Collaborate is about connected project delivery. Max is about advanced design intelligence, with broader access to Graphisoft and the Nemetschek Group’s technologies. In addition to all offerings of the Collaborate plan, Archicad Max also includes:

• All language versions (instead of just your local version plus International English)
• Archicad Max plan adds 250 credits/month to the organization credit pool (Archicad Collaborate adds 50 credits/month to the organization pool)
• The complete Archicad ProKit toolset
• Full access to all Graphisoft Learn content (instead of 40+ hours)
• Full access to Nemetschek Creator once the commercial product is released in 2027
• Exclusive early access to new technologies as they become ready for real projects

When your practice works on large, complex, or international projects and wants to operate as one connected firm. Typical triggers: you need several language versions; you want agentic AI to handle everything from everyday tasks to complex, end-to-end workflows across all teams; or you plan to fully implement Nemetschek Creator.

All of them. Max gives you access to every Archicad language version and its libraries. Your teams can work in their own language and deliver to local standards in every market you’re active in, without a separate license for each version.

All of them. Max includes the 4 Archicad ProKit Core add-ons (Annotate, Transformer, Time Tracker, Detail Elements) and the 11 Archicad ProKit Suite add-ons (Cabinets, Coverings, Doors + Windows, Electrical, Fitout, Keynotes, MetaData, Quantities, Site, Stairs, Structure). These handy tools take the repetitive work out of modeling and documentation across your practice.

• Agentic AI Assistant (Beta): project-aware AI that works directly with your model data
• Public Archicad MCP (Beta) Server: connects the desktop AI applications your office already uses to your Archicad model
• AI Visualizer: turns a model view into a high-quality image using top-tier AI image models such as Nano Banana Pro
• AI Assistant Spaces: your personal knowledge base built from your own documents (10 spaces with 10 documents each)

Availability of AI Solutions depends on your Archicad version and plan.

The amount of AI credits available varies by product and subscription plan.

Each eligible subscription license contributes a defined monthly credit allowance based on its product or tier. These allowances are combined into one shared pool per Graphisoft ID Company, including licenses acquired through separate purchases. Every employee who has linked their personal Graphisoft ID to the company’s Graphisoft ID Company can use credits from this shared pool.

To provide maximum flexibility, credits are not restricted to individual AI Solutions. Users can spend the available credits on any Graphisoft AI Solution, whether that’s AI Visualizer, Archicad MCP (Beta), AI Assistant (Beta), or AI Assistant Spaces.

The number of credits included depends on the subscription plan

• Archicad Studio plan: 50 AI credits/license/month added to your company pool
• Archicad Collaborate plan: 50 AI credits/license/month added to your company pool
• Archicad Max plan: 250 AI credits/license/month added to your company pool
• MEP Designer Studio plan: 50 AI credits/license/month added to your company pool

Each eligible subscription license contributes a defined credit allowance, and these allowances form a single shared pool tied to the company’s Graphisoft ID Company. Every employee who has linked their personal Graphisoft ID to the Graphisoft ID Company draws from the same pool, so you don’t need to assign individual quotas before people can start working.

Without that link, the user is not recognized as part of the company and therefore has no access to the shared credit pool. Linking the personal Graphisoft ID to the Graphisoft ID Company is a one-time step and is a prerequisite for using any credit-based AI solution.

Not yet. Currently, all linked users share one credit pool. Admin-controlled credit allocation is on our roadmap and planned for a future release.

Yes. Your company’s AI credits are held in a single shared pool and are not allocated in advance to individual AI solutions. Users can use the available credits with any supported AI solution, as needed.

Usage patterns differ significantly from company to company and from project phase to project phase: A studio in early concept design may rely heavily on AI Visualizer, while a team in documentation may lean on AI Assistant (Beta) and Archicad MCP (Beta). A single shared pool lets each company use its credits where they create the most value at that moment, rather than working around limits set in advance.

