Passion With Confidence

Enabling full control on the balance between 3D and 2D work, ArchiCAD 11 lets you make the most of your team's expertise, tightly control your designs and be confident that the project documentation is created with unprecedented level of control, faster than ever, and in unparalleled quality.

Virtual Trace^TM
Providing tighter control, better coordination and better integration of design teams, this Industry first innovative technology enables simultaneous development of the 3D model and 2D documents with full coordination and continuous visual feedback.

Visual Compare
The ultimate solution for architects to efficiently control coordination of models, views and documents. With Visual Compare you have the confidence that all project documents are synchronized and any differences will be easily tracked.

Interior Elevations
Boost productivity and ensure complete coordination with the new dedicated Interior Elevations tool. As live views of the model, Interior Elevations are continuously synchronized and up-to-date.

Worksheet tool
Dramatically improve the design to production workflow. Using the Worksheet Tool you can smoothly transform your model views into highly detailed documents, create 2D documents from scratch or easily merge consultant data within the Virtual Building environment.

"ArchiCAD 11 addresses our firm’s concern for how junior staff can quickly and independently, be trained to comprehend a virtual building model. With the aid of virtual trace they will develop an understanding of the 3-D modeling components in relation to a traditional 2-D set of design or construction drawings – a great benefit to our productivity." Daniel Grandy, Anshen + Allen
