The Archicad-Solibri Connection: Streamlining Design and Collaboration

In a move to enhance collaboration and streamline design workflows, Graphisoft has released the Archicad-Solibri Connection add-on for Archicad 24, now localized to all language versions. This innovative tool simplifies the process of designing, checking, and amending projects by eliminating the need to save and upload files between programs.

The Archicad-Solibri Connection allows for fast BIM updates and real-time collaboration with Solibri while working in a design scenario. The add-on automatically detects and sends only changed elements of the Archicad model, resulting in faster round-trip collaboration. With issue reporting based on IFC, designers can assign or resolve detected issues later.

The Archicad-Solibri Connection provides fast and automated code- and constructability checking, making it a commercial-quality solution that upgrades the technology preview version released for Archicad 23. Users can now sort and track issues with full compatibility with Archicad 24's new Issue Manager, saving time and ensuring instant quality control of their projects without exporting and importing models.

The add-on also offers a smooth connection to third-party applications, ensuring an uninterrupted and efficient workflow. Additionally, Graphisoft has introduced a new survey feature to help improve Archicad performance.

Archicad 24: Improvements and Enhancements

In addition to the Archicad-Solibri Connection, Archicad 24 boasts several improvements and enhancements. These include:

* A more intuitive MEP routing workflow with predefined bend radius and improved routing dialog

* Interoperability with Structural Analysis Format, allowing for a full integrated design workflow via IFC Structural Analytical View: Model Compare works with IFC Structural Analytical Models

* Improved analytical model exchange with better material mapping, automatic mapping of manufactured cross-section profiles at import, and ready-to-use translators available for download

* More accurate change management with Model Compare recognizing modified openings

* Issue Management and Model Comparison Improvements with better issue management and sorting using custom-defined type tags that work with BCF

Overall, Archicad 24's improvements aim to enhance collaboration, streamline design workflows, and improve overall project efficiency.
