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.”

RALEIGH,NC/USA – 8-24-2018: The James B Hunt library on Centennial Campus of NC State University in Raleigh NC
Now more than ever, the community importance of school buildings is being recognized. Educational buildings must serve many functions beyond classroom education, such as providing essential social support services to the communities they serve. Multiple programming goals demand flexible spaces, and in addition, school design must focus on sustainability and security. Many firms are turning to BIM technology not only to lower costs and make the construction process more efficient, but also to design safer and better-performing school buildings. In this webinar, you will hear from a panel well-versed in using BIM for innovative educational projects who will share their experience and lessons learned.
Chris Ambridge AIA, is an Associate Principal at cg+s architects. Chris has been at the firm since 2004 and has worked mainly on k-12 education projects within the Washington DC area. Chris is particularly interested the design opportunities that arise from close collaboration across a team during the design and construction process.
Saravanan Bala, AIA, LEED-AP, NCARB, ALEP is the Principal of the Education Studio 
and is an Accredited Learning Environment Planner. He is an accomplished architect who has designed and managed several successful high schools around the state. Saravanan is a nationally recognized expert in evolutionary trends in curriculum, pedagogy and learning, and brings a wealth of research and data pertaining to the role educational environments can play to catalyze learning outcomes. He frequently presents at national and regional conferences and specializes in helping school districts developing their own pathways to achieving their educational goals.
Matt Johnson, RA is an Associate at Orcutt | Winslow specializing in K-8 design. His early experience with both commercial and hospitality architecture offers an understanding of complicated project design within large project teams and the practicalities of how a project comes to fruition. He has taken this experience and uses his passion and expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM) to continue to advance project design and constructability, to allow for complete project efficiency in an integrated delivery model. As the BIM advisor for Orcutt | Winslow Education, he counsels colleagues in how to set up projects for the greatest efficiency and is a resource for day-to-day BIM application. Matt is also a Faculty Associate at Arizona State University, teaching BIM to upper division architecture students. Beyond his technical capabilities, Matt has a passion for “…designing places and experiences that attempt to enhance, focus and give hope to the human experience on earth.” From his perspective educational design offers that opportunity within its own microcosm of the community.
A licensed architect since 2016, Eddie Van Slambrouck, LEED AP, ALEP Project Architect, QKA Architecture developed his interest in design from a wide array of experiences, from building backyard chicken coops to planning large infrastructure projects. Further, while earning his Master of Architecture degree, he received several jury prize awards that fueled his interest in digital media and 3D modeling – a skill that enables his clients to accurately visualize and approve the final project on screen before construction begins. In addition, as a LEED Accredited Professional since 2008, Van Slambrouck has a strong expertise in sustainable design and renewable energy systems.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how BIM can be used to improve the design and safety of buildings.
- Define how BIM can improve design adherence to the requirements of national and local codes.
- Explain how the different BIM modes of collaboration across disciplines improve the design and safety of buildings.
- List the ways in which BIM can assist designers in easily testing projects for sustainability and energy efficiency.
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”.

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.
