Nearly two decades ago, I saw Archicad 6.0 at an AEC tradeshow. After a short introduction with what could be accomplished with the software, fast 3D model rotation, and an automated roof tool, I couldn’t get to my wallet fast enough. Making the switch from hand drafting to computer drawn plans took time and dedication…

I have used Archicad since version 6.5, and I am consistently impressed with the power of Archicad for tackling projects from concept through construction completion. Archicad’S early trailblazing with “virtual building” has always been advantageous for communicating designs to clients. Over many years the software has become increasingly more powerful with added parametrics, information management,…

We’ve used Archicad here at Exhibitree for 20 years. It’s fast and logical when producing construction drawings and equally quick and visually impressive when rendering with its built in CineRender. It best fits our needs as a design and fabrication custom trade show company. Ross Reyes
David W. McKee, Architect
Having previously trained other architects and implemented the change to competing BIM packages in multiple design offices, I wish that I had implemented Archicad instead. The learning curve is less steep, with a layer-based system and more utility out-of-the-box than Revit. There is no need to spend months creating new standards to work with Archicad,…

We are huge fans of Archicad. To have one program that has the capacity to provide production drawings, 3D modeling and final renderings is wonderful.

Archicad has been very beneficial for my projects. Modeling my building designs is essential. I started with SketchUp, and progressed to Archicad about 10 years ago.

When I started using Archicad many years ago, what struck me was that it allowed me to create a simulated 3 dimensional building while other software was basically electronic 2D drafting that forced me to learn cryptic commands just to draw some lines. Buildings are 3 dimensional structures and are experienced as such, why shouldn’t…
