ArchiCAD 18 offers a streamlined workflow solution, keeping architects in the state of the creative design flow with as little disruption as possible. The integration of CineRender, MAXON’s world-class CINEMA 4D rendering engine into ArchiCAD 18, brings high quality, photo-realistic rendering images closer to a much wider range of designers, Graphisoft reports. Additionally, the software provides new, fully integrated Revision Management workflows and streamlined PDF support to greatly improve design data exchange and change management with clients, consultants and the authorities. ArchiCAD 18 also continues to support OPEN BIM workflows and introduces the first architectural BIM application with full BIM Collaboration Format support. Further, it offers an industry-first, real-time BIM collaboration regardless of the size, location or distribution of the collaborating team.
