JONATHAN REEVES
DirectorJonathan Reeves ArchitectureJonathan Reeves has spent the last 20 years at the forefront of digital architecture and related fields. His book, “Innovative Vectorworks BIM,” is a must-read for anyone involved or interested in the process of building information modeling and digital architecture. Architects, designers, and students will find this volume a gold mine of information on Vectorworks software-based BIM. It is replete with case studies from a fascinating range of SME architectural practices and illuminates the reader with practical and personal stories of BIM journeys.

INNOVATIVE VECTORWORKS BIM
Jonathan ReevesBuilding information modeling (BIM) is a fast evolving aspect of the construction industry. The session Innovative Vectorworks BIM, based on presenter Jonathan Reeves’ book of the same name, provides unique insight into how innovative architectural practices have already started their journeys with BIM using the powerful features of Vectorworks software, as well as providing many helpful insights into tried-and-tested BIM workflows.
​
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Examine case study examples of BIM workflows
2. Investigate BIM’s suitability for small projects.
3. Evaluate the merits of transitioning to a 3D workflow.
4. Recognize common workflows for moving from 2D to 3D.

Building information modelling (BIM) is a fast evolving aspect of the construction industry.
Innovative Vectorworks BIM provides a unique insight into how innovative architectural practices have already started their journeys with BIM and discusses the major new features in Vectorworks 2016, as well as providing many helpful insights into tried a tested BIM workflows.

​Architect and Professional Vectorworks trainer Jonathan Reeves presenting at the BIM Design day show you some of the great new Vectorworks 2017 features and workflows.

Structural Member Objects
With the Structural Member Objects feature, architects can create columns, beams, and free-form structural objects out of concrete, steel, and timber. Models can be exported to analysis software using the IFC file format, an open file format for exchanging building data.

Interested in BIM? Want to Learn More? 

Don't do BIM? The Government Mandate doesn't affect me as I don't design schools, hospitals or other public buildings.

Wrong! If you use 3D CAD, as soon as you draw a wall between two points and add a window, you are doing BIM. The wall could have a thickness and height, a style, multiple components (bricks, insulation, plaster even), materials and costs. The window will come from a library of variable types. Already you are collecting Information. Come to the BIM Design Day and learn how to use that information to speed up designs, eliminate errors, re-use components -- and share that information with others.

​And if you are doing BIM you already have the potential to make great savings in time, productivity and costs. 
BIM - Building Information Modelling helps you to, for instance:
- Produce schedules of components and materials
- Re-use components, including complete room furnishings for hotels, etc
- Collaborate with structrual engineers and designers sharing the same model and data
- Share 3D models with Building Performance Efficiency applications
- Release component information to fabricators for off-site manufacture
- Adhere to company and National building standards and codes more easily
- Produce 3D visualisations and walkthroughs clients and public presentations
- Create hyperlinks to supporting data -- component info, sources, prices and performances
- After construction present clients with complete facility management information
... and much more! Whether you use Vectorworks or not, you will learn why BIM is a vital tool for your practice 

The free BIM Design Day will, of course, be run using Vectorworks software - a complete architectural design application that also includes modules for Terrain Modelling, Landscaping, Visualisation using the CINEMA 4D based rendering engine, Renderworks and even Stage and Lighting design for the entertainment and performance industries - all integrated as a complete BIM solution, and with full export and model sharing capabilities.
