Archicad 29 introduces "ArchiGPT" – an on-device LLM integrated into the Info Box and Scheme Settings.
Let’s talk about numbers. Graphisoft rebuilt the Multi-Core processing engine for Archicad 29.
Forget manually typing "A-102" or "S-301." Archicad 29 now includes an Intelligent Drawing Label system that reads the Project Tree structure. If you move a drawing from "Plans" to "Details," the label updates automatically. The "Goodie" is the Cross-Reference Sanity Checker—a dialog box that highlights broken references before you plot the set.
Managing complex visual styles became much smarter.
ArchiCAD 29 continues Graphisoft’s tradition of blending powerful modeling tools with streamlined workflows, delivering a release focused on productivity, collaboration, and refined design control. This essay examines the standout features and improvements in ArchiCAD 29, considers their implications for architectural practice, and highlights how these “goodies” help architects and teams deliver better projects faster.
A tiny goodie: You can now specify a "top rail overhang" value. Previously, railings ended exactly at the last tread. Now, you can extend the top rail 6 inches or 300mm past the top riser for code compliance.
