Integrated BIM Design and Documentation

Archicad 28 brings architectural modeling and documentation together in a coordinated BIM environment. Users can develop building concepts, create detailed three-dimensional models, prepare floor plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and construction drawings, and keep project information synchronized as the design changes.

AI-Assisted Concept Development

The cloud-based AI Visualizer helps users transform conceptual models into high-quality architectural images and investigate alternative design directions. It provides a faster way to communicate ideas, compare visual approaches, and develop presentations without relying entirely on separate visualization applications.

Consistent Project Information with Keynotes

The Keynotes system introduces database-driven management for annotations, specifications, and legends. Standardized notes can be placed throughout project documentation and managed from a central source, helping teams maintain consistent information across layouts and reduce repetitive manual editing.

OpenBIM Collaboration and Data Quality

Archicad 28 supports multidisciplinary coordination through open data formats, including IFC, BCF, and IDS. IDS import helps teams check whether IFC models contain the required information, while improved exchange workflows make it easier to coordinate architectural models with consultants and other project participants.

Efficient Work with Complex Existing Conditions

Enhanced point-cloud capabilities make Archicad 28 suitable for projects based on captured site data, including renovations and refurbishments. Improved performance when handling large datasets helps designers model existing buildings more efficiently and integrate survey information into the BIM workflow.
