All

For many years we have been running different BIM training programs from basic to most advanced topics. But, between all the training programs, we have a unique kick-starting course that is valued most by our clients as the best place to start the real self-BIM-implementation. This training program called “ARCHICAD BIM Management Essentials”, also known as “BIM+ARCHICAD M1”. In the past seven years, we continuously run this 10-session essential and intensive training. Since the first edition...

Barcelona, 13 June 2019 On 14th May 2019 GRAPHISOFT announced the release of ARCHICAD 23, and on 4th June held its world premiere in Las Vegas. Now we are happy to announce very first public webinar of ARCHICAD 23 in Spain Click here to register for free

During June 2019 we held first series of ARCHICAD 23 webinars for Spanish market. It was an amazing experience when we received many happy and encouraging feedback from attendees to our webinars.

Nowadays you can access to many different resources to learn new skills such as reading this blog post, watching know-how videos, attending webinars, and so on, then why do you bother to attend #graphisoftLEARN Master Classes in Budapest? Well, if this is how you think about this event, then you are missing out one of the best opportunities to take your ARCHICAD and BIM skills to next level. 

In ARCHICAD 23 we can use a new tool to place openings in load-bearing elements. This tool enables architects and engineers to easily exchange data about openings in structural elements such as beams or load-bearing walls, but very smartly for structural reasons not applicable to columns. For instance, now when architects need to consider the space for passing pipes, they can place the new opening type in their model, which would be referenced and considered in both structural and MEP model...

ARCHICAD 23 brings a fast and highly reliable performance to deal with BIM models. We all know multi-core process capacity of ARCHICAD as a key differentiator between ARCHICAD and other BIM authoring software, but the new version of ARCHICAD brings much more smart way manage resources to provide better user experience. In this post I want to highlight 5 important new features of ARCHICAD 23 that provide much higher performance for different workflows:

ARCHICAD widely known as one of the best (or the best) BIM authoring software that provides most comprehensive IFC import and export with absolute control over all the parameters of the elements within an IFC file. It is a true OPENBIM solution, but parallel to be one of the best solutions for OPENBIM interoperability, ARCHICAD 23 provides a unique system integration with selected pioneer BIM solutions to improve productivity and quality of BIM-based design, build, and building operations.

ARCHICAD 23 announced with a brand-new structural modeling tool for column and beams. This new feature is not just a fancy upgrade of existing column and beam tool, but a revolutionary solution that enables element-level modeling for columns and beams. It comes very handy specially when we are dealing with modeling, data management, and documentation of prefabricated structural elements such as reinforced concrete, steel, timber and composite structures.

What a pleasure to share a success case story about one of our ARCHICAD customers that has started working with ARCHICAD around 2-3 years ago. Of course, always the definition of success is subjective, but for us as distributor and training center of GRAPHISOFT in Spain, seeing our customer creativity and confident unleash in their workflow bring us feeling of success. Yesterday, case study of BD House project, designed by Xavier Vilalta and his talented ARCHICAD team (Candela Juan, Project...

As previous versions of ARCHICAD has fulfilled most of necessities and requirements (or perhaps all) of architects, ARCHICAD 23 will be a unique release of ARCHICAD that is now working towards more engineering BIM solutions to empower engineers that need to work side by side of architects. So, as ARCHICAD distributor and training center, we have started to release different technical materials for ARCHICAD 23 such as series of webinars, technical articles, new feature videos in Spanish and so...

If you have an account in any GRAPHISOFT portal through social media credentials (such as facebook or google), from 15th August 2019, you cannot use the same credentials to login to your portals (example: myARCHICAD, License Pool, BIMx portal, etc.). To be able to keep your account activated, you need to convert your social media credentials in GRAPHISOFT portals to a regular account. In a simple explanation, you will login to your GRAPHISOFT portals only through email and password.

We all know that BIM has been introduced into construction industry by slogan of save time and money (plus being more efficient and accurate). But the real question is, how shall we explain this slogan in real practice. Let’s look at MacLeamy diagram, the comparison of preferred design process (graph 4) and traditional methods (graph 3) shows that the main challenge and efforts of design process shift to schematic and design development phase by using preferred design process. It means faster...
