ArchiCAD 21 Build.5010 Update
BIM software developer GRAPHISOFT has released an update to ARCHICAD 21, the new release of its industry-leading BIM software solution. The latest version of ARCHICAD introduces the highly-anticipated Stair Tool, featuring GRAPHISOFT's patent-pending Predictive Design technology.
ARCHICAD 21 Update 5010:
This Update contains various enhancements and fixes since the original release of ARCHICAD 21.
- New Features
PDF Reviewer Tool connection (e.g. Adobe Acrobat, Bluebeam etc.) With this solution, we provide a complete, bi-directional workflow between ARCHICAD and any standard PDF reviewer tool, such as Adobe Acrobat or Bluebeam. The solution improves communication and collaboration among architects, engineers and other project stakeholders during PDF-based project management. Bi-directional means that all the markups created in the PDF editor can be imported back to ARCHICAD, where they are transformed into Markup entries which appear in the correct location, helping the user to understand and solve the issue.
- Link Rhino (.3dm)
We have further improved collaboration between ARCHICAD and Rhinoceros - a popular free-form modelling tool - by adding new import options. The user can link Rhino source files (.3dm) into ARCHICAD, and update, relink etc. in the usual way, similarly to the Link IFC feature introduced in ARCHICAD 21. Also, Rhino files can be imported into ARCHICAD as an Object, so the new command directly imports Rhino models into ARCHICAD's Embedded Library as a GDL Object. This command replaces the "Rhino-GDL Converter" add-on, released for ARCHICAD 18, 19 and 20.
- Bluebeam Reviewer Tool connection (add-on product, part of US only)
This is an additional palette for the general PDF Reviewer Tool connection which contains the most important commands for bi-directional workflow between ARCHICAD and Bluebeam only.

About GraphiSoft ArchiCAD 21. The star upgrade in the ARCHICAD 21 release is undoubtedly the package's new stair and railing tools. As any drafter or architect knows, designing stairs is fraught with challenges. Not only do strict building standards complicate stair design, but iterations of a building's structure mean there's a tremendous amount of tedious reworking of the stair design each time a project is modified. In ARCHICAD 21, this has all changed. According to GRAPHISOFT, drafters will now have access to automated stair design tools that work in the background to create an optimal stair configuration that's building specific. All users need to do now is create a polyline to guide the direction of the stairs and wait for the ARCHICAD stair algorithm to offer up stair design options. Once a stair design has been chosen, an associated railing can be added with a simple single-click operation that completes the climbing feature.
Beyond the time-saving stair tool, ARCHICAD 21 also features an upgraded CineRender engine, which can be used to create photorealistic images of building interiors and exteriors.
