The integration with other apps is amazing, from my experience this is a really important factor for a good 3d modeling software, CONS The other thing that is a really awsome feature in this program is the costumisation of every single thing, you dont have to download almost any object to compleate the 3d, even the simplification of objects is excelent, you can for example place a door with a lot of details or just a realy minimalistic door from the same object. I Love that in first place is a really intuitive software, the first time that you use this program you can see how easy is to find every tool.

And last but not least, like every program that can be used for professionals as for students it's amazing that they have a student free version. You can model really big proyects and it doesnt have any problem. As is, it's a severely bloated Sketchup pretending to be a BIM package.įor my experience its a program that can run smothly in an ordinary PC, also has an amazing backup, the times that I expirience this programg crashing I didnt lose anything. It's sad because if they spent a few years cleaning up the beast that they've created, it could be a match for Revit.

This is sloppy software development at its finest. Instead of giving users what they need, modify the GUI and give them a bunch of useless crap to try to get them to buy the newest version. Instead of fixing problems and consolidating settings, Graphisoft has decided that their mantra is 'addition.' If something doesn't work right, just add features so that no one notices what they're missing. There are 20 ways to access every objects setting and it will confuse you to no end for the first year. The inability to create 'blocks' is utterly ridiculous and maddening. You'll curse Archicad's lack of ortho snaps. Archicad will force you to be inaccurate unless you fight it to your last breath. You will fudge things with solid element operations that will keep you up at night. You will be piecing together your model using slabs to represent everything under the sun. They function exactly the way they should. It's easy to create what you want and to get it to look the way it should. Sometimes I like that archicad is less rigid than Revit.
