Because architectural standards vary by country, localized groups are incredibly valuable. You can find massive, highly active ARCHICAD communities by searching for country-specific variations: ARCHICAD en Español Portuguese: ARCHICAD Brasil / ARCHICAD Portugal
: Many groups focus on OpenBIM standards (IFC, BCF, IDS), facilitating collaboration across different platforms. 🎓 Learning & Career Growth
Channels dedicated to GDL objects, BIM components, and custom Python scripts for ARCHICAD automation.
Telegram has become the go-to platform for real-time ARCHICAD discussion, file sharing, and problem-solving, bridging gaps that traditional forums cannot. ARCHICAD - Telegram
If you want to take your BIM skills to the next level, I can help you get started right now.
While Telegram is secure, avoid sharing unencrypted proprietary files or sensitive client information in large public groups.
ARCHICAD users traditionally rely on emails, Teamwork internal messages, or platforms like BIMcloud to track project changes. While effective, these systems require users to be actively sitting at their workstations or logged into specific software. Telegram has become the go-to platform for real-time
Send the command /newbot and follow the prompts to name your bot.
Traditional architecture forums and official help centers are excellent for structured learning, but they often lack speed. Telegram bridges this gap by offering unique advantages for the modern BIM professional.
: The bot queries the BIMcloud and returns a report of who is currently signed into the teamwork file. ARCHICAD users traditionally rely on emails
: Documentation on new features for stairs, electrical symbols, and one-click "Mirror" solutions for entire projects. Asset Sharing
: Bots facilitate the quick sharing of GDL objects, BIM components, and project templates directly to a user's mobile device, allowing for review away from the workstation. 3. Collaboration and Teamwork 2.0
As automated workflows become standard, advanced users utilize Telegram to discuss ARCHICAD’s Python API. You can find ready-made scripts to automate boring tasks like renaming layouts, batch-exporting PDFs, or auditing model data.
: Get alerts when a project is saved or when a Teamwork "Send & Receive" operation is completed [10].
Create a "Scenario" or "Zap" triggered by a new file appearing in that folder.
