ARCHICAD

Vorteile

Es geht gut auf die Bedürftnisse von Architektur ein. Die Verbindung von 2D und 3D ist sehr praktisch.

Nachteile

Das Hochladen des Softwareschlüssel ist mühsam (Bei Verwendung von Laptop und PC). Viele Klicks. Da mal anmelden. Mühsam. Und wenn der Softwareschlüssel heruntergeladen wird wird man tatsächlich gefragt, ob man fortfahren möchte, anstatt, dass das Programm einfach hochfährt.

Das Wording ist sehr altertümlich. Das laden von dwg wird "Interoperabilität" genannt - klingt nach DDR.

Generell gehört die Oberfläche einmal komplett gereinigt und erneuert. Siehe zB die intuitive Oberfläche von Rhino.

Die Auswahl von Objekten ist mehr als mühsam. Siehe auch hier die Einfachheit bei Rhino, Autocad,...

Vorteile

2D Zeichnungen erstellen, Grundrisse, Lagepläne, etc

Nachteile

3D Modelle erstellen ist relativ schwierig und besonders runde Formen sind fast unmöglich.
Alles ist auf einfaches Einfamilienhaus entwerfen ausgerichtet

Vorteile

Die intuitive Bedienung und die geordnete Menüstruktur sprechen für einfaches und schnelles Arbeiten.

Nachteile

Die automatische Massenermittlung ist noch nicht ausgereift; die vorgegebene Layerstruktur ist nicht jedermanns Sache.

Vorteile

The CAD capability that its offered by ARCHICAD is excellent since its easy providing effective Engineering 3D models and import other 3D designs across different modeling platforms.2D drafting for Architectural presentation production and effective simulation and the ability to render final 3D images is incredible.

Nachteile

Valuable Architectural product and easy to get a long especially when your familiar with other CAD systems and easy customization.

Vorteile

Its ease of use makes it very easy to pick up

Nachteile

its interface is not very appealing to new users

Vorteile

Most robust 3D CAD/ BIM software available.

Nachteile

They constantly change the licensing so you essentially end up buying the software from scratch every few years. You can not upgrade, but you also lose support.

Also, the annual updates and features are great, but they need to focus on how to clean up, consolidate, and streamline a lot of these features which are often redundant. Hence, the learning curve is intense and takes years to master the program.

Vorteile

very high level of usability from a Bim standpoint, helpful through the entire building design process.

Nachteile

The price, per seat per month was just more than we were looking to spend as we added more employees. Did not feel like it would grow at our pace.

Vorteile

It integrates well with how we operate at the office. We can seamless work together on bigger projects, as well as manage smaller projects on a one employee level.

Nachteile

In our experience the software lacks some features seen in other competitors software. Even though these features are not crucial for our workflow, it would be a nice addition.

Vorteile

Easy to use, lots of new functionalities, creates a 3D model as you go and it is super easy to get the 2D from it.

Nachteile

A bit expensive and it tales a while to learn.

Vorteile

It's BimX and TeamWork Tool. Also the ability to free form design like in Sketchup.

Nachteile

No automatic rafter tail option, and no custom lintle tool for doors and windows.

Vorteile

The features were intuitive and convenient to use.
Also, the program runs easily even if the computer specification is not good.

Nachteile

Increasingly, the more advanced what I was trying to learn, the longer it took and the lower the performance compared to other programs.
It was a pity that there were sometimes no basic functions in other programs.

Vorteile

ARCHICAD is the mother system when it comes to Construction and Architectural drawings and 3D models production and the effective multiple project file management platform and collaboration is good and nice 3D sharing tool.

Nachteile

The CAD platform is easy to adapt and the starting is also simple especially to those CAD users and setting is simple.

Vorteile

The key feature that I like is the ability to create a complete digital model of a building, including all architectural elements such as walls, doors, windows, and roofs.

Nachteile

What I like the least is the simultaneous work on a project, in other words, collaboration. I have encountered several bugs when using it.

