IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY
Graphisoft owns Archicad, and a while ago, Graphisoft was acquired by Nemetschek, which offers other construction solutions, and those products work seamlessly with Archicad. Give it a try!
Having a digital twin of the project opens new possibilities, such as analysis and simulation. Of course, most of these require specific knowledge or interest in sustainability or parametric design, but it might be a good reason to start changing the world.
ECODESIGNER
COVE TOOLS
DESIGN LCA
LADYBUG TOOLS (RH-GS)
SUN PATH OBJECT
LIGHTSTANZA
SHADOW PLANNER (JP)
NEW PLUG-IN = NEW E-MAIL!
inhouse or presentation quality... there is a CGI solution for everyone!
VISUALISATION
While Archicad is not a visualization-oriented tool, everyone desires to get easy and quick images of their design. It comes with Maxon’s Cinerender, but let’s look at other alternatives.
Do you need textures, materials or render settings? Jump to Advanced Library Section!
AR / VR
Not everyone is an architect and able to understand technical drawings. So the best way is to visualize the project or, even better, walk in it with the help of AR/VR.

OBJECT LIBRARY
DWG object library is out, and 3D smart BIM objects are in. There are many different sources, but let’s start with the most popular ones. More sources will be added.

TEMPLATE & LEARNING SOURCES
BIM is a journey, enjoy the views and don’t expect to get the best results in a blink of an eye. However, there are some shortcuts, and valuable links work like pain-killer, especially for beginners.
Secure, real-time collaboration between project team members regardless of the size or complexity of the project, the location of the offices, or the speed of the Internet connection.
All team members are working on the project file; it’s not a dream or an impossible task. Just share the project on BIMcloud and invite members. Let the sync begin!
Apartment types, hotel rooms, cores, or even balconies, whenever you need multiple copies of a design element, you can save them as modules and link them anywhere.
ADVANCED LIBRARY
Archicad itself has various settings. Most of these can be shared with others, and if so, why don’t we? It will be time-saving while you’re creating or amending your template.
