About Product
Description
ARCHICAD offers computer aided solutions for handling all common aspects of aesthetics and engineering during the whole design process of the built environment — buildings, interiors, urban areas, etc. Development of ARCHICAD started in 1982 for the original Apple Macintosh. Following its launch in 1987, with Graphisoft's "Virtual Building" concept, ARCHICAD became regarded by some as the first implementation of BIM. ARCHICAD has been recognized as the first CAD product on a personal computer able to create both 2D and 3D geometry, as well as the first commercial BIM product for personal computers and considered "revolutionary" for the ability to store large amounts of information within the 3D model. Today, it has over 120,000 users.
Product overview
ARCHICAD is a complete design suite with 2D and 3D drafting, visualization and other building information modeling functions for architects, designers and planners.
A wide range of software applications are integrated in ARCHICAD to cover most of the design needs of an architectural office:
- 2D CAD software — drawing tools for creating accurate and detailed technical drawings
- 3D Modeling software — a 3D CAD interface specially developed for architects capable of creating various kind of building forms
- Architectural rendering and Visualization software — a high performance rendering tool to produce photo-realistic pictures or videos
- Desktop publishing software — with similar features to mainstream DTP software to compose printed materials using technical drawings pixel-based images and texts
- Document management tool — a central data storage server with remote access, versioning tool with backup and restore features
- Building Information Modeling software — not just a collection of the above-mentioned applications with an integrated user interface but a novel approach to building design called BIM
