TF Tony F. Co-founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/26/2025 "The best BIM modelling software fullstop..." 5/5 What do you like best about Archicad? ArchiCAD is a very intuitive and powerful software platform enabling a user to accuratley design and model a wide range of buildings. Once familiar with the software a user is able to extract a vast array of data from their ArchiCAD models and even use the power of ArchiCAD to automate some of the processes of the job. ArchiCAD is easy to implement and update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? There is very little to dislike about ArchiCAD, most of what one could list as a dislkie can generally be attributed to a lack of skill from the user rather than a deficiency of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? ArchiCAD is helping me to produce documentation faster for our multi unit residential projects through the use of a good template and premodelled hotlinks for the units.

The BIMcloud feature enables real-time collaboration on projects, whether teams are in the same office or distributed worldwide. Archicad offers a high level of customise workflows, layouts, and designs. Unlike some other software that struggles to balance 2D and 3D design processes, Archicad allows you to switch seamlessly between the two. Changes made in one view automatically update in others, saving time and reducing errors. Archicad underlay open standards for interoperability, making it easier to collaborate with consultants or teams using different software. Support for IFC, DWG, and Revit formats enhance data exchange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? • The GDL scripting feature, while powerful, is particularly difficult to master for non-technical users. • While Archicad has decent built-in rendering capabilities (CineRender), it doesn’t match the advanced rendering quality or real-time rendering features of dedicated tools like Twinmotion, Lumion, or Enscape. • We need to rely on third-party software for high-end visualization, adding extra costs and complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? Collaboration Challenges - Multi-disciplinary teams often struggle to collaborate effectively, especially across different software platforms. Solution: Archicad’s BIMcloud enables Teams work more cohesively, even across different locations, reducing miscommunication and rework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The building model is at the center of the planning. Much is constructed in 3D, which means you have to think early about a functional construction. Combined with a (local) BIMCloud and the ability to easily define your own parameters, the planning model becomes a powerful data model. And finally: the automation in output, which allows you to output many plans and files in different formats with the push of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad? The switch to rental licenses is a real disappointment. Also, the fact that many bugs, some of which have existed for decades, are simply not fixed. Furthermore, many features that users urgently need and regularly request unsuccessfully are missing. And if such features are developed, it takes several product versions before they meet the requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Archicad solving and how is that benefiting you? The more intensively you work with Archicad, the more you notice the internal inconsistencies within the software. The hotline is rather overwhelmed by this, as many problems arise from practical use and you need a practical perspective to understand the problems and offer solutions. Fortunately, there is an excellent community that is usually the first point of contact for questions and problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Archicad since vrsion 7, probably now on a daily basis. It an excellent solution for both sole paracticiener as well in big sutios and cmpnaies. It's a very well tool of design, infkrmation management and documentation. Its excellent to follow the project along its cosntruction as well. I used Arhcicad in urbna design, architecture, landscape, rehabilitation and intetior design. The program is very useer fiendly, specially for architects. The softeare is very well integrated with chaos, enscape, and help get the rendering done on the go. I never needed direct contact with cutomer support from graphisoft, as usually I found all the Q&A at the internet forums and youtune. The program is very easy to use and to inolement inside the office by architects and engineers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Archicad?
