Technical Program

The February meetup focuses on advanced Archicad workflows essential for modern digital engineering practices. The technical agenda includes:

Geolocating Files for Collaboration

Participants will explore best practices for georeferencing Archicad projects to enable seamless coordination across multidisciplinary teams. This session addresses critical workflows for aligning building information models with real-world coordinates, facilitating accurate site integration and collaboration with civil engineering, surveying, and GIS professionals.

Complex Graphic Override Workflows

The second technical session delves into advanced graphic override techniques within Archicad. Attendees will learn sophisticated methods for controlling model visualization, creating custom presentation standards, and automating documentation processes that enhance project delivery efficiency.

Networking Opportunities

Following the technical presentations at 7:15 pm, attendees will have the opportunity to network with fellow Archicad professionals, share project experiences, and discuss emerging trends in digital engineering and BIM implementation across the Australian architecture and construction sectors.
