Archicad vs revit software#

This site I spent lots of time on.but the owner decided that houses from the local builder supply was cheaper.even though he paid us to design all of this to CD level. Nothing fancy, but it shows AC is pretty decent.but I was limited to just what came out of the box which drove the architect I worked for crazy. Pic is small, but I was working on this house before I left the company (they couldn't figure out why I left.probably something about my paycheck bouncing.twice).The 3D view was 3 different models linked into one and rendered. Also AC is great for folks working on Log Homes. In short, ArchiCAD is great for architects/designers building houses.for what I work on now I would shoot myself if I was given ArchiCAD to do it. I could answer all those comments.but you will find a bunch of them already over at AUGI. Ultimately, I think that it’s going to be hard for ArchiCAD to compete with Revit’s leading position in the AEC industry and Autodesk’s might and muscle by simply being just another BIM solution like the list is about that long for all the stuff that Revit can do that ArchiCAD can't.and quite a few of those are obsolete with the release of 2012. Lachmi Khemlani, when reviewing the whitepaper, says in her article: What do you think? Revit, or ArchiCAD, and why? Highly efficient, and fast 3D workflow environment.

With ArchiCAD – the proven BIM software that provides an elegant, Moving to BIM is easier, less risky, and ultimately more profitable, Provides a superior solution: a true relational database. Security of your data and project files is paramount, and ArchiCAD Other product does and has really good solutions to lots of building Less risk because it is a mature product. Solved a lot of things along the way,” Gonzales continues. “It’s a pretty mature technology and it’s resolved a lot of things and

I haven’t even looked at trying to open / upgrade / convert Plotmaker PMK files yet… Then play around with IFC2x3 settings to make things come to Revit ok. I then wanted to embed the libraries, but I think embedded libraries first came to ArchiCAD in version 14? So I basically had to open in ArchiCAD 10, save, then open in ArchiCAD 16, then embed libraries. However, I couldn’t open it directly in ArchiCAD 16, so I had to open it in ArchiCAD 10 first. Why was I looking at an ArchiCAD 10 help file, you may rightly ask? I was trying to upgrade an ArchiCAD 7.0 file and then export to IFC2x3. I recall requesting this feature under some NDA project, but as yet, Revit can not do this without an add-in getting involved.Īlong the lines of this discussion, I have created a new topic at BIMdebates:īIMdebates: A central, live and linked component Library is better than static components in residing in a Project file I think an important consideration is Control - if the library is Linked (ArchiCAD), do you have control over the program to say “hey, don’t overwrite this component, I like it the way it is.” Similarly, if the components are all residing in a single project file (Revit), it would be nice to have the ability to one-click reload all updated families from a central Family RFA storage location. Personally, I believe there are pros and cons to each method. Is it better to have all project components (ArchiCAD libraries, Revit families) living in the project, or is it better to have them residing in a central server location where they are regularly updated and reloaded? This sparked an animated discussion on Twitter that essentially boils down to this: I love that #Revit families live in the RVT.Found this pic on ArchiCAD 10 help…confused?
