The Archicad
TEN Office: Wednesday 6th Sept
A more advanced view of organising
your office procedures with Archicad 10: by Andreas Lettner of Maaars,
Innsbruck
|
|
Description :
how to define your practice standards and work with master layouts,
templates and libraries, DWG/DXF interchange, for efficient use
of ArchiCAD in the small and midrange office. Sole and Small office
practitioners will find this very valuable, as will CAD managers
for larger offices who may be considering ways to improve their
existing working patterns.
In the normal case there is no defined
CAD manager in small offices as there would be in midrange and bigger
companies. Therefore you need a strategy to increase your efficiency
through a smartly prepared Archicad work environment and an easily
usable, clear defined workflow within your office.

Andreas is an architect in Innsbruck Austria, but he is also one
of the leading trainers in Austria as part of HABRA and the Austrian
Users Association who have developed a curriculum for Archicad training.
Andreas speaks perfect english with very clear delivery, and his
object lessons are applicable to an office in any part of Europe,
not specific to the german language area.
Lunch and Tea/Coffee will be provided.
