Get your clients on-board with your designs by engaging them with clear and realistic visualizations and walk-throughs
In this remote learning session, we’ll look at how you can move beyond the discrete functions of your BIM platform for producing standard deliverables. You’ll learn how to combine a variety of Archicad’s visualization abilities to generate more visually dynamic material that better conveys your designs ideas. We’ll also walk through the nuances of planning for and creating BIMx files that will take your presentations to whole new level!
This course is for users that have the BIM basics down and have worked in Archicad before, or for veteran Archicad users who are looking to improve upon their graphic abilities within Archicad and incorporate more visually captivating outputs into their professional quiver of graphic tools.
