Multidisciplinary Data Exchange

Increasingly, new developments in ArchiCAD emphasize effective collaboration between architects and other professionals such as structural and mechanical engineers. This collaboration requires reliable methods for sharing and storing building model information, design solutions and proposals; it also requires a way to manage all the changes made to the building model by any of the participants, while also minimizing the possibility for human error.

ArchiCAD supports all major model and data exchange formats and some specialized formats, including intelligent 3D modeling, universal 2D drawing, documentation and image formats.
