Archicad is a powerful modeling and drafting application for use with Microsoft Windows. The software was developed by Archicad USA Corporation, a division of Archicad Software Ltd. It runs on Intel or AMD processors and is available for a range of desktop and mobile systems. For the Windows platforms, this includes Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server, and Windows Server R2. A Mac OS X client is available, but currently there is no Windows Mac OS X client available.
Reception
Peter Cowan wrote a review of this software for Macworld in February 2007. He noted that Archicad had less functionality than the competitor versions of Archicad. He concluded that "in Archicad 10, they have taken steps to bring it in line with the competitors, and that is a good thing, because it gives it a much better reason for existing than other competing software. But in reality, Archicad is still much better, but only just."
John C. Dvorak wrote an article for PC World in November 2007. He noted that the previous major release of Archicad had a release history with frequent updates. Dvorak concluded that Archicad was probably not the right choice for him.
The Los Angeles Times wrote an article about Archicad in October 2007. They wrote that Archicad was the most popular Windows-based CAD software.
Toshinori Kuzumaki wrote an article for PC World in November 2007. He noted that Archicad included a range of features, such as DWG support, library technology, and component management. He concluded that Archicad was probably not the right choice for him.
Criticism of topological model
In Archicad 10.2, the topological model was upgraded to support quadrilateral faces, so that the faces of parts are displayed in the correct topology and are labeled with their assembly sequence. This requires the editing of the model and the replicating of the parts by inserting new faces.
