The latest version introduces Light Mapping and Secondary GI methods for more realistic, yet fast rendering.Īn ARCHICAD model can be described as a central BIM database that stores all project data and makes it accessible to any project stakeholder.

As for the Railing Tool, one-click input creates an instant associative railing along stairs or other building elements, whose posts and panels can be assigned as patterns, or customized individually.ĬineRender by MAXON offers architects integrated, photo-realistic rendering options in the BIM context. Intuitive graphical methods allow users to easily tweak the stair’s shape and to customize structural and finish components.

If a problem can be solved in a variety of ways, the software offers a selection of the best options that fit both the user’s graphical input and the chosen standards. With ARCHICAD 21’s next-gen Stair Tool, architects can jump right into the creative process: placing stairs with simple polyline input and choosing from various design options. In other words, ARCHICAD’s algorithms validate thousands of design options in the background and offer architects the most optimal stair designs to choose from within the context of the specific building. The new Stair Tool in ARCHICAD 21 extends architects’ creativity with automatic validation against human ergonomics - on the fly. The countless iterations required to sync design intent with these standards in a specific building has meant tedious, manual work – up until now. Designing stairs is one of the most complex tasks in architecture, since the stair must comply with stringent standards.
