BIMcloud Basic – Future on macOS

[florianvoi]

I just read on IDC’s website (a Swiss Mac distributor) that BIMcloud Basic, the non-subscription version, will no longer be developed for macOS in the future.

At the moment, it still runs via Rosetta / Intel code, which means that at some point it will no longer be able to run on future versions of macOS. Apparently, there are currently no plans to port it to Apple Silicon.

So what does this mean for the future of Archicad on the Mac? Especially now that Apple is finally offering genuine professional computers again.

Please note: BIMcloud 2027 will be the last version to support macOS. Starting with BIMcloud 2028, there will no longer be a Mac version of BIMcloud.

Hi,

If true this is extremely disappointing. We were looking forward to finally having BIMcloud on premises. We work with high security projects where BIMcloud collaborate or Windows is not an option unless we employ an IT technician full-time. This just shows how Graphisoft has lost touch with its users needs. Very disappointed if this is correct.

Hi, This is a realy bad dission if this will happen, there are lots of users that dont want to use Windows as a server platform.

Graphisoft needs to adress this and give us users information.

If this means there will not be a "BIMcloud on premises" for Mac either then, this would brick very many Mac mini's and Ultra´s. That would piss-off a very large user base. I think Graphisoft should come with some clarification here.
