Collaborating using a Building Information Model (BIM) can be done in a variety of ways, and there isn’t just one tool or one method available. These varied collaboration workflows depend on the needs of your project and the skill levels of your team
members involved.
One key factor of BIM collaboration is the ability for each team member to use the software of choice that fits their tasks and can offer collaboration opportunities with others. To serve this, flexible design tools and open
standards can provide ways to work with others while removing the need to use (or learn) unfamiliar software with limited, rigid workflow options.
This webinar will demystify the options for BIM collaboration so you can make an informed decision
about the best method for your needs on any given project.

Are you new to 3D modeling in Vectorworks or just looking to keep your skills sharp?
Either way, this is the presentation for you! Join our session to learn how to create 3D models that will perfectly complement your presentation. You’ll learn tons of tips for 3D modeling in Vectorworks, like how textures can reduce the complexity of models, details on conceptual and free-form designs, and rendering tricks to help you present your models.
Learning Objectives
BIM has primarily been considered for large project documentation efficiency, while smaller projects and their design processes are often neglected. This session’s goal is to show architects and allied design professionals how the inherently data-rich nature of BIM can serve smaller and design-oriented projects. BIM can refine your building design process and help you use materials more sustainably.
Through a series of technical vignettes, participants will see BIM in a new light: far more than an improved documentation and sharing environment reserved for large projects, BIM can improve both the efficiency of the design process and the efficiency of the design itself.

Successful live event design isn’t only about the aesthetics of an event, it also requires effective and efficient data management on your end. From time and budget planning, to knowing seating assignments, being able to document your live event’s data is invaluable.
This webinar — using a gala-style dinner as an example — shows how you can benefit from integrating Vectorworks Spotlight’s data management and analysis tools into your design and planning processes.
Learning Objectives
Algorithms-aided design tools are quickly becoming a standard of the AEC industry. They can bring endless opportunities for customization and automation within your design software and allow you more experimentation and optimization within your designs.
Algorithms-aided design can be intimidating to a new user, but the most important thing you need to get started is a problem you want to solve. Once you get started, the true possibilities begin to open up. In this presentation, Sarah Barrett, senior
architect product specialist at Vectorworks, Inc., will discuss some basics of algorithmic modeling, give some examples of scripts that you can build in BIM software, and look at several real-world algorithmic modeling success stories.

“Green infrastructure” can be a broad term. But when applied to stormwater, it represents a way to get closer to your net zero landscape goals. Rain gardens, conservation landscapes, and tree plantings of appropriate species can be paired with designing
for the water that’s present in your site. Water harvesting can also be added for a source of supplemental water, and green roofs can be your first line of defense when it comes to achieving net-zero water on your site.

As a landscape designer, you’re likely looking for new ways to integrate sustainable objectives into your site design workflow. These objectives can stem from a conscientious client, a jurisdictional mandate, or a desire to create a positive environmental impact beyond each project site.
Fortunately, technology is more capable than ever to support your sustainability objectives. This presentation will showcase various firms’ successes found in using their design software and other technology integrations to achieve their goals for environmental stewardship. It will also explore opportunities where technology can continue to develop for better landscape performance.
Learning Objectives
With more technology available to interior and architectural designers, the traditional approach to developing commercial projects is moving to exciting levels. Your workflow is no longer just about providing 2D drawings and details; great visualizations and smart take-offs can all be a part of your design process. BIM for interiors is a more thoughtful way to design, organize, and face today’s challenges in the industry. In this presentation — inspired by an elegant retail interiors project located in Tokyo by designers Mana and Takashi Kobayashi, IMA Inc. — Luis M. Ruiz, Int. Assoc. AIA, will discuss how you can increase your efficiency and win more work with an integrated data-driven 3D modeling process.
Learning Objectives
With project schedules becoming increasingly more compressed, you may be looking for a new workflow that’s efficient, but also doesn’t hinder your creative process. One of the most straightforward ways to make a change in your building design process
is by adopting a 3D modeling workflow. Incorporating this method will help you remain creative and meet shorter deadlines.
This presentation includes a brief history of what you draw in a building design workflow and compares the similarities and differences between a traditional, 2D workflow with a modern, 3D modeling workflow.
