Archicad is an architectural building information modeling (BIM) computer-aided design (CAD) software for Mac and Windows developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft.

Archicad offers computer aided solutions for common aspects of aesthetics and engineering during the design process of the built environment: buildings, interiors, urban areas, etc.

[citation needed] Archicad released its first file exchange based Teamwork solution in its version 5.1 in 1997, which allowed more architects to work on the same building model simultaneously.

Via direct API links to 4D and 5D software such as Vico Office Suite or Tocoman iLink, the Archicad model can be exported to BIM-based cost estimation and scheduling.

Archicad can import and export DWG, DXF, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) files among others.

As long as no hardware protection is present or the software is not activated with a trial or an educational serial number, Archicad can be launched in demo mode.

Various free and commercial add-on products and extensions add extra functionality to Archicad or provide further data exchange possibilities with other software applications.
