Why Archicad?

- [Instructor] So you might be asking yourself why ArchiCAD? Why not something else, or some other application that's out there that might be seemingly more popular? And there are a lot of reasons for ArchiCAD. First and foremost is that it is a very powerful software able to handle complex models efficiently and effectively, the workflow is designed for designers with the idea of creating vast sets of information that need to be shared with multiple different groups efficiently and effectively, and out of all the years that I've been practicing architecture within the AEC profession, I haven't found an application that can go toe to toe with ArchiCAD on all of its features and its capabilities. Yes, there are a lot of different BIM or VDC applications out there, but there are none that are older and more distinct than ArchiCAD on a lot of different levels. I have worked on projects that are millions of square feet within one file with lots of different files linked into a file, lots of different information that I'm producing, and ArchiCAD is able to work with that efficiently without being very buggy or providing a lot of headache. And one of the other features that I've really been passionate about within ArchiCAD is the ability to work with other people within one model at the same time which is the teamwork capability. And so there are a lot of really great features that ArchiCAD provides and I hope that this course will kind of illuminate some of those and persuade you to look deeper into the software and consider using it within your practice on a daily basis.