Vorteile

ArchiCAD is an exceptionally utilitarian 3D CAD/BIM framework which will permit you to understand your design dreams in the most ideal way. It is moderately natural to utilize and it's utilization of 3D parametric components makes demonstrating a breeze. Whenever you have aced the fundamental 3D CAD capacities there is likewise a universe of BIM occasions to find too. Elite IFC interfaces make it simple to work together with different experts.

Nachteile

There isn't a great deal to really detest about ArchiCAD, perhaps on the off chance that anything its propensity to crash occassionally. (Be that as it may, by and large it is sufficiently simple to recuperate from close to where you left off...)

Vorteile

the creation of a 2D plan is easy and fast because there are predefined walls, you just have to enter the dimensions

Nachteile

archicad has some bugs and limitations and does not have its own rendering engine

Vorteile

It is a good software for designing with BIM language.

Nachteile

It is too complicated in compare with Revit. I am happy that I switched from Archicad definitely.But I know that a lot of people say it about Revit compared with Archicad so I guess this is more a personal opinion.

Vorteile

I am using it as part of my Diploma Course and having never used CAD before, it is quite intuitive to learn and use

Nachteile

None that I can find at the moment, but I have only been using a few week

Vorteile

what I like most about Archicad, especially version 25 that I had the chance to test, is the ease of use. but above all of handling as well. the streamlined user interface greatly facilitates the workflow. I recommend Archicad to anyone who would like to get into 3D architecture or to anyone looking for powerful, reliable software for their work.

Nachteile

If this opinion that I give reaches the technical team, here is what I think would make Archicad the best 3D Architectural design tool: Rendering! If Archicad really improves its rendering engine (Cine Render) so as to raise it to the level of rendering engines like V-Ray, Rhino or others would be a crushing blow to the competition!

Vorteile

ArchiCAD is one of the most innovative platforms for BIM available in the market today. It is a powerful software that can cater to the design needs of architects, interior designers as well as landscape and urban planners. One can either import 2D drafts into ArchiCAD and work on the same to prepare a 3D model; or work on ArchiCAD on Plan mode and the software will automatically generate elevations, sections and 3D views. If the building is multi-storey, it is much easier to correct any minor deficiencies in drafting (that can be missed in the plan view) through the 3D viewer, which makes it perfect to use when trying to pinpoint any errors.
There is a wonderful feature in AutoCAD called Solibri Model Checker that can accurately analyse the BIM model to accurately locate errors along with any possible faults in design, and identify areas, where the components used, are clashing. As an Architect, I feel that it is a great tool that can be used to estimate the energy requirements of a building. Moreover, there is a plug-in called EcoDesigner STAR that offers features including energy model visualization, thermal zoning and simulations for energy performance. It is one of the better software I have used for 3D modelling and I never think of switching to any other.

Nachteile

As is with other similar software, ArchiCAD requires a robust system to operate with a high level of RAM especially when rendering. It does tend to slow down the system a bit especially when you are opening a data-rich file. Secondly, there is a steep learning curve with the software, which is easy to overcome with practice.
Apart from these two shortcomings, I have no other major concern that would affect my opinion of this otherwise excellent software.

Vorteile

3D capabilities, I was able to start working with the features using Archicad (version 3) the day I got the program

Nachteile

I find some of the newer features including the shell, morph, stair and railing tools difficult to use. I miss the fact some of the original roof tool features are put onto the shell tool instead; the original roof tool allowed more ease to construct most types of curved roofs more precisely in the section view; the shell tool works more easily in the 3D form which doesn't have the accuracy. My strategy to use the shell tool in a curved roof is to build a temporary wall the length and height of the extreme points, click on the wall to make the grey selection appear and freehand draw the curve with the pet pallet curve tools. I do not know how to make precise 3D points within the line.
I use the morph tool to mostly make simple shapes: anything more complicated quickly turns into a jumbo. The morph tool is useful to tilt a Slab or other object like a 2X12 joist (Beam Tool) edge wise at a particular angle. We often use this process to make intricate shapes or filigree forms like tracery though we usually make these shapes by drawing our cut lines on a slab, create the holes using the space bar, selecting the piece with the marquee, go to parallel projections in View and "photograph" it at the angle we want to create a new custom object.
I miss arch top windows in the window library in which the corners are not radial but sharp; also miss arched top windows with unequal legs. Real Windows had better windows including arch tops when they worked with earlier versions of Ar

Vorteile

The Rendering feature is just amazing in ArchiCAD. The output of the render is very accurate with the materials used and is of the best quality. It makes my day-to-day work easy.

