More than that, as I mentioned previously ArchiCAD works with materials and its information, so all your walls, slabs, roofs, beams etc. creating solids, push-pull, subtraction & intersection of solids. ArchiCAD also contains a MORPH tool which simply works just as the SketchUp works viz. SketchUp is easy to use, but so is ArchiCAD. Do you prefer it over other modelling software like Sketchup, Revit, Rhino and if yes then why? ArchiCAD vs SketchUp. Plus, it has the basic CAD capabilities which can be used to draw in a 2D environment, but here the 3D model will be generated automatically with your 2D work or if you work in a 3D environment(Model Space) then your 2D works which contain the drawings will be created or will get updated automatically. For those who aren’t aware of BIM, BIM means Building Information Module which basically treats your 3D models with real-time material properties and Information, unlike SketchUp which treats it just as an amalgamation of Surfaces and Fills. What Is ArchiCAD and how did I come to use it?ĪrchiCAD is a BIM Software of Graph iSOFT company made for Architects, to produce fast, accurate and complex architectural projects with ease. So, I may not be able to provide an in-depth review or analysis, but I have tried to explain what I know in the best possible manner. ❗ Note: I am not a pro in any of this software, I am sharing just what I have experienced while working in these. This guest post is by Palash Trivedi who’s kindly shown us how to create an illustrative scene in ArchiCAD and post-produce it in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Although the usual software as Sketchup and AutoCAD, not to mention Revit as the professional standard, one software we don’t hear much of is ArchiCAD. There’s no time like the present to build your skills and find a tool that works best for you. There is a multitude of software to learn as an architecture student, graduate and professional.
