| The Archicad 10 Office
/ Focus on your Practice / User Surgery |
Computers were supposed to
let you get more work done with less labour. We will focus on the
particular ways you can achieve (or advance) this in your practice.
Bring your biggest problems and we will look for the best solutions,
and provide ways to document them, so you can go back to your
office and put them right to work. Using the power of ArchiCAD 10,
organising Practice standards, advanced user interface (working
environment), master layouts, templates and libraries, DWG/DXF interchange,
for efficient use of ArchiCAD in the small office.

| ArchiCAD 10 for large
projects |
Larger Projects require time
saving techniques to avoid duplication and confusion. Hotlinked
Modules are an essential technique in large projects - these
also allow members of the team to work on different parts of the
project. ArchiCAD's Teamwork also allows this, and there
are basic rules for the team and network to be learnt. How differently
do these work with ArchiCAD 10, and how can existing models with
Teamwork and Modules be migrated from 9 to 10?
|
Adrian Harms |
| Interactive Scheduler with ArchiCAD
10 |
The Interactive Schedule workshop will
look at how easily users can create interactive schedules, how they
can control their content and format the output. IS are improved
under ArchiCAD 10. We will look at the other uses to which the interactive
scheduler can be put, for example as a find and select tool or for
changing the parameters of objects already placed in the project.
To be able to extract schedules of elements and objects from your
single building model is to ensure consistency across project documentation
and avoid those embarrassing errors!

Adrian Harms |
| 2D and Layout
Book for beginners |
The Plotmaker
environment is now integrated into ArchiCAD 10. The ArchiCAD Navigator,
better 2D in ArchiCAD, Organising Viewsets, the Layout Book, hotlinking
LBK pages to ArchiCAD viewsets, settings, organising layouts, subsets
etc. Migration of existing Layout book to ArchiCAD 10.
|
Gemma Sewell |
| ArchiCAD on the Web |
ArchiCAD and the Layout Book
(was Plotmaker) environment have powerful Web publishing features
for the construction team. It is also possible to export 3D environments
to the web from ArchiCAD with ArchiShock 3D. Take your architectural
ArchiCAD data and deploy them on the Web. Also, have a look at 3D
Web Presentation with Turntool,
recently equipped with ArchiCAD
connectivity.

Lightworks and Maxwell |
Update on Lightworks
rendering, Materials + material management, effects, parameter,
Lights, Lightworks tricks. Also, Maxwell
Rendering - Maxwell is a specil rendering engine which has
ArchiCAD integration and it is gaining popularity for its realism
and handling of large scenes. A new plug in is available to link
ArchiCAD 10 to Maxwell.
|
Pavol Elias |
|
Maxonform |
Maxonform
is one of the most exciting additions to ArchiCAD ever! As a freeform
editor, it is not only able to make the most fantastic shapes from
new, it is also able to work with astonishing facility on existing
Archicad elements and GDL objects. Not a sales talk (you're sold
on it already...!) a How-To talk.
|
Simon Gilbert |
| Cinema
4D Beginners |
A special tutorial on Cinema 4D (AKA Maxonform) - creative building
with Cinema - is this the best 3D modelling tool of all?
|
Andreas Lettner |
|
Piranesi |
Piranesi
is a specialised '3D painting' tool, allowing you to start with
a simple rendering of a 3D model, and quickly develop it into high
quality images ready for client presentations (Mac and PC). You
can use Piranesi to quickly develop photorealistic images, by painting
in textures and scenery with automatic perspective and masking;
or you can Piranesi's wealth of effects to generate non-photorealistic
images that have a more subtle, hand-rendered feel and focus the
client's mind of what is important in the design. You can even use
Piranesi with a 2D plan or elevation image, or to generate Panoramas!

| Data Exchange |
dataXchange workshop
- making your everyday life easier: it is about bring in and using
drawings in different file formats (DXF/DWG/IFC...) from consultant
partners into your ARCHICAD VB model without destroying your project
structure. also showing working methods of how to set up a translator
script for import and export DXF/DWG. Automated export of VB drawings
through publisher tools. Another topic is how to include or just
underlay "foreign drawings" using weather hotlink modules
or XREF or raise a project from picture scans. |

