ArchiCAD 13 - Shared Productivity

Introducing ArchiCAD 13, the latest version of Graphisoft’s award-winning architectural Building Information Modeling (BIM) design software. ArchiCAD 13 marks a turning point in BIM collaboration, allowing multiple users to work in the same model simultaneously.

Why ArchiCAD 13?

• Speed – Thanks to ArchiCAD 13’s collaborative environment, long waiting times for server synchronization are a thing of the past. Our leading edge Delta Server technology dramatically decreases network traffic, so team members can collaborate on BIM models in real time. The same technology makes BIM projects accessible through standard Internet connections from virtually anywhere in the world. Allows for interchange of files in DXF and DWG; IFC files are used for exchange with Revit, IES and other BIM programs.
• Data Safety - Data corruption due to network or hardware failure is a big fear of CAD/BIM Managers: a single faulty computer can literally ruin the work done by the whole office. But the BIM Server”s robust system architecture ensures the integrity of the BIM project at all times. Any data errors from malfunctioning workplaces are blocked, preserving the project’s integrity on the network.
• Workflow - ArchiCAD 13’s new Teamwork, with on-demand element access and server level conflict management, combines the flexibility of 2D workflows with the coordination power of the model-based world. Companies can utilize their workforce much more efficiently with a dynamic and centrally controllable design workflow.
