Real-Time Visualization for Design | Bainbridge
Feb 26 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Forward-thinking architecture firms and interior designers are increasingly leaning on real-time visualization to explore, evaluate, and present designs. By providing clients and project stakeholders the opportunity to experience spaces in interactive and immersive environments, real-time technology offers a compelling method for communication.

The next generation of architectural visualization tools is providing new ways to accelerate workflows. More intuitive user interfaces are drastically reducing learning curves, while offering new ways to quickly and easily connect to BIM software for increased productivity and faster iterations.

In this course you will learn:

  • A review of software solutions that offer real-time visualization.
  • How real-time visualization can be used as a design tool for architecture and interior design.
  • Hardware required to run real-time visualization solutions.
  • Process to integrate 3D BIM models and how you update project changes.
  • Adding and editing materials, lights, furnishings and landscape elements.
  • How to create and render still images and animations
  • The process to use real-time visualization with VR (virtual reality)

Model Details | Quick 2D to 3D Conversion
Feb 10 @ 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm

Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how easy it is to convert 2D detail drawings into 3D model details. You’ll see how this technique can be used for different types of detailing including residential, commercial, retail and historical. Learn how to:

  • Convert a 2D drawing into a 3D detail.
  • Connect building materials to details for visualization and schedules.
  • Extract a 2D detail drawing from a 3D detail with annotation.

Timothy Ball with jhd Architects rarely draws in 2D. He prefers to resolve design and construction details in 3D. “You can’t fake it in 3D” says Ball. When you model in 3D with detail “you have the confidence that what you are designing can actually be built.”

5 Steps to Automate Documentation
Jul 14 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

The Key is Reducing Repetitive Tasks

There’s no doubt that creating drawings for design and construction documents can be tedious. But what’s often overlooked are the many repetitive tasks that can be streamlined to reduce errors and save time.

A survey by Graphisoft reported that architects who document a project with Archicad see an average productivity boost of 38%. Learn how firms automate and improve the accuracy of plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules.

Christopher Lee, Principal at Design Associates Architects, shared his experience… “my elevations are automatically generated, all my sections are automatically generated, all my schedules are being generated. Every time I drop a door or window in the plan, it lands on a schedule. All that background stuff is being managed automatically”.
