and Site Coordination? Can it increase their profitability?
In this webinar we are joined by Elizabeth Ellis, principal at Elizabeth Ellis Interior Design, who specializes in high-end residential interior design and commercial projects.
Elizabeth has been ahead of the curve in leveraging state-of-the-art technologies including Matterport Scanning, Point Clouds, BIM, BIMx, VR, and AR, to maximize the efficiency of her firm. We will shed light on how she streamlined her workflow to optimize her productivity and produce impactful designs.
“For renovation projects, I will use my Matterport camera to scan the entire project, then I will drop the point cloud into Archicad and start modeling from that.” – Elizabeth Ellis
