That is assuming they are not standing right next to you, which in today’s globalized world means many key members of our teams are not. In other BIM programs you literally are asked to make a phone call in order to communicate the part of allowing others on the team to know you would like to make a “borrow” request, to ask them to release elements for you to work on, and to complete that loop of communication. Unlike leading rivals all communication with team members, regardless of where they are in the world, can take place within the user interface of ArchiCAD 13. It’s a little like taking a high-speed bullet train from Paris to Rome and then transfering onto a bus from Rome to Milan only to get back onto a high-speed bullet train to travel from Milan back to Paris.Ġ0 - Graphisoft's new ArchiCAD 13 with BIM Server provides a huge leap in productivity with teams due to its innovative Delta Server Technology and new color-coded user interface with built-in teamwork messaging and communication. Not that telephones are all that “oh-so 20th century” but rather that the computer software is telling you to leave the realm of the computer–telling you to move to a different device entirely to make a phone call, to communicate–to finish the process you started on the computer. This is about teamwork collaboration, and the big news here is that unlike its existing self (version 12 for instance) or its largest rivals, ArchiCAD 13’s new teamwork functionality doesn’t ask you to do something as archaic as pick up the telephone in the middle of your all-electronic, computerized process, in order to collaborate affectively…the way things should work. The Big Revolution: Staying on the Bullet Train This company, Graphisoft, has been punching above its weight-class in the architectural CAD world since its founding in 1982 and is widely recognized as the leader in the 3D virtual building concept now commonly understood as BIM (building information modeling).

Additionally, such innovation should not be a surprise coming from a longtime Mac programming stalwart either. Of course such a breakthrough approach is not to be unexpected coming from the Hungarians at Graphisoft.
