Archicad (formerly ArchiCAD) is a BIM software tool for Mac and Windows developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft (now part of the Nemetschek Group). It is popular in Europe, while Autodesk Revit is a software of global scope (Europe – America). Its simple and intuitive approach to BIM makes it the perfect tool for a fast and easy implementation. Conceived in the early 80’s, ArchiCAD was the first BIM software available for commercial use. Similarly to Revit, views, plans and sections are created automatically and upgrade with every change of the model.

ArchiCAD is the 64-bit software which takes advantage of all processor cores. A modeling to rendering workflow is realized with the built in CineRender Engine developed by Maxon.

Modern architecture requires the cooperation of all participants in the design process, including architects, engineers, constructors… Architects play a central role in coordinating all aspects of their design with other disciplines during the entire process of project development. ArchiCAD introduces solutions that create a bridge between different BIM models. Coordination among architects and engineers becomes an easy and automated process.

Archicad integrations

Plugins

Graphisoft developed the following add-ons to provide high level of integration:

• RFA & RVT Geometry Exchange. Enables Archicad users to import RFA (Revit Families) as objects; to hotlink, import and export RVT geometry (Revit projects) in and out of Archicad. From Archicad 25, this add-on is part of the Archicad and doesn’t require additional plugin installation.

GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD 23 Build 3003

ARCHICAD 23 enables architects to model faster and create accurate construction details and quantity estimations for reinforced concrete, complex steel, timber, and composite beams and columns. Complex columns, curved and haunched beams can now be modeled and documented to meet graphic and representation standards. Beams and columns can be displayed using various projected and symbolic views and cover fills.

What’s New:

New Features in ARCHICAD 23:
Voids, Niches and Recesses
ARCHICAD 23 introduces a new Opening tool dedicated to model and coordinate project design voids, recesses and niches — as horizontal, vertical or slanted openings across elements, element groups or even across stories. Such openings are important for project coordination as they are equally relevant for architects, engineers and consultants and must be documented by architects and by engineers. Openings can be modeled, scheduled, and documented using intuitive tools, and shared using open IFC standards.
