Those Apps don’t seem to have all the features of the App for ArchiCAD however. The BIMobject App for ArchiCAD is the third such App for a major CAD/BIM project following Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit before that.

We are also proud that we now have the most extensive set of features of any BIMobject App. “We are very excited about the new BIMobjects App for ArchiCAD.

And the App will be available for Mac OS X in the second half of July. The App is also compatible with ArchiCAD 15 and 16 versions.

The App for ArchiCAD is only available currently for Windows versions of ArchiCAD but is immediately available for download, or from within ArchiCAD 17. ArchiCAD users now have the ability to send and receive BIMails directly from inside their BIM software, making ArchiCAD ‘social.’ Manufacturers can use BIMail to inform users about product news and updates through BIMail inside the ArchiCAD system.

The App also consists of a BIMail integration. This is a feature not seen in any other solution and gives a completely new way for manufacturers to update product data and add new properties to already downloaded objects. If there is a newer version of the actual product in the cloud, the product information can automatically be transferred to the already downloaded files. The App will check to ensure the actual version of the placed object in your project is the same version as the cloud. 01 – BIMobject of Sweden announces new App for ArchiCAD offering the most advanced features of its BIMobject Apps.Īnother useful feature is the ability to check for updates.
