Archicad — dRofus Connection Tool
Using this tool, a bi-directional link can be established between Archicad and the dRofus database. This connection is especially advantageous in case of large and complex buildings — such as healthcare facilities or airports — that come with very detailed and complex building programs. Functional requirements derived from the building program are best managed in specialty tools such as dRofus.
