16 The best reward for a passionate architect is to see design ideas take on physical form. With GRAPHISOFT ArchiCAD‘s® Building Information Modeling approach, architects can explore design ideas with full confidence, knowing that every detail is being captured and all documents are synchronized. ArchiCAD 16 introduces a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions to ease the creation, sharing, and finding of custom BIM Components. Built-in Energy Evaluation turns ArchiCAD into the “greenest” BIM solution available on the market today. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Open BIM have created unprecedented potential for design collaboration between architects and engineers. With intelligent, modelbased workflows between the various trades, coordination errors can be reduced to virtually zero before the construction phase begins.
