Archicad + BIMcloud + BIMx Pro: Better together

Start strong with Archicad Collaborate

Start your project right on BIMcloud SaaS. Then use Archicad’s powerful tools and BIMx Pro to design the building with your team and share it with your customers and clients – anywhere in the world!

Archicad Studio, a complete Building Information Modeling (BIM) solution, is a subscription plan for solo practitioners and small firms looking for tailored solutions for independent work or local teamwork.  It brings all the benefits of a commercial Archicad license to a subscription platform at an affordable price.  Archicad Studio supports Teamwork locally and speaks your language. Archicad Studio along with Archicad Collaborate is the default subscription conversion offer for Archicad perpetual license holders. 

  • Standard commercial Archicad in your local language — Standalone desktop app for macOS and Windows.  
  • Local Teamwork with BIMcloud Basic.
  • Subscription services and benefits — Maximize the value of your subscription with exclusive tools, training, support, and services such as the BIMx Pro and AI Visualizer
  • Cloud subscription licenses, applying the floating software license approach. 

 

  • No cloud-based collaboration solutions like BIMcloud SaaS
  • No access to cloud-based tools except AI Visualizer. 
  • No MEP feature set. Archicad users have the opportunity to try out this feature that is part of Archicad Collaborate. 
  • The International (INT) language version is not included in the package; it is only in local languages.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT, COMPATIBILITY, UPDATES

Archicad subscription users will have access to training materials on Graphisoft Learn and Graphisoft Community, as well as technical support lines.  

As part of our conversion program’s benefits, we are providing compatibility back to Archicad 8.1 by leaving converted licenses as Archicad 25 perpetual licenses in your hands.  This way, you can open/edit projects that are up to 15 years old.

Licensing is about access to software, not access to content created by the software.  Archicad runs on cloud  licenses and can open projects created with Archicad’s physical key-based licenses and vice versa.  The same is true for Archicad’s perpetual vs. subscription licenses.  Thus, companies with a mixed license pool (perpetual and subscription) can open, edit, and work on the same project.

 

Naturally, subscription products provide more frequent updates for license holders because they allow more agile delivery of innovation and bug fixes.  This, however, doesn’t mean “forced” updates—the control (and responsibility) of updating remains with you.  This also supports users who prefer to keep their differently licensed Archicad on the same build to ensure compatibility. 

BIMCLOUD OPTIONS

 

BIMcloud Basic can be used by any Archicad user who needs basic collaboration and communication between team members.  This solution is included with Archicad and allows the user to install it on a dedicated in-house server. In contrast, BIMcloud Software as a Service is an excellent solution for any size firm that wants to collaborate via the cloud and eliminate the expense of in-house hardware and IT while enjoying the benefits of high-speed servers and backed-up data.  Not to mention additional features like mark-ups in BIMx. Find more details in the comparison list.

You can buy standalone BIMcloud SaaS licenses/subscriptions separately or purchase Archicad Collaborate.
