Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • With the release of ArchiCAD V23 there are a lot of new features that have increased my more flow. The integration of add-ons like TwinMotion and the new an improved coloumns and beams tools.
  • Sometimes I like that archicad is less rigid than Revit. It's easy to create what you want and to get it to look the way it should.
  • Cons

  • It is difficult to find enough learning material and what already exists is very difficult for understandning for people out of coding world.
  • Archicad will force you to be inaccurate unless you fight it to your last breath. You'll curse Archicad's lack of ortho snaps.
