ARCHICAD - An Old Alternative Digital Drawing Tool


I've long heard about ARCHICAD but I never had the desire to try it out. Out of the blue, my boss asks me to attend a seminar about ARCHICAD at the office where originally they were selling Autodesk product. It kind of surprise me that they are not associated with Autodesk any more.

Anyway, I took some pictures for all my readers (hopefully I still have readers):

What ARCHICAD is all about
I am really intrigued that ARCHICAD still uses the dongle for license control. The price of each license is not much different compared to Autodesk AutoCAD but of course, you can't really compare the benefits of both software since both software has their own little league.


Why BIMcloud
Interesting enough, the BIMcloud is actually a software being installed on a host machine or a server where connected users operate their model or drawing files. I can't really say ARCHICAD is superior or not since I am not a heavy user of Autodesk product but the product can be an excellent alternative if you need an alternative tool that works. In today's world, we normally wouldn't want to be too dependent on one particular brand.

ARCHICAD is free to try out so just Google it and start trying it out.
