Model-based annotation is key to an effective BIM workflow. An extended set of Reveal and Wall Closure setting options make creation of refined details a fully automatic process. This program offers users increased control over model-based sections and details of doors and windows. Live 3D views of the BIM model in addition to being work-views also become a standard basis for communicating the design intent with clients. The software greatly improves in-model visualization with shadow casting in 3D OpenGL views. Uniform Rich Text Format is introduced in all text-related tools: texts, labels, dimensions, interactive schedules. With the evolution of BIM as the de facto workflow, architects increasingly receive consultant information in a BIM format. An the app design model can be described as a central BIM database that stores all project data and makes it accessible to any project stakeholder.Įxternal IFC model content created by consultants - such as Structural or MEP engineers - can be placed as hotlinks into the app design projects as protected reference content. The program integrated CineRender - based on MAXON’s Cinema 4D v18 rendering engine - offers architects high quality, photo-realistic rendering in the BIM context. Complex yet configurable railing systems can be created that are associated with Stairs, Slabs, Walls, Roofs or Meshes. The software Stair Tool offers the most optimal stair designs to choose from in the context of the specific building. The app delivers a number of other, important functional improvements in the fields of visualization, OPEN BIM, performance and productivity making this version one of the strongest in GRAPHISOFT’s history.ĭesigning stairs is one of the most complex tasks in architecture.

The program introduces the highly-anticipated Stair Tool, featuring GRAPHISOFT’s patent-pending Predictive Design™ technology. Innovation has been a key differentiator for ARCHICAD for Mac since the beginning. So ArchiCAD for macOS now offers lightning-fast response times and this turbo-charged update to the app makes it the undisputed speed leader in the BIM business. GRAPHISOFT has extended its robust 64-bit and multi-processing technologies with background processing - an industry first for BIM. ArchiCAD for Mac helps you design and implement your architectural projects faster than ever! No more waiting for views to load.
