It’s time for Seattle area ARCHICAD users to get together and talk shop. This month we’re going to talk about existing conditions and importing point clouds into ARCHICAD.

I probably should have talked to a few more architects before applying to architecture school. But honestly that thought never even crossed my mind.

This post is by Ferenc Traser, a Product Designer at GRAPHISOFT. In it, he talks about the development of Point Clouds in ARCHICAD 19 (and beyond).

BIMQ CEO Christian Ehl shares his thoughts on the data-driven building and why the construction industry needs to reinvent itself in 2016.

I was one of those kids that always wanted to be an architect. When I was in first grade an architect came to our class. At least I think he was an architect.

Getting the most out of ARCHICAD and/or BIM is about finding the balance between the automation provided by the program and manual processes that give you complete control.

One other pet peeve of mine is to hear architects…talk about their ‘CAD guys’ or ‘BIM technicians’…It’s the same thing as someone touting themselves as an orchestra conductor but they can’t read music or play any of the instruments before them.

Back in 2012 I updated a classic BIM graphic to show how BIM can bankrupt your firm. It’s time to revisit that argument.

This is the fifth year in a row that ARCHICAD has been honored with the top BIM product award. In addition, GRAPHISOFT took home the award for Company of the Year.
