Experience BIM with ArchiCAD
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the latest trend in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry. With the advent of new technologies such as BIM the building industry becomes more and more competitive for all participants. Whether you are a practicing design professional or someone who is just studying (or teaching) building design, MyArchiCAD.com offers all the tools you need to learn (or to teach) BIM through a pragmatic “implementation” approach.Why switch to BIM?
The main advantage of BIM comes from the new concept of creating a central “virtual” Building Information Modeling for retrieving information and to generating associative documentation from the model. GRAPHISOFT's flagship product, ArchiCAD was the first implementation of Building Information Modeling introduced in 1987 as the Virtual Building concept.
