ARCHICAD 23 - BIM IN AN INSTANT
ARCHICAD 23 delivers an even more responsive BIM performance by increasing the speed of everyday design and editing processes and ensuring uninterrupted routines for the most frequently used tasks. The brand-new Opening Tool and the advanced Column and Beam tools further increase modeling accuracy, enabling fast editing and streamlined, error-free, interdisciplinary design coordination.

DESIGN
RE-ENGINEERED COLUMN AND BEAM TOOLS
ARCHICAD 23 enables architects to model faster and create accurate construction details and quantity estimations for reinforced concrete, complex steel, timber, composite, and beams.
Complex columns and beams can now be created using extruded and multiple, tapered segments, and sub-elements. This enables designers to us push-and-pull editing operations in 2D and 3D model views.
Beams and columns can be displayed with contour lines and/or reference axis, using various projected and symbolic views with editable cover fills.

COORDINATION
VOIDS, NICHES AND RECESSES
ARCHICAD 23 introduces a new Opening tool dedicated to model and coordinate project design voids, recesses and niches as horizontal, vertical or slanted openings across elements, element groups or even across stories.
Such openings are important for project coordination as they are equally relevant for architects, engineers and consultants and must be documented by architects and by engineers.
Openings can be modelled, scheduled, and documented using intuitive tools, and shared using open IFC standards.

Renewed Solibri connection
COLLABORATION
ARCHICAD 23 enables seamless code- and constructability checking at any stage of the design. The updated Solibri add-on automatically detects and sends only those elements that are changed in the ARCHICAD model, resulting in faster round-trip collaboration.

Enhanced dRofus connection
COLLABORATION
Enhanced ARCHICAD - dRofus connection enables designers to capture and organize client planning requirements, collect and handle planning rules and design data with ease, even when working on large and complex projects, like hospitals, airports and universities.

Rhino-Grasshopper-ARCHICAD
COLLABORATION
Rhino-Grasshopper-ARCHICAD live connection introduces the new Deconstruct Component that can extract ARCHICAD element surface data as a design reference and changes to the core design scheme in BIM model will automatically update design algorithms in Grasshopper.
TWINMOTION and ARCHICAD DIRECT LINK for professional, real-time visualization
Work on your BIM project while displaying high-end visualizations on the fly, enabling informed design decisions and compelling client presentations. Recommended for architects, interior designers, urban planners and landscaping professionals to easily produce high-quality images, panoramas, and standard or 360° VR videos in seconds.

Performance
Faster Response Times
ARCHICAD 23 puts a special emphasis on offering an uninterrupted flow starting from launching the software, accessing project data and navigating one’s way through the Building Information Model. This is achieved through a combination of raw performance optimization, streamlined workflows and reduced file sizes.

PRO Visualization
CineRender | Twinmotion connection
The new CineRender (R20) engine developed by Maxon allows quicker and cleaner rendering results, while the completely renewed, built-in Surface Catalog provides real reflections, with modernised textures. ARCHICAD 23 users will have access to Epic Games’ upcoming enhanced version of Twinmotion, free of charge.

Interoperability
Supported file formats
ARCHICAD 23 fully supports IFC4 Reference View (its new entity and geometry representation types), and has received official buildingSMART certification for IFC4 Reference View Export. Also supports import of Bentley MicroStation’s native, DGN v8 file format, typically used by civil engineers or surveyors.
