Pros
- ArchiCAD offers multilevel design tools, allowing expert designers to make complex models and documentation to meet any graphical and representation standards.
- It has an opening tool that interprets all kinds of voids, recesses, and niches into graphical openings across the virtual model.
- The software promotes collaboration among project members with constant checking of code and constructability during the project.
- Users can capture and manage client requests for developing design alternatives using the integrated dRofus database and Grasshopper Deconstruct Component.
- ArchiCAD comes with MyARCHICAD package offering architecture designing tools for learning and teaching building information modeling through the “implementation” approach by Graphisoft.
Cons
- There's a free educational version, but professionals must subscribe to access advanced functionalities.
- ArchiCAD demands more learning time than AutoCAD due to extensive, complex settings.
- ArchiCAD may have limited coordination capabilities compared to Autodesk Revit, particularly in multi-stakeholder projects.
- Its virtual construction approach using real elements may be overly complex or limiting, depending on user needs.
- ArchiCAD primarily focuses on virtual electronic buildings, possibly insufficient for traditional 2D drafting needs commonly met by AutoCAD.
