- Archicad 28 is the latest evolution of GRAPHISOFT’s industry-leading BIM platform, designed to empower architects, engineers, and design studios with a faster, smarter, and more collaborative workflow. Built on decades of innovation, this new release delivers a refined design environment, deeper interoperability, and powerful automation tools that elevate every stage of the architectural process—from concept to documentation.
- One of the most transformative updates in Archicad 28 is the introduction of the Global Library. Replacing the old monolithic, language-dependent libraries, the new .libpack architecture offers a flexible, modular, and version-independent system that drastically simplifies library management. Users can now maintain consistent content across multiple projects and teams, reduce compatibility issues, and receive library updates more efficiently. This modern system ensures cleaner project environments and smoother migration from earlier versions.
- Archicad 28 also brings major improvements to the MEP Designer, making it a more robust, professional-grade solution for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing modeling. With enhanced dimension controls, intelligent segment adjustments, and a more intuitive system editor, MEP elements can be modeled, coordinated, and documented with greater accuracy. These updates make multidisciplinary collaboration smoother and more reliable, especially when combined with BIMcloud’s real-time teamwork capabilities.
- For conceptual design and visualization, Archicad 28 expands creative possibilities through enhanced parametric workflows and a cloud-driven AI Visualizer. The improved Grasshopper–Archicad connection gives designers more control over generative logic, enabling fluid experimentation and rapid iteration. Meanwhile, the AI Visualizer provides quick visual concept ideas—ideal for early-stage client presentations or exploring mood and form before committing to detailed modeling.
- Performance and interoperability remain at the core of this release. Archicad 28 offers optimized handling of point cloud data, making renovation and scan-to-BIM projects more efficient. Updated IFC and IDS standards ensure seamless data exchange with consultants and other BIM platforms, minimizing friction in cross-disciplinary workflows. Documentation also benefits from improved automation, allowing you to produce detailed drawings, schedules, and sheets with fewer manual steps.
