Graphisoft’s plan to be #1

Graphisoft is the Hungarian software company that began in 1984 when Gábor Bojár thought of designing buildings virtually in 3D. As a result, ArchiCAD became the earliest version of BIM (building information modeling) software. In fact, it was so 3D oriented that generating 2D plans was an afterthought. This year, Graphisoft will release ArchiCAD 23.  Graphisoft is still headquartered in Budapest, but now is part of the 16 “brands” acquired by the Nemetschek Group holding company of Germany. Graphisoft's other programs include BIM Server (for collaboration), MEP Modeler (ductwork and piping), EcoDesigner (energy efficiency), and BIMx for viewing models on
