the ease of revisions affecting all aspects of documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is still far too much programming involved. There needs to be artificial intelegence that thinks for us regarding what layer an element is to be placed on, line weights, documents need to be more automated in their setup and rely less on our "Company Templates" That seams to be an excuse to these not to be programmed in.

Artificial Inteligence needs to perform far more functions so architects can spend more time designing. Waterproofing details, walls details, roof details, are the sameish all around the world. There need to be programming depending on country, city, etc. for standardization for all of the mundane tasks a virtual robot ie. ArchiCAD can perform.

We love the program but it can do far more of the standardized tasks for us. We are still spending far too much time cleaning up drawings in elevation and section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was enlisted by Charles River Software (the original creators of Revit) in the late 1990's to be a part of their Pioneer Program. At that time I saw the potential for what BIM could do and how it would effect a better workflow for the design of buildings, large and small. After selling to AutoDesk, I looked for other sources of BIM software. I came to Archicad in version 8. At the time I used it only for a visulaization tool. I have never looked back. In 2013, I began using Archicad as my only software to produce the work I was designing, Since version 8, Archicad has simply improved every year with its ease of use, shallow learming curve, easy to use educational tools, robust data compilation, and basically the availabilty to work almost the same way as when everything was drawn by hand.

Most of the work I create with Archicad has very strong resembalence to what I produced by hand prior to 1985.

I have been successful in getting a couple of decent sized firms to turn away from AutoCad and begin using Archicad. Those firms say they would never go back after the experience of using such an intuitive product as Archicad. In my opinion, Archicad is the best BIM product available at a reasonable price.

The only minor complaint I have is updating my template year after year. But, the number of improvements that come about each year make it worth while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's ease of use as a program. It is much easier to use than Revit and much more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not a large amount of useful objects that are available for US users. Many objects are in metric since this program is widely used outside of the US. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Graphisoft has evolved the platform the tools have dramatically improved. They continue to listen to the user group for their needs and then evolove the tools to provide new features and improvments. The tools are intuitve and follow a logicial work flow. The cost is another great story; Buy a seat, rent a seat; or buy hours for a seat. with these options the anual cost per seat is amzingly afforadable for all sie firms. The ROI for a new staff from onboard learning to production is a breeze. Tool from concept design to CD's through CA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so much about the tool but rather having more consultants of MEP & Strcutral working on the platofrm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The solid teamwork setup, facilitating collaboration with large project teams. The increased interaction with Graphisoft support staff on the new Forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The focus on marketing driven and not relvant new 'features', instead of listening to long standing suggestions for improving basic functionality. Annual release cycle of non-production ready versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Archicad since version 4.0. I was a Mac user and it was one of two apps that I reviewed that ran on Apple machines. The other one dissappeared from the market after about maybe 10 years. Fortunately I chose Archicad. It has developed in leaps and bounds since then. It's lacking nothing and I love how intuitive it is to use. It's like Sketchup on steroids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having a large enough user base to get third-party companies to quickly update their add-ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of command are self explanatory, ease to make a template to fit your need and make modiications as needed for the project.Hopw all markers are linked together so if any chages are done, all linked drawings chege at the same time. The layout book is easy to set up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpsul thing is then I do round opbjects in view them in 3d , it gets distorded, also when I morph a radius slab object. onlso the ability to comunicate with some other software, like importing solidwork files or vectorworks files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The brilliant Teamwork function allowing multiple users to collaborate across different offices and disciplines. Graphic overrides are great too :) The Graphisoft team does a fantastic job in creating user group meetings and events and are always on hand if we need support.

Sometimes long wait times and no background function automation for publishing and similar tasks - we work on large models and publish large numbers of drawings and hotlinks. It would be great if we could hit publish and then go on working whilst archicad creates the files in the background - needs to multitask more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I have immediate access to every aspect of my project and that it is incredibly organized (& has become even more organized in the most recent version). I also like that I can quickly throw together a very completely looking drawing set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Version 27 seems to have some glitches which need to be fixed. Also it would be nice if ArchiCAD offered more library parts for electrical fixtures and door options and also if the vanity part was set up like the rest of the cabinetry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Designing in 3D, BIMx integration, Easy Presentation for clients to see their building in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dimension strings are not exact like Revit and you can't adjust element locations using dimension strings like Revit. Though some added features in the later versions have helped tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
