These infrequent sponsored emails help us to provide our Xpresso newsletter for free.Come on in theory it is powerfull but in practical use ? Just try to draw a railing - first you have to draw a 3D polyline, than draw again a 3D tube along this polyline (and 3D window is so lame in archicad) - even worse when you need to hide or cut bits of model (3D cutaway nightmare).

However, parametrics can only take you so far and no company can ever fully imagine all the modeling needs users may have. When Akos Pfemeter began the discussion about the new Morph Tool he mentioned that for years Graphisoft has had very powerful modeling technology coupled with very powerful parametrics. But more about that–and other things–in a bit. Of course, while many architects may get very excited about the new modeling Morph Tool, Graphisoft has also introduced a community site called. In this release, however, ArchiCAD 16 ships with powerful surface and solids-modeling tools that may well force users who currently rely on other dedicated modelers to reconsider the need for using those programs at all (and we won’t mention names just quite yet!). Recently in version 15 the company introduced very useful and capable “ shell modeling” features. It had already done so years ago via its GDL structured format but arguably that technology–while very powerful–required advanced scripting skills. In version 16, Graphisoft has advanced its modeling prowess by quite a lot. In recent years it was their stunning BIM Server with patent-pending Delta Server technology (in ArchiCAD 13) and their advancements with IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) for interoperability, something the company has been working in earnest on since 1996. Over the years the BIM tool grew and in recent years Graphisoft has beat others to market with some very key BIM ideas and technology. ArchiCAD's Morph Tool excels in recreating those beautiful structural forms. The stunning library is by a Norwegian architect. A very important thing to notice about this box shot is the presence of the OPEN BIM logo on the side of the box. While there were others, some with very similar visions, Graphisoft had what they called the “virtual building” idea firmly planted and that notion of a real building existing “virtually” in the computer is in essence what the entire AEC industry is now advancing in Building Information Modeling (BIM), complete with capacities for simulation, testing and performance.Ġ1 - ArchiCAD 16.
Well, from the beginning–back in the 1980’s–this company put to market first what seems to have been the most affective vision for 3D CAD design in AEC. Let’s first start by talking about how Graphisoft has helped shape the BIM market to begin with. Arguably, the company continues to manage to stay steps ahead of the competition with some of the really big stuff. What is most impressive to me about Graphisoft is the manner of control they seem to have about their vision with BIM. I want to add also that this article began prior to the AIA National Conference in DC but we continued to learn more about the new features there in person. All three are showing me all the new technology in this latest release, which we’ll cover in quite some detail in a minute. Akos Pfemeter is again joined with Tibor Szolnoki, Business Development Manager and Eniko Pauko, BIM Implementation, of Graphisoft.
