Graphisoft Archicad 28.03
ArchiCAD is a powerful modeling application that allows architects to design buildings more efficiently using Virtual Building technology. ArchiCAD allows architects to focus on design, working independently or in a team, while exchanging data with consultants and specialists in other fields.

Key features of Graphisoft ArchiCAD:
- Integrated design options. A new specialized solution in Archicad allows you to centrally and efficiently manage a variety of design options. Manage constantly changing designs by quickly switching between alternative options. Make the best and most informed decisions in the shortest possible time by effectively evaluating and coordinating various options for projects of any type and scale.
- Improved prop management. In recent years, Graphisoft has been constantly focusing on improving the management of complex BIM projects. Archicad 28 continues this development, and now folders and search functions are also supported for additional props such as Hatches and Lines. In dialogs that use criteria (for example, in Interactive Catalogs or in the Find and Select dialog), attributes are also organized into folders, which simplifies the configuration of criteria.
- Improvements to tools and workflows. Distance snap. Advanced search capabilities. User groups for Graphic Replacement Rules. Improved formatting options for Interactive Catalogs. Modernized GDL Editor.
- Transfer of Element Parameters. It is now possible to disable the transfer of the “Offset from Own Floor” parameter for Slabs and Roofs. Previously, this feature was available for walls, columns, beams, and objects. (Previously, applying Favorites or transferring parameters for slabs and roofs could cause their elevations to shift due to the transfer of the Offset from Own Floor parameter).
- Joint editing of lines and polylines. This feature now works reliably and consistently.
- Axis tool. The ID and Properties panels are now available in the Information Panel, as they are for other tools.
- Criteria and Fields pop-up windows. These fields have been reorganized, and the elements they contain have been grouped together in the same way throughout the interface.
- Tracking Panel. You can now use division and multiplication operations in the Tracking Panel (in addition to the existing addition and subtraction functions). For example: if the distance value is 2000, enter 2/ and press Enter to get the value 1000. You can also enter 2* to get the value 4000. The input field has been enlarged to make it easier to see the entire value. Archicad Updates. Centralized distribution of Archicad updates for all users in the organization.
- Callouts. Improved performance when selecting and updating Callouts, as well as when working with custom Properties in Callouts.
- Quick Settings Panel. Behavior when resizing has been updated. In addition, a list of Design Options has been added to the panel. When resizing the Archicad window, the Quick Settings panels no longer disappear (as they did in previous versions) if the window area becomes too narrow. The panels now compress more to always be displayed on the screen. If the working window width is too small, pop-up hints appear.
- Dimension Text. The “Multi-line” field is now called “Special Value” as requested by users.
- Duplicating Profiles. Now, when this operation is activated, the Profile Editor opens, as when creating a new profile. In previous versions, the Profile Editor did not open automatically, so an additional mouse click was required.
- Physically correct visualization (rendering) in Archicad 3D views (experimental feature). Physically correct visualization in the Archicad 3D window provides a much brighter and more realistic display of the 3D model. This experimental feature allows you to navigate through realistic 3D views. It simulates soft shadows that naturally occur in indirect or diffused lighting of a scene.
