ArchiCAD 18 offers a streamlined workflow solution, keeping architects in the state of the creative design flow with as little disruption as possible.

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.

Further, it offers an industry-first, real-time BIM collaboration regardless of the size, location or distribution of the collaborating team.
