Did not feel like it would grow at our pace. > > Really good, everything was smooth and intuitive, more options than you probably need, but really well done. ----- ### "Unaffordable for small practitioners" — 1.0/5 > **Jared** | *4 November 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most robust 3D CAD/ BIM software available. > > **Cons**: They constantly change the licensing so you essentially end up buying the software from scratch every few years. You can not upgrade, but you also lose support. Also, the annual updates and features are great, but they need to focus on how to clean up, consolidate, and streamline a lot of these features which are often redundant. Hence, the learning curve is intense and takes years to master the program. > > Due to the constantly changing licensing system, you essentially end up purchasing the software new every few years making it unaffordable for small practitioners. There is a reason why Revit dominates the US market and will continue to do so if they do not make some drastic changes. ----- ### "Archicad is an alright software" — 5.0/5 > **Emmanuel** | *4 August 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its ease of use makes it very easy to pick up > > **Cons**: its interface is not very appealing to new users > > fairly good the only issue I have was that to get good renders you need another app ----- ### "Well designed cad package, Rendering can be improved" — 5.0/5 > **Rimi** | *17 December 2018* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Full feature set, and integration but also interface that is not cumbersome to get used to. Switch from previous packages was not an issue. > > **Cons**: Rendering compared to our other solution was not as crisp, at least from our experience. But end result was good enough for our clients. > > still the overall value would be make it a good option, unless you are already seasoned with a different CAD and BIM package. Also rendering output results and image realism is a consideration to keep in mind. ----- ### "One of the best tools for BIM implementation" — 4.0/5 > **Sadaf** | *16 April 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: ArchiCAD is one of the most innovative platforms for BIM available in the market today. It is a powerful software that can cater to the design needs of architects, interior designers as well as landscape and urban planners. One can either import 2D drafts into ArchiCAD and work on the same to prepare a 3D model; or work on ArchiCAD on Plan mode and the software will automatically generate elevations, sections and 3D views. If the building is multi-storey, it is much easier to correct any minor deficiencies in drafting (that can be missed in the plan view) through the 3D viewer, which makes it perfect to use when trying to pinpoint any errors. There is a wonderful feature in AutoCAD called Solibri Model Checker that can accurately analyse the BIM model to accurately locate errors along with any possible faults in design, and identify areas, where the components used, are clashing. As an Architect, I feel that it is a great tool that can be used to estimate the energy requirements of a building. Moreover, there is a plug-in called EcoDesigner STAR that offers features including energy model visualization, thermal zoning and simulations for energy performance. It is one of the better software I have used for 3D modelling and I never think of switching to any other. > > **Cons**: As is with other similar software, ArchiCAD requires a robust system to operate with a high level of RAM especially when rendering. It does tend to slow down the system a bit especially when you are opening a data-rich file. Secondly, there is a steep learning curve with the software, which is easy to overcome with practice. Apart from these two shortcomings, I have no other major concern that would affect my opinion of this otherwise excellent software. > > As an Architect, I have been able to use ArchiCAD for conceptual designs, detailed drafting, interior layouts as well as generating high-quality elevations, sections and 3D views for all my projects, including presentation drawings. In fact, 3D modelling and rendering have been made simple thanks to ArchiCAD. Visualization, (placing cameras) and gathering documentation are also uncomplicated. Rendering tools are useful and there is no need to get extra plug-ins for performing the same tasks that can be done within the software itself. I consider ArchiCAD to be better than its counterparts, e.g. Revit mainly because it is uncomplicated to use, with the same functionality at an economical investment. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/2018/archicad?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/2018/archicad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
