Display: A resolution of 1440 x 900 or higher is recommended. You can find a list of recommended graphics cards at: Graphics card: Dedicated OpenGL 2.1 compatible graphics card with on board memory of 1024 MB or more is recommended to fully exploit hardware acceleration capabilities. Hard disk: installing Archicad on a SSD (or Fusion) drive is recommended 5 GB free disk space is required for the installation, 10 GB or more is required per active project. RAM: 16 GB or more is recommended for complex, detailed models 32 GB or more may be required.
Processor: 64-bit processor with four or more cores. Hardware for Archicad 21 Recommended hardware Only 64-bit Operating Systems are supported. The latest updates are required to be installed on all Operating Systems. Incompatible Operating Systems (Archicad cannot be installed) Smoother and Faster 3D Navigation - Better utilization of OpenGL means smooth and lightning-fast navigation - even on extremely large building models.Operating Systems for Archicad 21 Recommended Operating SystemsĬompatible, but not tested Operating Systems. Interactive 3D Surface Painter - ArchiCAD’s new Surface Painter enables designers to change model surfaces in the 3D window with a single click, using a floating palette. Leading the Way in Open BIM - Improved IFC-based collaboration and collision detection (using the MEP Modeler add-on) improves Open BIM collaboration between architects and engineers. Now precise editing and accurate listing can be as easy as sketching your initial concept lines in pencil. Productivity Enhancements - RCHICAD 19 makes the most time- consuming and often boring part of an architect’s work much more fun.
This eliminates all errors due to manual data input while ensuring a lightning-fast, fully-automated, error-free workflow.
Point-Cloud Support - ArchiCAD 19 reads the most common point-clouds, providing faster, error- free building surveys by using the latest 3D scanner laser-survey technology. Plus, true full-screen mode makes ArchiCAD 19 feel like the most "natural" BIM application on the Mac. Brand new Tab-based navigation makes accessing different views and overseeing the BIM project much easier. Improved Work Environment - ArchiCAD 19 provides major work environment improvements for both Mac and Windows users.
That’s the dramatic difference you’ll feel between this next-gen technology and standard BIM software without background processing. This "second guessing" greatly increases the overall responsiveness of the application, so it feels more agile with projects of any kind or size. Background Processing - ArchiCAD 19 takes advantage of unused computer capacity by anticipating what you might do next and preparing those actions in the background.
