Original License Guaranteed by Licensel.com

Graphisoft Archicad 28 is the BIM design software for architects and engineers: you build a model of the building and from it plans, sections, elevations, schedules and take-offs derive automatically. It is the tool of architecture practices, designers and technical offices working on coordinated projects. The license is annual and is available for Windows and macOS.

Why choose Graphisoft Archicad 28

The difference between drawing and modelling lies in what happens when the project changes. With a traditional CAD, moving a window means correcting the plan, then the section, then the elevation, then the window schedule: four separate operations, with the real risk that one is forgotten and the drawings no longer match.

In Archicad the window is an element of the model: you move it once and every drawing updates together. This is why BIM has established itself in coordinated design, where the cost of misalignment between drawings is paid on site. The model also holds material information, from which take-offs and quantities are derived with no separate calculation.

What Graphisoft Archicad 28 is and what it is for

Archicad 28 builds an information model of the building in which every element, from wall to beam to window, has real properties: dimensions, build-up, material, performance. Plans, sections and elevations are not independent drawings but views of the same model, and all update when the model changes.

From the model come window schedules, quantity take-offs, areas and volumes, along with laid-out drawings and construction details. Clash detection flags points where different elements occupy the same space, while IFC exchange makes it possible to coordinate work with structural and services engineers using other programs. Built-in rendering produces presentation images without leaving the software.

Key features

• Single building model
  Walls, floors, roofs and openings are elements with real properties: plans, sections and elevations are views of the same model, not independent drawings.
• Automatic updating of the drawings
  You move a window in the plan and the change appears in every section, elevation and schedule: inconsistencies between drawings disappear.
• Take-off of quantities and areas
  The model holds the information about materials, so measurements, volumes and quantities are derived directly with no manual calculation.
• Clash detection
  Identifies points where different elements occupy the same space, for example a beam and a duct, before the problem reaches the building site.
• Libraries of parametric objects
  Doors, windows, stairs and furnishings adapt automatically to the context they are placed in, keeping their associated information.
• Built-in photorealistic rendering
  Presentation images generated directly from the model, with no export to an external program.
• Data exchange in IFC format
  The open BIM standard makes it possible to exchange the model with structural and services engineers using other software.
• Complete project documentation
  Laid-out drawings, schedules, construction details and reports generated from the model and updated along with it.
