ARCHICAD 26 is a CAD design program that is especially needed in the design and documentation phases of construction projects. This program is designed for professionals and students of this industry, and also provides a new concept of collaboration, offering a new system for exchanging files with other users, which will increase your productivity.

ArchiCAD is a powerful modeling application that enables architects to design buildings more efficiently using Virtual Building technology. ArchiCAD enables architects to focus on design, working alone or in a team, while sharing data with consultants and specialists in other fields. With ArchiCAD, you will discover the benefits of architectural design in 3D space and enjoy incredible freedom in your work.

ArchiCAD significantly changes the capabilities of the average user by allowing them to use third-party BIM components in their projects. Coupled with the cloud database, the new modeling capabilities in ArchiCAD allow architects to create, search, upload and download new BIM components for use in their projects.

The fully integrated web portal in ArchiCAD is a single hub for sharing BIM components between users. BIMcomponents.com also provides a centralized location for all GDL objects, making them available to all ArchiCAD users whenever they need them.

The construction industry is constantly changing: new materials, designs, ideas and technologies appear every day. It can be said that building components are one of the most actively developing areas in the construction BIM industry. GDL technology used in ArchiCAD is a powerful professional tool for creating highly intelligent parametric elements. However, not all users are ready to create their own GDL objects. It is to them that the fundamental changes that have occurred in ArchiCAD are addressed!

Now any user can not only model their object in volume, but also upload the created BIM component to a single cloud database of objects. A unique description is created for newly added objects, by which other users can instantly find not only this object, but also dozens of similar ones using keywords. Then all that remains is to select the elements necessary for your BIM project and upload them with one click of the mouse.

It is unique that all the described operations are carried out within ArchiCAD – the program provides a full set of tools for creating, searching, loading and unloading objects directly from the Objects dialog! In addition, all posted BIM objects can be found on the specialized web portal BIMcomponents.com, which provides the necessary tools for self-organization of the ArchiCAD user community: comments, object ratings, updates, etc. Thus, the new technology for loading/unloading BIM components and the new site are a unique centralized resource for exchanging GDL objects.
