Assigning Information in ArchiCAD for Material Takeoffs

At the January ArchiCAD User Group, we will examine ways that you can use ArchiCAD's database to assign properties to building elements and generate a material takeoff. We will examine how to create and assign database properties and how to create a schedule. The concepts we present are applicable to all construction elements in ArchiCAD including walls, roofs, slabs, floors, columns and beams.

Tom Simmons, President of ARCHVISTA, will present at this User Group. ARCHVISTA is the authorized ArchiCAD reseller for Northern California and is recognized for expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM) as well as its implementation. Tom has spoken at major industry events including EcoBuild, AEC Systems, AIA Desert Practice Conference, AIA Monterey Design Conference and the Dwell Conference. He has authored several books and articles on Building Information Modeling and architectural technologies. Tom has a Masters of Architecture from University of California, Berkeley and a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University.
