Native NURBS Support for Meshes, Shells, Walls, Slabs, and Roofs

Pedro Melo

Archicad needs real NURBS-based modeling — not just faceted approximations.
Bring true curves and smooth surfaces to Meshes, Shells, Curved Walls, Slabs, Roofs, and beyond.


Why?

  • True Curves: No more fake polygonal curves — get mathematically clean surfaces.

  • Better Performance: Smooth, editable surfaces without needing thousands of facets.

  • More Design Freedom: Create organic, fluid forms natively inside Archicad (no Rhino detours).

  • Future-Proof BIM: Support the next wave of architectural forms and workflows.


Notes:
Of course, this would be a big change, but even starting with a few tools (Meshes, Shells) would be a huge step forward.
Let's bring true surface control to BIM — it's time.

Totally agree, just „

i feel like this point is like joining a party at least 20 years too late, but hey, better late than never i guess 😉
