Designing for Reuse: A Case Study

Start

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.

Spaces — Your Multi-Functional BIM Tool

Start

Space objects are one of the most versatile and hardest working of all the BIM features, serving the needs of every design phase of an architectural project. Among their many capabilities, Space objects enable you to plan a project in 2D or 3D, verify building code and zoning compliance, report data about themselves and their contents, assemble room finish information, and accurately visualize their data.

Join Vectorworks Architect product specialist Neil Barman in this webinar as he examines real-use cases for architectural and interior design workflows that leverage the power of spaces.

Sketch to BIM in a Unified Workflow

Beginner
50m

Sketch to BIM in a Unified Workflow

Start

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.

  2. Learn about concept modeling opportunities within Vectorworks at the early concept levels.
  3. Map out how to transition from concept model to BIM efficiently, minimizing re-work and information loss.
