Dear Community Members,
We are introducing add-ons that simplify the processes involved with project changes, sustainability analysis, document management and more.
Archicad Project Compare
Migrating your complex project to a new version? Or perhaps you’re having difficulties spotting small changes in your running project?
The new Archicad Project Compare is here to help. It checks and shows you what has changed between two project states by visually highlighting hard-to-notice differences.
Review whether your deliverables are a pixel-perfect match and ensure your project data hasn’t changed. Project Compare helps you continue working on your project with confidence that your outputs are consistent.
Archicad Project Compare is available for projects between any two versions, starting with Archicad 25. Learn more here.
One Click LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
One Click LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) add-on for Archicad enables you to export a building’s material data directly from your Archicad model to OneClick LCA for fast, accurate LCA and environmental impact analysis. It simplifies sustainable design by automating data transfer, saving time, reducing errors, and supporting compliance with LCA certification schemes. Learn more here.
BIMmTool
Integrated seamlessly in Archicad, the BIMmTool add-on supports efficient import, navigation, and modeling with complex point clouds. BIMmTool also supports Teamwork, enabling easy access and collaboration via company servers or cloud storage.
The BIMm Tool’s enhanced Mesh Tool has been enhanced to generate clean terrain models from raw point clouds in a matter of seconds. The new Ground Filter automatically filters out dense vegetation, reflections, and moving objects. The tool isolates the scan area using a Clipping Box, applies height limits in the Job Manager, and defines mesh resolution for precise results. Additionally, orthophoto mapping applies real surface textures (roads, paths, and green areas) directly to the model, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. The result is an accurate and realistic terrain model that is ready for immediate use in design and presentation workflows. You can learn more here.
Artlantis
The distribution of Artlantis has come to an end. However, perpetual license holders may continue to use the software and download previous versions from our website whenever needed.
If you are seeking robust visualization or rendering software to replace Artlantis in your Archicad workflow, we have got you covered with native and external solutions such as AI Visualizer, MAXON's Cinerender/Redshift, Twinmotion, D5 Render, Cinema 4D, Enscape and others.

Bluebeam Connection
We are pleased to announce that the robust Bluebeam Connection, previously offered as a standalone add-on, is now seamlessly integrated into Archicad 29.
Streamline your workflow with no separate installation required. Enhance your capabilities and connectivity to Bluebeam’s cloud-based Studio solution, seamlessly enabling workflows for both Windows and even Mac-based users. Simply set up your Bluebeam Studio sessions, add drawings and documents, and share them for reviewing almost instantly. Bluebeam provides the browser-based solution for quick annotation and reviewing, where you can invite anyone to participate in the process with a simple BluebeamID.
