“ArchiCAD version 12 is an excellent release for existing customers, of that there is absolutely no doubt. The system performance benefit alone justifies the upgrade.”

“With ArchiCAD 12, performance has seen speed boosts of over 600%. This for me makes the release a no-brainer.”

“Many of the new features of ArchiCAD 12 are about ease of use, flexibility and enhanced communication. However the new curtain wall tool really is probably the most intelligent solution to a very complex problem.[…] Its applications go way beyond producing standard curtain walling.”

“Graphisoft’s new 3D document really brings models to life, offering sketch-like views of projects with perspective dimensions and text. This is great for presentations.”

“Rending Fills have been greatly improved and therefore so has the presentation quality of ArchiCAD’s output.”
