Design

Design freedom is key to creating great architecture. Archicad 26 lets you spend less time on project management and more time on design, regardless of the size and complexity of your project

Archicad 26

DISCOVER ATTRIBUTE MANAGEMENT

• Organise project attributes in an intelligent, hierarchal structure to keep them clean and easy to understand and navigate through. Organise all the different types of attributes present in the project with the help of the attribute manager.

FASTER PROJECT NAVIGATION

• Navigate easily within the Archicad project using the Search function to remove repetitive tasks and add consistency among the tools.

SMART OBJECT CREATION

• Create simple objects by using the Library Part Maker. Learn about newer, more flexible Archicad Library Elements regarding modeling and documentation.

ENHANCED SURFACE OVERRIDES

• Experience accurate model and documentation representation of the opening elements by introducing surface overrides.

Document

Documentation that follows your great design. Powerful workflow enhancements means faster, more accurate documentation, with fewer manual workarounds.

GRAPHIC OVERRIDE ENHANCEMENTS

• Edit and manage graphic overrides faster. Create graphic override combinations faster, and add multiple rules easily.

AUTOTEXT

• Save time and avoid mistakes by using enhanced auto texts in Archicad for great productivity and intuitiveness in documentation.

LEVEL DIMENSIONS

• Increase documentation efficiency and accuracy by using the enhanced Level dimension Tool.

PDF IMPORTS

• Place multiple pages from the same PDF into model view or layout in one go with the enhanced Selective PDF Import option.

Visualise

Create stunning visual presentations of your designs, easier than ever thanks to Archicad 26, with out-of-the-box solutions, modern furniture and textures, and an enhanced and powerful BIMx.

NEW PROFESSIONAL TEXTURES
