Virtual Construction
Vico's Virtual Construction Software Suite is a highly integrated 5D solution designed specifically to bring the benefits of BIM to construction companies. The software synchronizes the 3D virtual construction model, estimating and scheduling data and helps construction firms determine how best to construct buildings. The Virtual Construction suite covers project constructability, estimating, cost management, schedule planning, procurement, and change management processes.
Cinema 4D 10
Maxon's high-end free-form modeler application with full animation and rendering capabilities. CINEMA 4D's intuitive interface and logical workflow make it possible to dive in and be productive quickly.
Structural
Now with the bi-directional I/O capabilities via IFC or native file format, the architect and the structural engineer can use the same Virtual Building model. A structure designed in this same model can be used for stress analysis as well reflecting automatically the changes effectuated by either parties.
Google SketchUp
This add-on to ArchiCAD allows architects and principals to focus on creativity at the earliest concept phase of any new project, knowing that their designs can be automatically imported into the Virtual Building environment.
MaxonForm
Starting with ArchiCAD 12, Graphisoft will cease the development and distribution of MaxonForm. Technical support for existing MaxonForm licenses will continue to be available for a period of one (ending on March 27, 2009). The ArchiCAD 11 version of MaxonForm will be available until August 1, 2008. To ensure that creating free-form shapes continues to be possible for our users, we are releasing a free CINEMA 4D add-on that allows seamless data exchange between ArchiCAD 11 and C4D R10 10.5.
