The course for designers who already work in Archicad and now need to build timber frames in ArchiFrame. In one day, taught by Nordic BIM Group instructors on your office template, you learn to generate a frame, edit it, and send drawings, cut lists, and CNC files to the floor. In person or online.
ArchiFrame Basic: take your Archicad model all the way to the factory
Who it's for
ArchiFrame Basic is a course for the people who turn a design into a buildable frame. It suits frame designers, CAD and BIM coordinators, and production leads at timber-frame manufacturers who already run Archicad. Pick it for the segment you build in.
Single-family and small-house manufacturers
For the designers and coordinators producing detached homes and small houses. You learn to take a house from the Archicad model to a framed, documented structure ready for the shop floor.
Element and module factories
For teams building wall elements, floor cassettes, and volumetric modules. You learn to generate the frame and the cut and CNC output that your production line runs on.
Log-house and CLT manufacturers
For manufacturers working in solid timber. You learn to frame and document log and CLT projects in ArchiFrame, the work that long-standing customers like Honkarakenne and Kontio run every day.
Cabin and second-home builders
For builders of cabins and second homes. You learn to model the frame and produce the documentation and machine files that get a cabin into production.
What you'll learn
By the end of the day you can take an Archicad model into a timber frame and out to the floor on your own. You already know Archicad; this course adds ArchiFrame on top. Here is the scope.
You start where the work starts. You learn the ArchiFrame settings and folder structure, how the license system works, and how to set up your layer combinations on the office template you use at work. So the course matches what you open at your own desk, not a generic sample file.
You learn to turn the Archicad model into a timber frame: walls, floors, roofs, columns, and beams, and solid timber where you work in CLT. The frame comes from the building you already designed, so the design and the structure stay one model.
A generated frame is the start, not the end. You learn to edit and detail the studs, plates, and members, and to build the profiles you need for the elements your standard library does not cover. You stay in control of every component.
Designs change. You learn how a change to the Archicad model flows through to the frame, so the structure and the documentation keep up instead of falling behind. This is the part that protects you when a project moves.
You learn to produce what the factory runs on: drawings, cut lists, and the CNC files your machines read. The course shows you the path from model to machine, so you leave able to send real production output to the floor.
