About ArchiCAD A Virtual Buil ding Solution

ArchiCAD is anarchitectural BIM CAD software

for Macintosh and Windows developed by the

Hungarian company Graphisoft .

The newest version (2011) is ArchiCAD 15.

Development of ArchiCAD started in 1982 for theoriginal Apple Macintosh.

ArchiCAD is recognized as the first CAD producton a personal computer able to create both 2Ddrawings and parametric 3D geometry

The concept used is (BIM)Building Information Modeling

Phil Bernstein of Autodesk first used the term BIM

First implementation of BIM was under the Virtual

Building concept by Graphisoft ' s ArchiCAD , in1987

ArchiCAD allows the user to work with either a 2D or3D representation on the screen. Two-dimensional

drawings can be exported at any time, even though themodel in the program's database always stores data inthree dimensions. Plans, elevations, and sections are

generated from the three dimensional virtual buildingmodel and are constantly updated if the user 'rebuilds'the view.
