It integrates with ArchiCAD's Building Materials, updating them as needed and renders in the background while you keep working on your design with no apparent slow down in your system. 'The integration of CineRender is almost perfect.

The additional parameters in Building Materials enhance our current workflows and build on the features of the previous release.' Nathan Hildebrandt, Associate | BIM Manager, Fulton Trotter Architects, Australia The main features for Fulton Trotter Architects are the OPEN BIM enhancements and features with IFC mapping, BCF capabilities and IFC parameter labelling. The Revision Tool is well-designed and enables scalability from small practices to large. The integration of CineRender, MAXON's CINEMA 4D rendering engine, gives us the ability to create photo-realistic renders straight from ArchiCAD. 'GRAPHISOFT have once again delivered a great release with ArchiCAD 18. Every iteration of ArchiCAD pays for itself in time saved, but this release, linked to the fantastic ground-breaking BIMcloud server, is truly awesome and inspiring.' Erika Epstein, Architect 'Everything about this release is amazing. This, coupled with BCF integration, means that ArchiCAD 18 really will improve our ability to deliver collaborative Open BIM as standard on all our projects.' Robert Jackson, Associate Director, Bond Bryan Architects The new IFC Scheme mapping enhancements mean that we can now increase automation, providing more reliable data for both IFC and COBie exchange.

'The need to create automated and user-friendly workflows is key to successful data creation and exchange. It is hard not to be impressed.' Michael Herse, Architect, Wilson Architects 'With ArchiCAD 18, GRAPHISOFT has delivered what every architect needs: a revision tool that does all the boring work for us, and a rendering engine that lets us produce fantastic images straight of the box.
