The most environmentally responsible building may be one
that’s already built.
In this webinar, learn how François Lévy, architect and principal
at François Lévy Architecture + Interiors, used BIM softwarwe to serve a church
congregation in its decision-making process regarding the fate of its damaged
parish hall. The firm used a variety of tools, such as Space objects,
worksheets, data visualization, and Point Cloud photogrammetry, to evaluate the
building rehabilitation and explore options to undertake the project
efficiently in phases.

Collaboration and Interoperability between different software packages are one of the most important things when working on BIM projects. In order for a successful cross-discipline collaboration with streamlined file exchange workflows, there are multiple things to consider - choosing the right file format, working off of the same project coordinate, import settings, just to name a few.
Working with consultants that use Revit requires some initial discussion and planning both internally and with external project partners to deliver best interoperability results. Understand the nuances of project setup in both Revit and Vectorworks and learn what the best practices are so you can be confident that what you deliver is always up to your standard.

The purpose of this guide is to provide you with an understanding of what “BIM collaboration” can be – it does not have one single approach, workflow, or software – and how to collaborate best for the needs of your project.
The information in this guide will allow you to define “BIM collaboration” and describe the different ways of collaborating on BIM projects.

Firms are adopting
Building Information Modeling (BIM) at a faster rate than ever before. To make
the most of the tools at your disposal, you need a complete picture of the
options available to make a better-informed decision on achieving more
effective project collaboration.
This presentation, hosted by Vectorworks' Luka Stefanovic, will demonstrate how you
can collaborate with your project stakeholders at every project stage, review
tools, and workflows to help you start a project on the right foot, and
demonstrate success in every phase of the project from design to construction
and building operation.

report data about themselves and their contents, assemble room finish
information, and accurately visualize their data.

Employ data visualization techniques to automatically color-code spaces according to their inherent or added information.
Design firms often rely on one
set of tools for concept modeling, another for Building Information Modeling
(BIM), and another for drafting construction details.
This fragmented workflow could be
more efficient, considering most BIM software prioritizes documentation over
design, limiting free-form modeling, and sketch tools need more robust
analytics to evaluate building performance early on.
This presentation, hosted by
François Lévy, architect and principal at François Lévy Architecture +
Interiors, offers an alternative workflow.
You’ll witness a unified design
process using Vectorworks for sketch modeling and early analytics as a stepping
stone to a comprehensive approach to BIM, detailing, and rendering.
