Bridging Creativity with High Tech | Bainbridge
Feb 26 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients are expecting high-tech when it comes to architectural design services. This is leading businesses to rethink their design approach.

We will review how firms are adapting to this change by:

  • Shifting BIM earlier into the design process
  • Incorporating “real-time” visualization
  • Integrating immersive technologies such as Unreal Engine and HTC Vive
  • Using mobile apps such as the BIMx Hyper-model for presentations, design review and on-site coordination.

Join us to embark on a look at High-Tech in today’s creative workflow and glimpse the future where we envision how design technologies will impact the profession.

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)

ModelPort 3.0 | Working with SketchUp
Nov 30 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

In Archicad editing imported SketchUp objects can often be cumbersome and time consuming. With the recent update to ModelPort users can now import, edit and manage 2019 to 2022 SketchUp formats. We invite you to join one of our three webinars scheduled to coordinate with different time zones around the world.

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.
