Totally awesome livestream

Just had this discussion with my boss after doing a 2 hour presentation on maximising workflow, with their Sketchup and AutoCad setup. They have avoided BIM, saying the size of projects they like to bid for doesn't justify a BIM setup - but, I can see their had being forced to get BIM, based on a few projects in the future.

He started talking about Revit, I said Archicad would be a better fit, as you can import existing Sketchup models into Archicad and use them to complete the job in Archicad.

Q: Can Archicad interact with a BIM model, which other companies have access to, if those companies are using a Revit based platform?

Very awesome stream. I can't believe I actually watched the livestream from 2AM to 3AM.

Do you think this workflow can be used to import interior designs from Sketchup to Archicad? My only concern is, it might affect my PC performance a lot.

Hey thanks for the video
I started modeling on Archicad and exported it to sketchup to continue modeling the interior objects. My question is can i import the sketchup interior objects into the archicad project with the exact position? (like kind of "paste in place" command in sketchup)
Thank you!

[wilkilozki]

nice skills, thank you for sharing.

Here is a question: what you will do if the model of SketchUp is Changed. And not you make these changes on a SketchUp model, how can you automatically find these parts of the project? Maybe Model Compare Tool?

Hi. Im really don't get how do you export from skp and how do you import to Archicad with all textures....

[bethakabetty]

Can I import Information from Sketchup LayOut into Archicad?

[emilyt]

Hi, I am new to Archicad. Can You explain why can't I 'Open source view' as a reference in 20:00 ? Can anybody explain?

[momadfaruque]

I admire countries and companies that don't use BIM.

[danieladam]

thanks for the tutorial Mr. John! I have a question tho, i keep having a blank file each time i imported a huge size sketchup file to archicad, how to solve the problem? thanks!

[chasephillips]

When I merge the object it loads and then the object is invisible (all layers are on and visible as well as renovation filters.) Just cant see the object in 2d or 3d after placing the skp file as a 2019 format in archicad 26.) Any ideas of why this is happening? It works just fine in archicad 25.

[yassinabdallah]

Good evening sir, how can l get archicad 25? I like it.