Consumption is driven by how much work the AI has to do, not simply by the number of clicks. The main factors are:

• Which solution is used: Image generation in AI Visualizer is computationally heavier than a short text answer, so it typically consumes more credits per action.
• The complexity of the request: Broad, multi-step, or open-ended requests require more processing than narrow, well-defined ones.
• The amount of context involved: Longer conversations, larger documents, and larger BIM models or project context all increase the work performed per request.
• Output size and settings: Longer responses, higher resolution, and a greater number of generated variants each increase consumption.
• The number of iterations: Refining a result several times means several requests, and each one draws from the pool.
• The number of active users: Since the pool is shared, total monthly consumption scales with the number of linked colleagues who are working with the AI solutions.

Formulating requests clearly, avoiding unnecessary regeneration of results that are already good enough, and generating high-resolution or multi-variant output only when it is genuinely needed all help the allowance last through the month.

Before starting to work with the AI solutions, it’s worth reading through the User Guide, which also includes useful examples, for instance, around MCP workflows. These can help users get up to speed with effective prompting techniques. It’s also worth following the AI-related discussions and user best-practice write-ups on the Graphisoft Community platform.

The full allowance is restored at the start of each month, so every cycle begins with the amount defined in the subscription plan.

Unused credits do not carry over to the next month. Each month, the allocated credits are recalculated based on the licenses available under the Graphisoft ID Company.

Credit-based AI features will be unavailable until the next monthly renewal. Users are not left guessing: AI Assistant and AI Visualizer services display a clear message when the available credit allowance has been used up, so it is immediately obvious why a request cannot be completed. (“Your company has reached its credit limit. You can continue using AI solutions as soon as the credits refill.”) Everything in Archicad that does not rely on AI credits continues to work exactly as before.

Graphisoft is working to make credit consumption easier to track and plans to introduce the option to purchase additional credits for companies that use up their monthly allowance. Updates on credit management will be shared on the Graphisoft Community platform.

No, it does not collect or process personal data generated from user interactions. It remains the user’s responsibility not to include sensitive content or personal data in prompts, or in any uploaded documents in AI Assistant Spaces.

Inside Archicad, the AI Assistant (Beta) and AI Visualizer never use project data or prompts to train AI models, and Graphisoft does not use user-generated or project-specific content — project data, project files, documentation, or generated images — for training.

Graphisoft collects software usage data, such as which features are used and how often. This data is never linked to project content. It helps assess feature performance and fix malfunctions while protecting project confidentiality.

When you connect through the Public Archicad MCP (Beta) Server, you choose which desktop AI application to use, and that application’s own license terms and data processing agreements govern the data it receives — the same terms already in place for that tool.

Detailed information on how each AI Solution works is available in the product Help documentation: AI Assistant Help and AI Visualizer Help.

Nemetschek Creator is a cloud-based, AI-powered design intelligence platform. In a browser-based workspace, it helps you explore massing, layout, and performance scenarios quickly, compare options, and understand the consequences of your design decisions early.

You can enjoy early access to Nemetschek Creator, our innovative solution for early-stage design, followed by full access once the commercial product is released later next year.

Early access to Nemetschek Creator is provided to all Members of the Graphisoft ID Company at no additional cost to a product that will continue to evolve toward its mature commercial release in 2027, irrespective of the end date of your active Subscription Term. We reserve the right to amend these terms, or to modify or discontinue the offering, at any time.

Yes. Max includes everything you need for connected delivery: BIMcloud SaaS for cloud-hosted Teamwork without in-house IT, portable BIMcloud licenses for Teamwork across companies, BIMx Pro with Teamwork, and MEP Designer for daily architecture and MEP coordination.

A floating license can be used by anyone in your team or company; it isn’t tied to a specific person. When a user starts Archicad, they check out a floating license. When they finish, they release the license for others to use. Your team uses licenses flexibly, and you don’t have to manage individual license assignments.

Yes. Licensing controls access to the software, not to the content you create with it. Archicad cloud licenses can open projects created with physical key-based licenses and vice versa, and the same goes for perpetual and subscription licenses. Firms with a mixed license pool can open, edit, and work on the same project.

Yes. Subscriptions allow us to deliver innovation and fixes faster. That doesn’t mean forced updates, though. You stay in control of when to update. This also helps teams who keep differently licensed Archicad installations on the same build for compatibility.