Objectmaking no GDL |
We all have to make library
objects, but some users don't realise how much can be done without
in depth GDL knowledge. There are good tricks and add-ons you can
use, and you can improve your objects with a tiny amount of tinkering
with the GDL object editor. ArchiCAD 10 provides more modelling
opportunities for object building. Note the changes to the Library
Manager in AC10.
|
Herbert Peter |
|
GDL Beginners |
Introduction to creative
GDL scripting for the very nervous beginner (with or without
experience of Objectmaking without GDL). - using an introductory
exercise from the GDL Cookbook. At this level, GDL is unchanged
since version 8.1.
|
Herbert Peter |
|
GDL Next Steps |
Creative GDL scripting
for those who have dabbled a bit, or took the beginners course and
who want to take it a bit further. This will introduce you to some
essential techniques and ways of thinking. At this level, GDL is
unchanged since version 8.1.
|
Alan McDonnell |
| GDL
More advanced Seminar |
GDL for those who use GDL already
and want an informed seminar to display advanced objects, stretch
the boundaries, unearth answers to frustrating questions, plan future
initiatives in GDL. Issues with migration of Libraries to ArchiCAD
10. New GDL commands in AC10 (not many). GDL Style issues. Does
the Special Menu still have a use? Glob_Context and Global Variables.
New ways of publishing GDL Objects on the Web.

| Abvent
special: Studio |
Artlantis
Studio, is the latest version of the classic rendering and
lighting tool, which has powers that Lightworks does not, such as
the FastRadiosity™ engine which now lets you compute images
in radiosity -- even in preview. We saw Artlantis R in ACUE
2005, but Artlantis Studio now offers advanced functions
such as scene animation and object animation There's always a good
reason to show it at the Summer School. Its predecessor, Artlantis
4.5 is well known and loved by thousands of ArchiCAD users.

Abvent: Ildiko Szabo |
| ArchiCAD
3D, Navisworks and IFC/XML/CIS2
|
Navisworks
- navigation realtime rendering software that can handle millions
of polygons in real time, allowing easy navigation tools for exploring
large models and townscape - effortless export of Archicad models
and layer information to Navisworks, essential for prediction of
construction. There is also the issue of Data Exchange, for example
with Steel and other structural software. XML and IFC are vital
protocols for engaging with external software.

Workshop with Ben Wallbank: Information is Power: Who
Controls the Model? |
Last year Ben suggested that 3D is happening with or without
architects and that there is a danger of the architects role diminishing
further to that of "cake decorator". If the move
to building information modelling is lead by the Contractor and
the model is made by Construction Modellers from consultants 2D
information the Client is unlikely to see the full range advantages
offered by BIM. Access to the model and its information
will be controlled by the contractor and the financial information
contained therein will be "open book" in name only.
We (architects) need to form alliances to ensure that the model
stays under the direct control of the Client throughout the process.
The model can then develop in complexity throughout a projects
life and offer the chance of environmental analysis early in the
process when it can be most usefully used.

Workshop with David Emery |
David Emery presented
a case study plenary at ACUE 2003 showing his work in housing development
with Archicad. More recently, he has been working freelance for
Graphisoft UK, engaging on a diversity of projects, including part
of the 2012 Olympics. This year, he will talk about using Archicad
in residential-scale development; tips, tricks, and suggestions
for improved workflow'. "I'll demonstrate some of the techniques
I've developed over the last few years to model buildings quickly
and efficiently to ensure proper output of all sorts of documentation." |
David Emery |
| 3D
Printing
|
3D Printing (or rapid prototyping) is
the ability to generate a solid physical model from a CAD 3D model.
Models can be carved from solids, as with a CNC router, or can be
built up from small grains or resin blobs. This has advanced (like
CAD itself) to become cheaper, more accessible, more reliable, and
an Architect's office can seriously consider it's own installation.
Notably, this is now a lot easier for ArchiCAD users, with export
to VRML. There are several questions to be answered. |
