"the ups and downs of archicad"

What do you like best about Archicad? I like that the software offers integrated model making, 3Dpresentation and tracking of components in one package. What do you dislike about Archicad? Some features are difficult to master, and gain high-level control of the feature. Also, window and door manufacturers do not offer dedicated library parts to use, so some are approximations. Recommendations to others considering Archicad: Try before you buy, ask other professionals who are in the same ...

"Incredible CAD/BIM software!"

What do you like best about Archicad? This is a very powerful software that is relatively easy to implement and collaborate with team members on. It has come a long way and has many plugins, and allows integration with other software. The libraries are extensive, as well as the surfaces/materials. Modifying these items is also reasonably easy. Customizing the UI and other things in the software is simple and allows tailoring to your firm's desired workflow. The user interface is very ...

A leading architecture software

PROS: Archicad was not troublesome to deploy and implement. It is great to use in any and all kinds of designing and drawing, even if it is 3D. It can even work with files from other applications for additional editing. Plus, they have a fantastic support team. CONS: It has a steep price. Aside from that, there is no problem.

"highly recommend archicad :)"

What do you like best about Archicad? after having also used Revit, I love how easy it is to "walk" around the model in archicad. We often do live tours with our clients, and it makes the design process so easy! we don't normally save out plans, 3D views, and renderings for client meetings, or have to waste time creating a presentation - we can just do it all live in the model. What do you dislike about Archicad? one thing that I dislike is the availability of objects and library parts for ...

The best architecture software available

PROS: An innovative architecture software that does not stop rolling out new tools and features despite having reached maturity. It works wonderfully with large projects because it can adjust to scaling needs smoothly. That is why I will choose this over other packages any day. CONS: Archicad may want to enhance the rendering feature by integrating ones used in high-end games. This would abstract the need for plugins and separate modules for the task. Also, it is similarly priced to its ...

"3D Modeling for Client Review & Marketing"

What do you like best about Archicad? 3D Views, both Interior & Exterior, and BIMx. These together make an extremely persuasive presentation of a Conceptual and Finished Project before actually having it built. And, you can use the Twinmotion add-on for free to further enhance the ArchiCAD model. We have a number of these ArchiCAD examples posted on our website. And, in our proposals we include ArchiCAD modeling as a standard benefit vs. our competition. It's not an option, but our fees ...

How our large construction firm uses Archicad

PROS: Archicad's cloud-based BIM is helpful in collaboration. Because of it, we can complete projects faster and with each other's inputs. We also appreciate that it has comprehensive and high-quality building documentation and quantity calculations. On top of it all, it has great attribute controls. CONS: It is so full featured that I cannot even begin to use every feature.

Still satisfied with Archicad, years later

PROS: Archicad is truly for the architect because of its wide range of drawing and editing options. It makes navigating the workspace easy with the accessible menu, keyboard shortcuts, and toolbars. It can even handle large projects and still provide users with the flexibility they need. This can be seen in the way it supports numerous formats, allowing teams and external partners to collaborate without a hitch. Overall, it is an intuitive software that provides you with everything you ...

Ther are no downsides to useing this software. The items that slow us down, is getting everyone in the office on the same hotfix. We cannot ...
