About Archicad
Archicad is building information modelling software for architects, designers, engineers and other AEC professionals. It covers early design work such as mass modelling, sketches, design options and quantity take-offs, then carries the model through to construction documentation.
Modelling uses familiar building elements such as walls, windows and roofs, and teams can collaborate through OpenBIM workflows. A free trial is available, with downloads including macOS builds; the current version is 29.
Strengths
- Full BIM workflow from concept to construction documents
- Modelling with architectural elements like walls and roofs
- OpenBIM collaboration with other disciplines
Limitations
- Commercial software aimed at professional practices
- Specialised for buildings rather than general 3D work
