GRAPHISOFT Ships ArchiCAD 16

By DE Editors

GRAPHISOFT has released ArchiCAD 16. In addition, the company unveiled its BIMComponents.com GDL objects portal, a cloud-based database that allows users to create, search, upload, and download custom BIM components.

The release of ArchiCAD 16 includes the new MORPH tool, a solution for creating custom BIM components, custom structures, and custom elements of the built environment, as well as custom-designed building interiors. Built-in Energy Evaluation allows architects working with ArchiCAD 16 to perform dynamic energy evaluations of their BIM model within ArchiCAD, using BIM geometry analysis and hour-by-hour online weather data of the buildings location. BIMComponents.com, a cloud-based, ArchiCAD-integrated community database, allows users to create, search, upload, and download custom BIM components directly within their native BIM application.
