Integral Architecture
When working in BIM there is a lot of information that is contained within the model. Wouldn’t it be great to visualize that information in a way that is meaningful? “One of the most intriguing improvements to ARCHICAD as of late is the ability to selectively visualize the ‘information’ buried within the model,” said Evangelo Kalmantis, Principal of Integral Architecture in Ontario. His firm has created a methodology for doing just that using a combination of ARCHICAD’s Property Manager tool and Graphic Overrides feature. With a few presets that can easily be switched on his team can see whatever they want within a model at a glance. Their goal is to use this information as a quality control mechanism. Join this ARCHICAD In-Practice webinar to discover how Integral Architecture visualizes embedded model information.

jhd Architects
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. “And you have the confidence that what you are designing can actually be built. It’s really the development of the idea of a virtual building.” This philosophy allows Ball to build a project from the safety of his computer, then hand over the prototype to the builder knowing that it is done right.
KA Designworks
With the ever increasing affordability of high end rendering computers, VR experiences are no longer a service offered by large, expensive firms. In this webinar we will explore the practical use of ARCHICAD and Twinmotion to bring projects to life. Allowing clients to “feel” the space in three dimensions is a huge leap forward as compared to reading 2D drawings and renderings. This is an amazing benefit for both the client and the architect as it saves time and money for both. We will explore the entire process of bringing this engaging technology to clients, from the hardware basics to the implementation of the software and its real world applications.

You’ll uncover how associate design and Grasshopper allow for a new way of designing and how it changes the workflow.
b9 architects
b9 architects works with a variety of clients and project types, with its work primarily located in Seattle and western Washington. Through our use of software, we share information in a myriad of settings, a form of articulated data, through BIM and other supporting technology/software. Our projects require meetings with city planners, consultants, neighborhood groups, politicians, colleagues and our clients. With our use of software, we respond to public comments and questions in an organized forum or informal meeting, we work internally to develop our design concepts, produce images for marketing efforts and produce documentation of each or our projects. This talk will explore how we use ArchiCAD specifically to support this process.

We will explore creating a detailed, but not too detailed, Base Model appropriate to generate various 2D and 3D outputs. We’ll use Graphic Overrides, 3D Styles, and a few other techniques to configure those outputs. We’ll discuss the merits and limitations of these methods as well as how they mesh with other parts of your ARCHICAD workflow.
Teamwork-1
Gain an understanding of the Graphisoft BIM Server, which acts as a central file storage, document and version management tool. It is also a powerful framework for facilitating interaction and collaboration between architects working with multiple ArchiCAD instances on the same project file from remote locations over the Internet.
JHD Architects
As much as we all love ARCHICAD, it is only a tool. In order to make a good profit, we must get the best out of it. Join this In-Practice Presentation to discover how to leverage your investment in software and training to increase practice profits.
Timothy Ball, with JHD Architects, a modest residential practice in Tunbridge Wells, shares how his firm developed workflows and systems that help them achieve a very good profit. The key to their workflow is to embed all the construction documentation required into a single ARCHICAD file.
Without good communication, quality drawings and detailed specifications, experience shows that you can lose a lot of money on site. You end up spending extra time on site dealing with problems, often delaying the job and incurring extras that you then have to explain to the client. That hits your profit and your reputation.
By creating systems with ARCHICAD and heavily using favorites, you can turn confusion into understanding. Plus, these methods require less staff, which further increases profits. The goal is to never model or specify twice – do it once and save it for re-use.
UHA London
Getting details just right on your designs without overloading your model can be a bit tricky. In this ARCHICAD In-Practice session, Jamie Ingram with UHA London demonstrates different techniques for modeling complex assemblies and construction systems. His methods include custom library parts creation, optioneering filters and the new railing tool. All the details can then be extracted directly from the model, and be kept live, in a true BIM workflow without requiring any 2D drafting at all. This level of detail is applied only in certain areas of the model, to keep the overall polygon count under control.
Lawson Willard
Discover how Jeff’s four-person firm remodeled an existing 100-year old home in San Francisco, a $32-million-dollar project that grew to 11,000 square feet, with the help of ARCHICAD. Only the façade of the double-wide house was left untouched as the redesign went forward; every element, inside and out, was custom, except for door hardware, and even that was finished on-site. Jeff will demonstrate how ARCHICAD helped his team model complex, detailed wooden walls, doors, an elliptical spiral stair made of oak, an elliptical gazebo made with a single pour of cast concrete, the gazebo’s elliptical copper roof, and more. Using the MORPH tool, in particular, helped Jeff model complex geometric shapes accurately. Modelling everything in ARCHICAD made the design possible and easy to communicate. It also eased construction by enabling workers in the field to envision the complex final product.
ARCHVISTA
The success of using ARCHICAD on any project is in part due to it’s flexibility to model design elements that have custom forms. In this seminar we will review several projects including a modern residence on the California coast and an historic library conversion in Alameda that both showcase how to architects, builders and designers can create an ARCHICAD model with a high level of detail. Join us as we discuss quick methods to add detail to your projects with profiles, reduce time creating design elements using custom components and review how to recreate historical detailing within a BIM model.

And those consultants might live anywhere, from Denver to Seattle, or even further afield.
OWP
In this In-Practice session Ashley Mulhall and Chuck Kottka discuss how OWP uses ARCHICAD in sustainable design to meet the challenges of certification programs like LEED v4 and The Living Building Challenge. Sustainable Building Design at the highest level requires an in-depth and fine-tuned design process. And tools are scattered across various platforms, some within ARCHICAD, others independent. The search for the perfect tool is never over and the stakes are high. Today’s standards require more than BIM.

In this In-Practice session Aaron Jobson of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects will discuss Folia, a pre-engineered and pre-fabricated two story classroom building that can cut project delivery time in half while also reducing cost by 15% or more, all with no compromise in building quality. They achieved these results through an intense collaboration that treated design and construction as one process. Critical to the successful development of Folia was an integrated, high definition BIM workflow. Throughout the multi-stage design process QKA’s ArchiCAD Model was linked with GPLA’s Tekla Structural model and Blach’s Tekla fabrication model. There was also further integration through IFC with design and fabrication models from Mechanical Engineers and sub-contractors.

Walker Warner Architects
Patrick May, the Digital Design Coordinator at Walker Warner Architects, reviews why modeling directly in a BIM authoring tool (ARCHICAD) is best for the project workflow when performed as early as possible. Using drafting or other 3D modeling tools can impede a smooth workflow. It forces designers to redo work, double up on modeling and drawing efforts, and potentially reduces accuracy or reinterpretation of design intent. In this presentation Patrick will give an overview of a project and program that has been designed almost entirely in ARCHICAD and show steps that can allow you to design directly in ARCHICAD and Future Proof your BIM workflow.
