ARCHICAD Collaborate overview

What is ARCHICAD Collaborate?

Developed by AEC industry leader, Graphisoft, Archicad Collaborate is a complete BIM (building information modeling) ecosystem tailored to AEC professionals, like architects, designers, and engineers.

Archicad Collaborate empowers you to harness state-of-the-art BIM technologies for designing, documenting, visualizing, and delivering projects of any size.

Archicad Collaborate comprises three products, offering all the necessary tools for an efficient design workflow: Archicad, BIMcloud, and BIMx. Additionally, it enables you to optimize the subscription's value through exclusive tools, training, support, and services.

Archicad has an easy-to-use interface, works on macOS and Windows, and enhances design workflows with robust 2D/3D tools. Features include powerful modeling tools such as Parametric Custom Profiles and Curtain Wall, out-of-the-box documentation tools combined with a powerful publishing workflow (including *.skp, *.rvt, *.bcf, *.pdf, and *.dwg export), next-gen rendering solutions, built-in energy evaluation and issue checking tools, and more.

In addition, Archicad is complemented by the online BIMcloud collaboration environment. BIMcloud enables secure real-time collaboration among architects, BIM managers, and IT professionals, regardless of their physical location, internet speed, or project size. With real-time messaging and streamlined file sharing, teams can collaborate effectively, making informed decisions faster. It serves as the ultimate solution for high-performance teams.

Regarding mobile compatibility, the BIMx viewer app for Android and iOS offers native BIM visualization capabilities for exploring Archicad models. Key features include the "BIMx Hyper-model" for seamless navigation between drawing sheets and 3D models, Google Cardboard VR support, fly-through and walk-through modes, split-view multitasking, and more.

Key benefits of using ARCHICAD Collaborate

  • Powerful set of modeling tools
    Effortlessly create 3D models of your building from a perspective view or design it in a standard plan view with powerful Archicad modeling tools such as highly detailed Objects, complex Curtain Walls, customizable Parametric Profiles in Walls and Columns, MEP-Toolset, and more.


  • Documentation and publishing tools
    Automatically generate all the schedules and 2D views, such as floor plans, sections, and details, alongside 3D views including axonometry, 3D perspectives, and 3D sections. Streamline the process with Publisher in Archicad by collecting, organizing, automating, and simplifying the production of documentation sets, ensuring repeated and consistent output.


  • Built-in next-gen rendering
    Archicad is a BIM software tailored for architects and designers, offering workflow enhancements, and leveraging Maxon's R19 CineRender engine with support for 4K/5K resolution displays.


  • Open Rendering Workflow
    Beyond its built-in engine, architects enjoy the flexibility to use their preferred visualization tools with the same model. Archicad is compatible not only with Cinema4D, Twinmotion, Enscape, and D5 Render, but also facilitates the creation of AI-generated renders through Archicad AI Visualizer powered by Stable Diffusion.


  • Management of your BIM project
    Assign roles and define permissions for your team based on their responsibilities within the project. Host files of any type and hotlink models, access SAF and BCF files and external drawings in Archicad directly from BIMcloud. BIMcloud ensures the securitysecurity in case of disaster of your data through multi-tiered backups and an advanced monitoring and alert system, all without the need for any IT configuration.


  • Flexible and secure collaboration
    Facilitate collaboration among team members in the cloud using BIMcloud Software as a Service, enabling teamwork regardless of location or software. This service supports real-time design on a unified project, allowing team members to exchange updates. A color-coded workspace makes it easy to see who is handling various tasks. BIMcloud SaaS offers features to monitor changes or allocate specific elements to designated employees. Integrated messaging with context-specific functions enhances team coordination.


  • Immersive presentation tools
    Enhance your presentations with BIMx's game-like exploration, offering clients immersive access to 3D models, 2D documentation, and project info. Enjoy smooth 2D to 3D transitions, create 3D sections, and use the sun positioning for realistic views. With BIMx, easily create presentations with the Gallery's pre-set views and present in VR with Google Cardboard. Available on web, laptops, iOS, Android, and Apple Vision Pro.
