Many architects still use 2D software in spite of the fact that 3D is increasingly implemented in design and construction. 3D often connotes BIM or Building Information Modeling, which can feel big and cumbersome.
– But it doesn’t have to be!
ArchiCAD’s all-in-one solution offers flexible 2D/3D tools not only for BIM modeling but also for non-BIM tasks such as:
- Modeling with “Sketch-Up” style tools
- Producing sketch and photo renderings
- Developing presentations
- Detailing production drawings
- Generating building schedules
- Improving drawing coordination
- Accessing projects on mobile devices
- and much more…
Attend a seminar to learn more about how these firms and others are improving business with ArchiCAD.