Nachteile

Every feature is amazing in Archicad but the user interface can be a little easier to use. Otherwise, every feature works perfectly.

Vorteile

Easy to use. Icons, simplicity, organization of the project browser and 3D modeling.

Nachteile

The capacity of family creation with fluidity that could be some more like rhinoceros or similar.

Vorteile

This program has many advantages. It can be used to create simple projections, sections, 3D models and fully advanced concepts. It is intuitive, has a large database of libraries that can be expanded and interesting elements for visualization can be downloaded from the Internet, such as silhouettes of people, vehicles, plants, etc.I also like that you can import plans from other programs and use them in Archicad. The program works on Mac and Windows, supports many file export formats. Students can download the free 30-day or annual version.

Nachteile

You need to start with the service course. While the use of the program is not difficult, the use of the program's capabilities requires training. It is good to have a good computer, a large monitor or a touchscreen monitor in addition.

Vorteile

ArchiCAD is a modern software for projects related to architecture, ArchiCAD offers you features like 2D and 3D design, estimation, which is great and it adapts to several terminal. the interface is really superb

Nachteile

I don't have any cons for this product i like and used it.

Vorteile

Archicad is easy to use even with beginners. The layout is simple and direct to the point. It's layer organisation is also useful when it comes to project execution.

Nachteile

It's not a rendering software. More of a drafting/BIM software.

Vorteile

the fact of being able to have good quality models and renderings so it is easy to have the elements or equipment of a house such as chairs, tables, cars, window models to allow a good overview

Nachteile

it is not easy to understand it without having had to do some work beforehand, so not being able to have a black background is really a problem for me

Vorteile

As a civil engineer, using BIM software is essential for my day to day work. Usually I'm working as a Software Engineer, still, I'm doing simple house projects for my clients as draftsmen & I really satisfied with ArchiCAD to fulfil my clients' requirements. It is simple and more powerful. Can easily handle this software If we are familiar with AutoCAD because it's pretty similar UI like AutoCAD. ArchiCAD helps us to create powerful 3D drawings with more details. We can get detailed rendering even quicker when compared to the other market available BIM software.

Nachteile

It's hard to find cons over this vendor. Need some stability upgrades over issues for crashing the software for working larger products. Need some RAM management improvement for this software. Other than these, ArchiCAD is perfect software.

Vorteile

ArchiCAD allows the user a great deal of specificity when it comes to the 2D and 3D look of different objects, walls, doors, etc. Used in coordination with BIMx, it is an outstanding tool for combining visualization and documentation.

Nachteile

Given that there is such a high level of allowable customization, it is not as easy to use "out-of-the-box". Without a more highly specified internal, firm-created template, there is a high learning curve to get CDs to look the way you want them to look.

Vorteile

Can model both schematically and detailed. Like the aesthetics of the 3d window. Love graphic overrides. I'm a mac user so its nice to not have to spilt my operating system to accommodate a pc based software.

Nachteile

Wish its object library were more residential focused.

Vorteile

visualisation 3d parféte par rapport a d'autre logeciel

Nachteile

les élément de structure du projet font pas l'objet d'une bonne gestion aprés la réalisation

Vorteile

World class software, easy to use. great customer support. a more morden way to do architecture

Nachteile

To pricey.the priceing is jut too much affect solo practices who cant afford it

Vorteile

Easy to build the models and generate the presentation and construction drawings.

Nachteile

Take a while to get used to the software from AutoCAD.

Vorteile

Contrairement à d'autres logiciels ARCHICAD est conçu pour des dessins bâtiments et très rapide quand je dessine avec cet logiciel

Nachteile

ARCHICAD est très lent voir ne peut pas fonctionner avec des ordinateurs à faible puissance.

Vorteile

ARCHICAD est un logiciel qui facilite l'achitecture 3D et également permet de gérer une construction.

