Graphisoft has launched ArchiCAD 14, the latest version of its architectural design software.

ArchiCAD 14 continues the company’s model-based design collaboration by offering intelligent workflow solutions to the extended design team.

ArchiCAD 14 delivers productivity improvements for architects throughout the full cycle of the BIM workflow, with a specific focus on completing the integration of the architectural workflow with the engineering world.

The updated software turns IFC technology into full-fledged workflow solutions, enabling collaboration with engineers, regardless of their discipline or the name and version of the application they prefer working with.

This 'open' approach to interdisciplinary collaboration broadens designers’ options for real Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), resulting in faster delivered projects and significantly less coordination errors.

"Building information modeling (BIM) has created unprecedented potential for design collaboration between the various trades," says Miklós Szövényi-Lux, vice president of product management, Graphisoft Hungary.

"With ArchiCAD 14, Graphisoft helps designers realize the true potential of model based collaboration by turning simple 'file compatibility' between architectural and engineering software into intelligent “workflow solutions” for industry-first open design collaboration."
