Features:
With ArchiCAD 12 Graphisoft has concentrated its programming talent on
industry-innovating speed, a powerful new curtain wall design system,
and an innovative 3D documentation functionality that allows for
dimensions and annotations to work in 3D views. In the area of speed
improvements, Graphisoft is leading the industry in the aggressive
utilization of multiple processors or multi-core chips. Architosh has an
exclusive report on how the BIM innovator has jumped out ahead of the
industry in the area of multi-threading and algorithmic optimization. In
the area of design the sexiest new feature is the new Curtain Wall tool,
based upon ArchiCAD 12s new System Technology which will serve as the
foundation for future system oriented building component design. This
system, based on a flexible hiearchical structure of schemes, physical
members and accessories, allows the user to easily develop and control
(edit) an entire curtain wall system from the macro level down to the
smallest detail. Another rich feature addition is the new Partial
Structure Display system which allows the user to see rich composite
structures down to the slab and back out to the entire wall, floor, roof
assemblt, but with logical steps in the middle. In the area of
documentation it is now possible to use any 3D view of the model as the
basis for creating a document where dimensions, annotations and even 2D
drawing elements may be added |
