SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – October 5, 2023 –
Graphsoftthe leading developer of building information modeling (BIM) software solutions for architecture and multidisciplinary design, announced its latest product range today, including significant feature updates to Archicad, BIMcloud, BIMx and DDScad.
This announcement follows a robust technology preview program during which users were asked for their feedback on the evolution of Archicad, Graphisoft’s flagship product. The latest version offers an all-new design options solution, professional visualization tools, improved management of complex projects, and advancements in open, multidisciplinary design collaboration.
“Last year, we presented a bold new vision when we unveiled our product roadmap – and we delivered,” said
Marton Kiss, vice president of product success at Graphisoft. “The 2023 release includes significant advancements in the Graphisoft ecosystem with major improvements and feature updates delivering the greatest value in recent times for new and existing users.”
Archicad’s powerful integrated tools and user-friendly interface make it the most efficient and intuitive BIM software on the market. Featuring ready-to-use design documentation, one-click publishing, photorealistic rendering and best-in-class analysis, Archicad allows architects to focus on what they do best : design superb buildings.
Archicad’s new integrated design options management functionality, built on a seamless end-to-end design flow, enables architects and multidisciplinary teams to evaluate and communicate design options to clients more effectively, enabling them thus finding the best design alternatives in a significantly shorter time frame.
“The introduction of the new Design Options tool is a valuable feature, helping architects realize endless possibilities and ultimately enhance their creative expression,” said
Kevin Lee, Chief Technology Officer | BIM, at TZG Architects in Australia.
“This tool is a much-anticipated gift to the architectural community.”
With a continued focus on project manageability, Archicad now offers highly requested additions to the attribute management workflow. This upgrade increases design team efficiency, allowing users to organize more attributes by folders.
Improved consistency and new productivity tools, such as distance guides for element placement, make designing with Archicad more enjoyable and intuitive for architects transitioning from other design platforms.
With BIMcloud, users benefit from secure, real-time collaboration between project team members, regardless of design project size, office location, or internet connection speed. Private and public cloud configurations on standard hardware and Software as a Service (SaaS) allow even the smallest offices to benefit from fast, efficient and secure access to shared projects in real time.
A solid platform for multidisciplinary design collaboration makes BIMcloud the tool architects and engineers can rely on. The latest innovations focus on security – a major concern of all design firms – with the recently introduced multi-factor authentication.
With BIMx, the most popular presentation and coordination app for desktop phones and tablets, iPad, iPhone and Android, users can bridge the gap between the design studio, client office and construction site.
BIMx is more than a great 3D viewer: it’s a productive workplace and mobile collaboration solution. New built-in problem reporting features reduce the time needed to resolve issues detected on the construction site or during project coordination meetings.
This subscription offer combines Archicad, BIMx and BIMcloud SaaS at an affordable price. Unlike other BIM software providers that charge extra for cloud services, Archicad Collaborate lowers the barrier to entry by offering the award-winning BIMcloud SaaS as part of the Archicad subscription price in the Graphisoft Store online store .
“Customers demand powerful solutions that are easy to buy, learn and use. » said
Marton kiss.
“Archicad Collaborate allows firms to acquire Archicad, BIMx and BIMcloud SaaS at a price affordable even for small businesses.
DDScad combines quality architecture with optimal building performance through intelligent mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design tools, integrated calculations and comprehensive documentation solutions for all building systems. Users can design and deliver high-quality MEP projects on time and on budget while collaborating seamlessly with BIM project stakeholders.
Engineers now save more time by modeling construction systems smoothly and quickly with DDScad’s streamlined solutions. Access to manufacturer data, a crucial element of MEP design, is now available immediately. Additionally, new product data technology with enhanced OPEN BIM capabilities allows engineers to design MEP projects with more freedom and flexibility.
“DDScad greatly supports us in our electrical design,” said Uwe BullwinkelIngenieurgesellschaft Schnittger Wilde, Germany.
“With version 19, we are now even more flexible. For example, the parallel power supply to the distribution boards comes at the right time, because we need it, among other things, to plan photovoltaic installations. And with the new overview diagram, we can quickly examine the respective power supply system. These and other innovations make DDScad the best option for efficient MEP design.
DDScad is now available in select countries in the Graphisoft store as a monthly and annual subscription and will be introduced in other countries soon. DDScad is also available as a perpetual license. Learn more about what’s new in DDScad.
Multidisciplinary workflow improvements
Archicad further improves collaboration between architects and engineers working in multidisciplinary teams. The latest version of MEP Modeler delivers a significant improvement to the integrated MEP modeling workflow, while the latest updates to structural analytical model creation reduce structural design delivery time, even for large-scale projects and complex.
