Never ordinary
Elevate your designs with the use of free-form tools that turn the ordinary into extraordinary. Model your project at any level — from conceptual volume model to a full Building Information Model.
Stay in the creative flow
Design in both 2D and 3D model views with a toolkit that lets you feel at home with the familiar terminology and functionality that you’ve come to expect from a BIM application — favorites and layers to support your design process; building stories and tools that reflect real-life structures and construction
Model at any level of detail
Start with a basic element and add details as your design evolves. Use tools that represent real building elements — like Walls, Beams, and Slabs — that make modeling as easy as drawing a line.
Design complex elements
Take advantage of Archicad’s flexible modeling systems. Enjoy a creative and productive design experience with intuitive modeling tools like the Curtain Wall and Stair Tool.

Archicad + Algorithmic Design
Leverage the strengths of three unique design environments — Archicad, Grasshopper, and Rhino — to create forms and shapes that otherwise would be nearly impossible! This ‘live’ bi-directional connection pairs Archicad with the industry’s leading algorithmic design tools in a smooth, professional workflow. Explore design variations and create and fine-tune building details and structures using algorithms without exchanging files.
Create your own smart objects
Quickly create custom parametric library objects and building elements — without writing a single line of GDL code or script — with PARAM-O, a built-in parametric design tool available for SSA and Graphisoft Forward subscribers on both Windows and macOS.
The BIM data tool for all stakeholders
Easily manage the functional requirements derived from the building program for maximum compliance with the client’s needs even on large and complex buildings — like hospitals and airports — with the Archicad-dRofus connection tool.
