SYDNEY, 11th March, 2016 – GRAPHISOFT Australia today announced the release of ARCHICAD STAR(T) Edition 2016 BIM software for architects and building designers.
ARCHICAD STAR(T) Edition 2016 is a full-fledged BIM solution with critical features most smaller practices need. Architects can take advantage of a full BIM toolset and create any type of Building Information Model and publish professional design documentation.
ARCHICAD STAR(T) Edition 2016 offers small firms big software at a low price point. STAR(T) was already a huge value but with the addition of the 3D Surface Painter, Building Materials and Interior Elevations as well as enhanced workflow productivity features such as predictive background processing and multi-threading, Optimized OpenGL Engine for smoother and faster navigation, STAR(T) Edition 2016 is pretty much in a class of its own at this price point.
The feature set in STAR(T) 2016 includes all the necessary tools to create a BIM that is data-rich and able to produce all floor plans, sections/elevations, 3D views and details for a project…and now serious workflow, productivity, performance and documentation enhancements are also included within STAR(T) 2016.
Serving as a base for the latest ARCHICAD STAR(T) Edition 2016, ARCHICAD 19’s robust, well-tested engine satisfies the needs of a smaller practice. Therefore, ARCHICAD STAR(T) Edition has most of the feature set, content and benefits of ARCHICAD 19, including:
- Robust 64-bit and multi-processing technology with background processing offering lightning-fast response times – an industry first in BIM!
- All the tools necessary to create the Building Information Model from which the architectural documentation (floor plans, sections/elevations, 3D views, details) as well as the bill of materials can be derived;
- Full access to ARCHICAD’s 3D modeling capabilities including the Shell tool, the MORPH™ tool, Building Materials, the priority-based Junctions and GDL objects (up to version 19);
- Latest IFC, DWG and DXF file exchange capabilities to enable full, model-based and hybrid coordination workflow with consultants.
