- The Technology Preview of Archicad 27 is available for download at Graphisoft.com and today I quickly try out some of these new features like Design Options, Schedule Graphics enhancements, MEP Modeler enhancements, and more.
0:55 - Design Options
10:59 - Design Guides
12:21 - Schedule Graphics
14:02 - MEP Modeler Enhancements
17:56 - Attribute Manager Enhancements
18:54 - Physical Render in 3D

incredible
That doesn't really look like a physically based render kernel in the 3D window.
It feels more like an Ambient Occlusion (AO)-based shader, which is pretty standard nowadays in a lot of other 3D software out there today (Rhino, Maya, Max and even Revit has a display mode that utlises AO-based shading).
The tell would be the fact that you don't have any real-time updating reflections on reflective surfaces and the soft shading and shadowing only occurs around tight corners or close proximity geometry (that's pretty much what AO-based shading uses to achieve that effect without additional light sources.)
But they do say it's experimental, so I'm hoping they're still working the kinks out and by the time it gets out of "experimental" phase it will be a full-functioning physically-based renderer that even has basic reflections and more accurate transparency/translucency. Otherwise it's a misleading misnomer.
It just feels like they just ported a version of the 3D engine/kernel they now use for the new version of BIMx Pro into the mothership program, and yeah,.....that's not a physically-based renderer either. Although an improvement on the previous engine, it's still just an AO-shader.
Again, software like Rhino are vastly several lightyears ahead of ArchiCAD when it comes to the display options and modes for the 3D window (including home-brew version of their own physically-based realistic renderer AND a real-time sketch rendering mode. Imagine that. Imagine having a sketch-based mode to work on in 3D in realtime with no lag)
In terms of the other features, I still feel like this is a weak upgrade in the sense of thenew features they have. Design Options and interactive dimension guides are nice - but as the only Architecture-focused features, it still makes for weak upgrade, particually given the fact that they are several years and versions late in adopting those features into the program.
I'm giving them something of a pass for ArchiCAD 27 since I know it comes at an "in-between" period before they made this course-correction to try to make a better effort to deliver a better upgrade after several weak version upgrades focused on structural and MEP.
But that only means that version 28 had better be their best version ever.
They're losing a lot of credibility fast ("they" being Graphisoft), and that's soon going to translate to customers and revenue too, if they're not too careful.
Thanks for this information. I'm definitely not the best at knowing the specifics of 3d graphics technologies. I agree it is a "weak" upgrade, but still VERY welcome. My eyes are much happier as a result. True RTX in the 3D window in Archicad would be such a welcome feature.
PLease make your Archicad brighter and clear
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still learning screen capturing software and trying to find the software solution and settings that work the best.
@@ColorBlindArchitect You use Filmora? OBS?
@@NBCNothingButCrap , I had been using RecordIt on the Mac because it is super simple and easy. On PC, I use OBS. I didn't realize OBS had a Mac version, so I'll try that for the next video. Not interested in Filmore because it's a Wondershare product and every Wondershare product I've tried has been trash.
@@ColorBlindArchitect Yeah.. OBS quite simple and powerful. I dont have Mac device, planning to get one but I need to wait till Apple Silicon can fully handle UE5, especially Lumen and Nanite. I still looking for best screen recording method / software out there. I even bought Elgato HD60X device, still doesnt help. Recording from my monitor ( 4K & 2K ) still blurry, not crispy.
Yes this true.. Plese archicad must be bright then u tho.. But thanks for video..
Archicad 27 preview 2 is ask license how get license
They are using a cloud license system, and you can look on you graphisoft account online to see if your AC27 license is available. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to sign up for the technology preview on the landing page for AC27
Screen not clear sir...re-record your video pls
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still working on figuring out the best mix of camera, microphone, and capture software. Lighting is also a problem as I'm still in my utility closet. Once the my new architecture studio is completed with construction, I'll have much better lighting and can get much better quality video out.
Why would you use Archicad when you can use Revit?
Because Revit crashes continously and is very slow
Modelling and schedules are faster and easier to create, faster learning curve, can be used on both major operative systems, and Perpetual License, just to name a few. My only complain is some architectural tools need to be improved and seem to be left aside in favor of tools for engineers, wonder from which book that page was taken from?
For me, many reasons, including: ease of editing models in 3D perspective mode, dual platform Windows/Mac, compatibility including ability to import export RFA and RVT files, ability to drag and drop PDF, DWG, XLS, DOC, and SKP files into a view, ability to create linetypes, hatch patterns, and more within the app with no plugins, a project navigator and publisher that is sheet based so you don't have to make sure a layout is centered in view for the publish to PDF doesn't hang the titleblock off the page, use of layers, linetypes, etc. and many many more. Oh yeah, and perpetual licensing is still a thing.
@@ColorBlindArchitect Lol you guys seriously pay for this? Why not just download a crack ?
@@2dbaddiepostedonmybed I believe in honesty and integrity. If someone does work for me, I pay them. In this case, the software didn't just materialize out of thin air, it is the result of scores of highly dedicated programmers whose salaries are paid through us, the end users, paying legally for said software. So yes, I seriously pay for this. It is a business expense that has provided a HUGE return on investment. I would also recommend avoiding cracks as they often contain viruses, trojan horses, and malware. I can understand if you're not yet able to make money using this software, and in that case, Graphisoft does offer a free student version. But if you are making money using software, it is the right thing to do to pay the people who make it so they can feed their families. Not paying would be the same as a client refusing to pay the architect claiming, "it's just digital files."
