This opens a significant number of opportunities to drag and drop and explode a variety of PDF documents from Consultants / Product Details straight into your file. Following on the footsteps of being able to explode a DWG file in AC18 you can now explode a Vector Based PDF document. This new feature is a great addition to the capabilities already in ArchiCAD to drag and drop a PDF / DWG into your file. There is a reason for this as it is very capable and will enable use to create some really impressive renders straight from ArchiCAD but as a feature it will not add significantly to productivity as Renders can be outsourced. You will note that I haven’t included the Rendering Tool in my Top 5.


I have included a description on how these features will benefit our current workflows and generate new workflows.

Below is my Top 5 Feature list from ArchiCAD 18. I had the opportunity to share my presentation from Graphisoft’s KCC 2014 Conference in Budapest, with local users and share my thoughts on the New Features in ArchiCAD 18 that I believed would benefit Fulton Trotter Architects the most. The other week I was fortunate enough to be invited to present at Graphisoft Australia’s ArchiCAD 18 Launch Conference in Brisbane.
