This negates the needs to create separate pens and surfaces with a specific color to highlight elements if you want to synchronize your 2D and 3D representations. With the developed Graphic Overrides feature, you can now choose RGB colors for Fill Background Pen and 3D Surface within the Graphic Overrides. Even when the Fills are 2D elements, they can still be used to test and visualize a variety of design setting options in different 2D views such as floor plans or sections and elevations without actually affecting other elements.

Users can define alignment and distortion exactly like any other type of fill. When colorizing the floor plan/detail, you can easily apply the color, fill or texture of the surface. There are new options for rendering Uncut and Distant elements which are added to the control panel: Surface – Text Fill, Non-Shaded and Surface – Text Fill, Shadedįills are now accessible and visible to surfaces. Now, with AC25, you can render the same textures on sectional, elevation and interior elevation as seen in the 3D window.

In previous versions of Archicad, rendering high-resolution surfaces in 2D views is potentially a disadvantage. Limitations on graphical representation tools require time-consuming solutions and support from external software that may disrupt the BIM workflow. The new “along chord” calculation method and Automatic landings – Control landing geometry are added to increase designing efficiency along with the tools for automatic calculation and changing number of steps at the bends of the ladder.Ī varying and diverse furniture library supplies quick finishing touches to complete the design model. To further aid in the MEP process, the tools for creating gaps (Polyline Opening, Magic Wand) are greatly adjusted, allowing users to manipulate existing fixed shapes into polygons.Īn improvement that cannot be ignored in Archicad 25 is the updates of the Stairs tool. This speeds up the performance rate without affecting the model, and in turn, boost the modeling rate of the project. In addition, you can also search for the object position in the 2D drawing through the 3D model just by clicking on it.

Direct link between 2D drawing and 3D model now enables users to freely search and locate objects on a 3D model through a 2D drawing (plans, elevations, sections) by simply clicking and holding the pointer mouse on desired object. In this version, the ability to navigate between 2D and 3D has certainly been upgraded. We have significantly improved, not only Designing features but also, the features of Analysis, Management as well as Modeling to provide a new experience for our users. On, GRAPHISOFT officially launches ARCHICAD version 25 with various breakthrough improvements to boost your work efficiency in every aspect.
