Description

What is BIM? What are the dimensions of BIM? How can I develop a project in its entirety with ArchiCAD? How can I model, document, export, and present a BIM project with ArchiCAD? How can I export to other platforms such as AutoCAD in DWG format? These are some of the questions I will answer in this complete guide on BIM with ArchiCAD.Building Information Modeling (BIM) stands out as a methodology that revolutionizes the architecture, engineering, construction and operation (AECO) sector, and ArchiCAD -a solution developed by Graphisoft since 1982- is one of the various tools that enables this way of working, by centralizing information in a BIM database ArchiCAD allows for greater project quality and productivity in less time compared to the 2D CAD workflow.Welcome! My name is Valentyn-Vladyslav Kotsarenko, a graduate with a Master's in Architecture and BIM Coordinator. In addition to being certified as an advanced user in handling ArchiCAD, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Graphisoft Mexico in the implementation of BIM for the professional sector; I have over 10 years of experience in this and other topics, but even more experience training universities, companies, and individuals in the use of various BIM solutions, seeking to optimize work and production processes to the fullest. And this time, I will guide you.This course represents the second step in a series of structured training programs; if you haven't yet had your first experience with BIM, you're unsure how to start, develop and publish an architectural project, or you want to learn ArchiCAD as a concise alternative, this training is for you.Throughout this training:I will explain in-depth what BIM is, its advantages, dimensions, examples, and more.I will guide you through your first and second steps with ArchiCAD.I will teach you everything you need to work in 2D and 3D with ArchiCAD.I will teach you everything you need to know to document floor plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, and more.I will teach you how to structure, manage and place your views in order to create layouts.I will teach you how to publish all your material with just one click.I will explain everything you need to know to export your results to DWG for platforms like AutoCAD.And more.BIM has revolutionized the work schemes around the world, and today you too can achieve it! I will see you in the first lesson!
