CADD and the Small Firm
12 to 2:00 pm at the
Boston Society of Architects - 52 Broad St. Boston , MA
Special Presentation for the BSA Small Firms Practice Committee
Professor Geoffrey Moore Langdon, AIA Architect, co-author of CADD
and the Small Firmwill give a special
presentation on "CADD and the Small Firm" at the BSA Building 52 Broad
St. Boston, from 12 to 2:00 on Thursday, September 20.
This presentation is focused on the concerns of small architectural
design firms RIGHT NOW on a number of issues concerning their use of
CADD and design software. Productivity issues, File Translation between
softwares, getting people (particularlly designers and principals) "up-to
speed", whether to "upgrade" to new "architecturally intelligent"
versions, dealing with CADD managers / plotting services / online
learning / CADD salespeople / and networks.
We will discuss the 5 different categories of CADD software, and why
it is important for a small firm, in particular, to have at least one
CADD program in every category - 2D drafting software, 3D modeling
software, digital imaging software, architectural design software, and
analysis/presentation/web software.
Design firms struggling with AutoCAD vs. AutoCAD ArchitecturalDesktop,
DataCAD vs. DataCAD Plus, VectorWorks vs. VW
Architect, and the options of "renting/subscribing" or
transitioning to other software such as AutoCAD, Revit,
or ArchiCAD, will find this session particularly useful and
enlightening.
To clarify issues we will be showing segments of all of the above
programs, as well as schematic design software made for principals such
as SketchUp, and DesignWorkshop.
This is one opportunity to ask truly frank questions in an
environment of architectural colleagues and no CADD salespeople. We
also provide you with demonstration versions of all the discussed
software to try out yourself and show your colleagues. There is even a
free lunch for BSA members (non-members $10) if you call
617-951-1433x221 by 9:30. For maps, information on BSA membership,

PhotoShop for Interior Designers
--- Computer aided design without CADD software, digital imaging
allows you to take photographs of interiors and using simple and easy
techniques change the image - essentially showing an alternative design
without ever using CADD. You can also take scans of hand done
sketches or snapshots of hardline CADD
drawings and soften them to look like hand done charcoal sketches or
watercolors.
3D Modeling for Interior Design
-- A jump start into working
with a true architectural CADD software, ArchiCAD that is extremely
easy, yet powerful. In 2 hours we will not only do all the plans/sections/elevations/details of a
building, but also do renderings (both schematic and photorealistic),
cost analysis, space planning, automatic schedules, framing, and at
least one walk-through animation movie. We will also introduce
schematic conceptual modeling with SketchUp, and several tips and
tricks for dealing with 3D in AutoCAD.

AutoCAD and Beyond
-- Then on Saturday, July 19th Geoff will offer a full-day
workshop entitled AutoCAD and Beyond. Using AutoCAD2002, this session
will cover productivity tips and techniques, for quickly creating
plans, and construction details. We will show you techniques with
PaperSpace Layouts, Xrefs,
Online Block Libraries. and
LayerStates that can all save tremendous
amounts of time and help create better drawing coordination. The
second part of this workshop will go over the huge productivity gains
you can make with the three new "architecturally smart" flavors of
AutoCAD 1.ArchitecturalDesktop, 2.Revit, and 3.ArchitecturalStudio, and
how you can use them now to supplement AutoCAD and gain the ability to
do quick schematic sketches in 3D, and automatically turn them into
plans, sections, elevations, and details, with 3D perspectives and
renderings as an automatic bonus. This course will make the
transition from 2-D to 3-D painless and easy. This workshop will
run from 9:00 am until noon and from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. and the cost will
be $280.

* Professor
Langdon will present tips and tricks for translating files from AutoCAD
2005 and ArchitecturalDesktop into DataCAD 11
He will cover, how
to deal with AutoCAD Xrefs, multiple paperspace layouts, drawings done in "metric" SI
units, and ways of dealing with problematic entities such as inserted
jpeg images, splines, elipses,
mtext, embedded fonts, re-scaled dimension
styles, 3D extruded ACIS solids, and, of course, proprietary ARX
entities such as ADT walls, doors, cameras, and other architectural
elements. He will show you which of these issues can be resolved with
the the free or cheap versions of IntelliCAD, and which can only be solved with
particular flavors of AutoCAD. Learn why asking a firm to simply "bind
their xrefs" or explode entities will NOT
work, and can create serious problems for Your
firm.
Monday
July 25, 2005
5-6 pm
for the BSA- Building Envelope Committee
Prof Langdon will present how he does daylight and sunlight studies by
using 3D CADD models in ArchiCAD and in DataCAD. He uses the
animated movies these studies produce for both interiors as well as
exteriors to help calculate energy heat gain and to help design optimal
daylighting schemes. He also uses
these dynamic movies in cases where there are property rights or "sun
rights" issues between nearby property owners. He will also show
us how can inexpensively do these 3D models ourselves, regardless of
what primary design software we are using. Prof Langdon has 11
years of graduate work and 20 years of office work in solar and energy
conscious design. He is best known at the BSA, however, for his
work in online communications (for which he was nominated to FAIA) and
in architectural CADD.
ArchiCAD is a key piece of this strategy, but he
will show GreenBuildingStudio which does
DOE2 energy analysis, LightScape, and
other approaches, and how offices can do this regardless of their
primary 2D CADD drafting software.

Geoffrey LangdonAIA, Architectural CADD Consultants, PeabodyMA
Which mix of programs should your particular firm be using? We
present Revit, ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, AutoCAD, ArchitecturalDesktop and
others, side by side, with evaluations of the kinds of projects and
types of construction for which each is appropriate. We pull no punches
as we show you what the CADD salsepeople cannot. Our workshop leader is
an expert who, every day, goes from firm to firm troubleshooting and
teaching each of these CADD programs. He shares insights on what does
and does not work in different types of design firms. We also explore
some of the newest innovations in design software - 3D PDF from Bentley
MicroStation, quickly and easily photographically realistic virtual
environments with the Mok3 software, and the now available Digital
Project software that allows Frank Gehry to do his magic. We include
extensive Q&A time. We offer guidance on hardware and software
options appropriate for your specific type of design practice.

Two Day Basic ArchiCAD Course
Description
The course starts with a 3 hour overview of the many
capabilities of ArchiCAD, then each seminar attendee will create their
own building project along with the instructor. We introduce a
conceptual technique, show you how it works, and several examples of
how it is used in creating various types of drawings or models. Then
each attendee makes use of that technique in their own project, and,
finally, together we go over a review to cover why and how various
approaches work, then go on to the next conceptual technique.
