ARCHICAD 21 is the leading Building Information Modelling (BIM) software application used by architects, designers, engineers, and builders, to professionally design, document and collaborate on building projects. ARCHICAD 21 introduces the highly-anticipated Stair Tool, Railing Tools which make the design more authentic and real. It introduces a flexible way to classify elements and spaces for better support of national or company standards and for unprecedented interoperability between project stakeholders. It has a unique feature of Pro-Visualization based on MAXON’s Cinema 4D v18 rendering engine which offers architects high quality, photo-realistic rendering in the BIM context. The latest version introduces Light Mapping and Secondary GI methods for more realistic, yet fast rendering.
With the evolution of BIM as the de facto workflow, architects increasingly receive consultant information in a BIM format which helps architects fulfill their role as lead coordinator of the model. It also offers creative work and design documentation of a project in 7D environment with the help of which one can find the potential flaws and weaknesses in the design before construction. The dimensions like time, cost, environmental impact and facility management can be incorporated at the stage of designing and planning itself. This avoids clashes at the later stage of implementation which has direct bearing on the timely completion and cost saving on the projects. Not only it makes the tedious task of documentation easy, it also makes it easier to make changes in the design. And Cloud-based collaboration lets the user works on any network, hardware or software configuration connecting teams and projects of any size or setup.
Laszlo Toke, International Sales Manager, Graphisoft commented, “GRAPHISOFT continues to lead the industry with innovative solutions such as ARCHICAD 21 which is the world’s top designing tools. Today we have launched this new version worldwide and India is always a primary market for us. We have been receiving a very good response from the market and we are very much confident that our new product will also transform the quality of information used in building industry and make the professionals work smoother and highly advanced. It will change construction practice completely and would make great change in Indian Infrastructure scenario.”
