High level review of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the concepts. We will discuss strategies for organizing a BIM project, how to establish modeling requirements and methods to integrating BIM based on project size and type.
Part of a 6-Part Course on Implementing BIM into Architecture.
BIM adoption is more about process change than technology adoption. So for many, the question is not when to adopt but how – how to get started, how to leverage BIM to its full extent, how to implement BIM in different project environments, and how to set up the necessary processes and protocols to maximize the benefits. The answers to these questions and more are covered in the Implementing BIM into Architecture series.
Reviews the challenges and opportunities when you implement BIM early in the project as well as how to integrate BIM with popular design tools, such as SketchUp or Rhino, that are commonly used by architects in the design phase.

Explores the visualization technologies available internal to BIM authoring tools as well as a review of cutting-edge third party products that not only enhance the quality of renderings but provide a faster, easier to use process for producing visualization.

If setup correctly a BIM model can produce documents without a lot of rework and with the graphic output quality firms have come to expect from past CAD programs. We will discuss methods to adopt your existing standards within a BIM program as well as new opportunities for 3D documentation.

We will review how BIM is used for collaboration locally within an office as well as externally through the internet. We will review BIM Server applications available within BIM tools as well as growing opportunities for Cloud-Based BIM services.

In this session we will discuss energy analysis tools, how to setup a BIM model for LEED requirements and modeling methods that will allow a BIM model to work efficiently with these analysis tools as well as avoid common problems.

What a better way to end your day than with like-minded Archicad Users! Grab a beverage and settle in to join this virtual conversation. We’ll share best practices and exchange ideas for making the most of Archicad; celebrate the accomplishments of fellow users; and network with each other.
At this User Group you will also have the opportunity to:
– Discover what the latest release of ARCHICAD brings;
– Discuss software management strategies and best practices for rolling out new versions of ARCHICAD;
– Exchange ideas, ask questions and share your accomplishments with ARCHICAD and related BIM apps;
If there’s something you’d like to explore or if you’d like to share a recent discovery or project case study, please reach out to the event organizer, Tracie Simmons at [email protected]. We’re always looking for ways to help our users make the most of ARCHICAD.

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.
