Please! You are wasting your breath. ArchiCAD Residential is not a new program. It is nothing more that a silly name given to a group of add-ons that are no more Residential specific than Spell Checker!
Key Notes- $199.00
3D Profiler-$99.00
Acessory Tool-$149.00
Framing Manager- $499.00
Options Manager- $599.00
None of these options are Residential specific!
There is no such thing as Residential specific!
Mac CAD: Graphisoft announces new 'ArchiCAD Residential'
Macintosh CAD Developer and Worldwide BIM Leader Introduces Residential-Focused Building Information Modeling CAD Program - Snubs Mac Users at Initial Release
More a sign that the US contractor and developer market is primarily Windows-centric than a direct snub at its Macintosh user base, Graphisoft announced that its latest BIM application will be initially available for Windows only.
ArchiCAD Residential
ArchiCAD Residential allows those designers of primarily single-family homes to focus on flexibility in serving their customers and clients. "Home builders and designers in the U.S. have tended to create standard house plans that must then be revised to meet the individual needs of their customers. Up until now, every new configuration and change had to be created and presented separately," said Donald Henrich, vice president and general manager, Graphisoft US Our new offering is designed to address this issue and as a result, help our customers to grow their businesses through higher rates of customer satisfaction and efficiency of the design process."
With ArchiCAD Residential residential home designers, contractors, developers and architects, can create and manage overlapping options and variations with simplified tools for just these needs. The new software features the following unique key tools:
Options Manager - Makes it possible to create and manage overlapping options and for these variations to be shown with one mouse click. The software coordinates design changes automatically and simplifies the communication of design options to the client.
Wall Framing - Simplifies timber wall framing by automatically creating frames for all required walls and then scheduling each for construction.
Key Notes - Delivers an easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain database of notes, allowing efficient annotation of the drawing.
3D Profiler - Enables shapes to be developed through a range of points and saved for future use with full editing control.

So, if I want to buy "ArchiCAD Residential"todayit is $5,495.00 ? ![]()
How much would it cost me to "up-grade" to "ArchiCAD Residential" from ArchiCAD 9 ? $1,545.00 ?
Or are these tools being offered seperatly, before the new "ArchiCAD Residential" is released? No! Can I buy the ArchiCAD Residential Student Version? No!![]()
That's right! There is no "ArchiCAD Residential" program.![]()

As an ArchiCAD user since it was first Introduced in the U.S., and a mac user, I am very concerned with Graphisoft’s current disregard for it’s mac users base.

Professionally, the costs associated with a switch to PC ArchiCAD (required for us to obtain the built-in functions that ArchiCAD Residential advertises) and the inherent difficulties of being ArchiCAD users in an AutoCAD world, would probably push us over to Revit, rather than ArchiCAD, on a PC. I have no desire to use ArchiCAD on any platform other than a mac. I chose ArchiCAD because of my preference for macs, not the other way around. Of course I would remain an avid mac fan and user privately … just not professionally!

Macs or PCs are not what you do your work with; it is ArchiCAD. The real cost is not switching to PCs, it is switching your basic tool - and that is ArchiCAD, not the Mac. It is the cost of training, reworking all the working procedures, redefining templates, whatever. Much more costly than replacing one boxful of glorified sand with another.Ever tried switching an office frm one OS to another? All of these apply there as well!
