Import and Export Archicad Element Properties via IFCĪrchicad 22 has improved the quality and precision of exported Component and Material information to IFC2x3 and IFC4. Select any combination of drawing primitives (lines, arcs, polylines), plus Text Blocks (including Element-related Autotexts), then save and use them as a Label.

Productivity and Workflow Enhancements Show moreĪrchicad 22 brings several productivity improvements, providing easier and more intuitive building design, faster and more precise construction documentation, more accurate schedules and cost estimation. Multiple cores of the computer’s CPU are further enhanced with a patent pending algorithm to utilize the changing needs of continuous – panning or zooming – navigation in the background. Generation of complex element fills, cut- and cover surfaces are “GPU-accelerated”, performed by the computer graphics processing unit. Its automatic workflow lets you define any calculation rule as an element property value and update it automatically, without time-consuming and error-prone manual data entry. This new function greatly enriches the information – or “I” component – of BIM. Expression Defined Property Values Show moreĪrchicad 22 allows you to use logical expressions to derive new properties and property values that depend on the element’s own parameters. The height of the layers of composite structures, for example, can now be adjusted individually. By adjusting the dimensions of the Parametric Custom Profile’s skins, the same Profile can be fit into several different details in the project. Thanks to so-called "Custom Geometry Modifiers," architects can use one Profile to describe several different custom wall, column and beam geometries. This will allow the offset of the individual or multiple edges centrally for the Profile Attribute or at the instance level – either graphically or via element settings. Create more intelligent Profiles for Walls, Beams, and Columns, by defining parametric edges in the Profile Editor.
