Novedge Webinar #32: Vectorworks 2012 as BIM Solution for Smart-Sized Firms

Vectorworks Architect 2012

Many designers, like you, have been using the Vectorworks software to help achieve BIM workflows and successfully collaborate with design partners on other design programs. Join Wes Gardner, Assoc. AIA, for a one-hour webinar and find out how small and medium-sized firms can take advantage of building information modeling (BIM) in the Vectorworks software. You'll start with an introduction to BIM, and learn what tools in the Vectorworks software are available to help you "do BIM", and even dismiss some of the common rumors about "doing BIM". Not only will you see how to transition from a 2D CAD workflow to 3D BIM workflow, but you'll also learn how to collaborate with your design partners using an open-standard, vendor-neutral file format called IFC. For those folks already using Vectorworks software, you'll learn about the improved BIM capabilities in the Vectorworks 2012 software that will help you accelerate your designs.

Wes Gardner is an architect who joined the Nemetschek Vectorworks team as Architecture Industry Specialist in 2007. Mr. Gardner advises the Vectorworks product development team by leveraging his BIM expertise and building product and architectural intelligence. He also works directly with the Vectorworks user community to overcome everyday challenges, encourage BIM workflows, and present features and tips to help users maximize productivity and efficiency.