Nachteile

ARCHICAD est un logiciel qui nécessite un temps d'adaptation préalable pour mieux cerner les fonctionnalités qu'il propose.

Vorteile

Its a bim program and thats about it i think.

Nachteile

The only reason we use archicad is simply that it is slightly better than revit. The problem with the program is that instead of cleaning up the extreme amount of mess they simply add useless new features constantly... which piles ontop of a thousand other useless things, making it less and less intuitive with every release. The absolute biggest problem though is simply how insanely badly optimized the program is. It simply doesnt matter how strong a computer you have... you will sit and wait for that blue circle spinning round and round for ages....

Vorteile

Un logiciel d'architecture très géant dans l'univers du BIM, ARCHICAD est l'outil la plus facile à utiliser et en général un logiciel plus simple qui a permis à notre entreprise d'atteindre le résultat souhaité. Ses multiples fonctionnalités nous permet de partager des fichiers de projet avec nos clients et nos collaborateurs.

Nachteile

ARCHICAD présente un prix assez élevé, les possibilités de modélisation sont très limitées.

Vorteile

Easy switch between 2d and 3d information. Good render function. Great for teamwork. Easy to get qauntities.

Nachteile

Cost are high. There should be a plugin for price calculation of design based on location and complexity. No plugin yet for Enscape for Mac users

Vorteile

Un logiciel très satisfaisant du point de vue de sa précision , du degré de travail et de finesse . Très efficace pour l'architecte comparant à Autocad par exemple , c'est un gain de temps tout en restant professionnel précis et correcte dans les documents que l'on produit.

Nachteile

Pas à ma connaissance, Come tout logiciel la clé est la pratique sur ce dernier.

Vorteile

this software is very good thanks to its rendering, and with it you don't have to draw the internal elements of a house yourself.

Nachteile

I find that the dashboard of the new versions of this software can disturb those who are not used to the previous versions.

Vorteile

Plusieurs aspects rendre archicad agréable au moment d'utilisation d'abord les outils de dessinRendu 3D mètre bim.........

Nachteile

L'aspect le moins apprécié c'est le prix

Vorteile

good for cooperation between betwwen all groups in a projects.Easy to crash-check possible collisions. good for comunication with both entreprenours and costumers.

Nachteile

not always easy to get help when file shuts down. We used to work and save directly to a server. this did not work well with big models.

Vorteile

Facile d'utilisation, moins gourment en stockage, pas besoin d'un ordinateur super puissant pour installer archicad. La modélisation 3D est bien complète.

Nachteile

Beaucoup d'étapes pour réussir un bon métré du bâtiment ou ouvrage conçu.

Vorteile

I enjoy Archicad because it is easier to use than most other CAD programmes. it contains lot of functions including presentation drawings, working drawings, rendering, and etc. It can also sketch, design, and create a model simultaneously. You don't need any other programmes to create 2D drawings or colour presentations.  BIM cloud makes it incredibly easy to operate with outside of the workplace.

Nachteile

in this software no more thing which is dislikable. largely long-standing usability issues that I hope Graphisoft would address.The software has become so dense with capabilities, not to mention freshly added operations, that it can be hard to find.

Vorteile

J'ai apprécié la facilité d'utilisation de l'interface utilisateur, la vaste bibliothèque d'objets préconçus pour la modélisation. J'ai aussi apprécié la possibilité de travailler en collaboration en temps réel, ainsi que la flexibilité de personnalisation de l'outil.

Nachteile

L'ajout de plugins et de fonctionnalités supplémentaires peut être coûteux et nécessiter une formation complémentaire.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ARCHICAD

Vorteile

ARCHICAD a été l'un des premiers logiciels à adopter la modélisation d'information du bâtiment (BIM) et a une longue histoire de développement de cette fonctionnalité. La modélisation BIM intégrée d'ARCHICAD permet aux utilisateurs de créer des modèles 3D complets avec une grande précision.

Nachteile

Problèmes de performance avec ARCHICAD lorsque tu travailles sur des projets de grande taille ou des modèles complexes. Cela peut entraîner des temps de chargement lents ou des blocages du logiciel.
