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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

Archicad is a solid solution which allows the user to create detailed and information rich models. After pioneering the "Virtual Building" in the 80:s, Archicad has developed into a competent and complete BIM solution. There are very few limitations and restriction on what is possible and over the years all kinds of buildings have been designed and documented using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having used Archicad for many years there are of course downsides. however, many of them are more small annoying tid-bits rather than actual limitations of the tool. In contrast to this there is an active community which is always happy to help and there is active user input into the future development of Archicad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s AI features, including the AI SNAP AND AI SCENE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s too technical and some times the need is for something more abstract Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the most and easiest software to use compare to other competitors I will list down the following.

Open BIM

Can import almost any file types

Easy to learn

Have BIMx that allows you to view models in your phones or tablets or desktops those without Archicad

They have BIMCloud that allows users to work across the globe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Of course not all software are perfect it has also disadvangtages some of it will be the following.

Got some bugs

Cannot keep up with global competiton with their competitor

They change to subscription licensing instead of perpetual Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to modify easily all element when I need : what I want when I need.

like to get my own eternal licence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Location licence

Lock by an OS (I use macOS) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity and flexibility of creating the model as well as structuring IFC. Speed of learning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some minor flaws that if fixed would allow for a better experience. Sometimes there are too many windows to open, sometimes there are gaps in the modelling tools. Sometimes there is no uniformity in parameters, settings and the like. 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.

The license fees are too high, as the delopes keep dropping an updated version yearly. Would appreciate if they get some bigger new fuetures integrated to insure more fluid working space, as well as solvgn some minor things here and there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the way how Archicad is structured. The logic of the program is clear and follows architectural principles. Very versatile so basically everytihng is possible with this program. Also, the user interface completely custamisable. Good customer support. Good integration into oter platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only one think related to Object, they could be updated more frequently and the library could be bigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
