ArchiCAD is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software platform developed by Graphisoft, designed for architects, designers, engineers, and other AEC professionals. It enables the creation, management, and documentation of building designs through an integrated 3D modeling environment, supporting workflows from concept to construction while serving as the core design application in Graphisoft’s AEC technology ecosystem. The platform includes ArchiCAD for architectural design and modeling, BIMcloud for real-time team collaboration and project sharing across locations, BIMx for interactive 3D presentation and model navigation on mobile and web, and DDScad for specialized Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineering design. These components support OpenBIM workflows, enabling interoperability through standards like IFC, BCF, and IDS. This technology is for architects, architectural designers, and building engineers who require a unified BIM environment to produce coordinated, data-rich models and construction documentation while collaborating across disciplines and project phases.
