GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD 22 – BIM inside and out!

BUDAPEST, May 2, 2018 – GRAPHISOFT®, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software developer for architects and designers, has announced the release of ARCHICAD 22, the latest version of its award-winning BIM software solution. ARCHICAD 22 improves the architectural design and documentation workflow for building façades. In addition, ARCHICAD 22 introduces significant improvements to its construction modeling, information management and 2D performance.

"Design is what architects love most about their work. ARCHICAD 22’s revamped Curtain Wall tool makes designing building façades a true graphical experience for architects with its modular pattern editor," said Peter Temesvari, Director of Product Management at GRAPHISOFT. "The most powerful thing about our new Façade Design workflow is that it covers the entire design workflow from concept through design development to documentation supporting local standards – all 100% BIM."

What’s new in ARCHICAD 22

ARCHICAD's remastered Façade Design workflow provides a flexible design environment for architects to create external or internal façades using modular structures and hierarchical, easily customizable patterns. Both traditional and algorithmic workflows are supported, thanks to the improved ARCHICAD-Grasshopper Connection.

The enhanced Profile Editor makes it easy to create intelligent profiles for columns, beams and walls and control the shapes and sizes of their cross sections via BIM parameters. The brand-new Expression Defined Properties vastly improve ARCHICAD’s capabilities to manage the “I” in BIM. GRAPHISOFT’s patent pending Machine Learning (ML) algorithm adjusts 2D navigation to each project’s content and results in a very smooth and responsive navigation.

ARCHICAD 22 also includes Maxon's latest (R19) CineRender engine, providing stereoscopic or 360° spherical renderings; a better Teamwork experience due to faster element reservation; and improved quality and precision when exporting building component information from composite skins and complex profiles - using OPEN BIM standards.

In addition to the features highlighted above, ARCHICAD 22 delivers
many other performance and functional enhancements. For more information about ARCHICAD 22, and to sign up for the online streaming of ARCHICAD 22’s world premiere, please visit www.graphisoft.com/archicad.

Adobe Illustrator Cc 2018. 22.0.0.244 x64

Description:
The Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 software is controlled by the new Adobe Mercury Performance System, which allows you to process large, complex files with high speed and reliability. A modern, updated interface optimizes everyday tasks. Advanced tools for creativity allow more effective implementation of ideas.

Among the best features are:
Improved vector tools. Use accurate and effective project creation tools. Create expressive vector graphics for virtually any media source. Freely experiment and embody your creative ideas with complex shapes, colors, complex effects and expressive typography, using precise shape creation tools, natural custom brushes and advanced contour controls.
Integration with other Adobe solutions. Easily convert projects for printing into projects for the Internet and mobile devices through the close integration of industry-leading Adobe solutions such as Photoshop, InDesign®, After Effects®, Acrobat® and others.
Adobe Mercury Performance System. Accurate, fast and incredibly reliable tools allow you to work with large complex files thanks to the built-in support for 64-bit Mac OS and Windows® OS, optimizing the memory and performance of the entire system.
Use multiple artboards. Organize and view up to 100 editing areas of different sizes, cascaded or in the form of a grid. Easily add, delete and rename areas, and change the order of their location. Save, export and print the artboards individually or together.
Gradients and transparency. Work with gradients directly on the object, set the sizes of elliptical gradients, adjust the colors and adjust the opacity parameters. You can even create gradients for strokes and grids.
Clarity of contours in projects for web applications and mobile devices. Creation of vector objects, located exactly on the pixel grid, for the preparation of raster illustrations with clearly defined edges of the contours. Use the anti-aliasing settings for individual frames.
Trace the image. Easily and quickly convert raster images into editable vectors thanks to an efficient trace mechanism. High accuracy of lines, accuracy of adjustment and reception of reliable results - by means of simple, intuitively clear controls.
Drawing in perspective. Using perspective meshes to create accurate figures and scenes in a 1-, 2-, or 3-point linear perspective.
Creation of patterns. Easily create shared vector patterns. Freely experiment with different types of repeating patterns, which you can edit at any time to create the most flexible layouts.
Editing the design from the palette. Edit the characteristics of the object directly on the "Appearance" panel. This allows you to get rid of the need to open palettes associated with fills, strokes and effects.
Formats of graphic files of the industrial standard. Work with almost all formats of image files, including PDF, EPS, FXG, Photoshop (PSD), TIFF, GIF, JPEG, SWF, SVG, DWG, DXF, etc.
Tools for creating Adobe PDF files. Create secure multi-page PDF files with expressive graphics and with the preservation of Illustrator layers. Transfer files with any service providers through the support of PDF / X standards.

New features of Adobe Illustrator CC 2018:

• Properties panel
Centralized access to all controls speeds up work. The new Smart Properties panel contains only the necessary tools that appear at the right time.
• Puppet deformity
Convert vector graphics while preserving the natural look. The "Puppet Deformation" function allows you to quickly create and modify graphic objects without having to individually configure each contour or reference point.
• More artboards
Now in Illustrator you can create up to 1000 artboards on one canvas and work with a lot of content in each document.
• Style Sets
Apply predefined additional glyphs to whole blocks of text. You no longer have to select and modify each glyph separately.
• More convenient structure of the mounting areas
Select several artboards at the same time, automatically align and organize them on the canvas with one click. Objects that are attached to the artboard are now moved along with it.
• SVG Color Fonts
Use in projects fonts that contain multiple colors, gradients, and degrees of transparency. All this is possible thanks to SVG OpenType fonts.
• Variable fonts
Illustrator supports variable OpenType fonts. You can change the thickness, width and other parameters, creating your own style and not breaking the original design.
• Text management in Creative Cloud Libraries
libraries Illustrator libraries now support text, so you can store frequently used fragments, such as slogans, marketing descriptions, and other text templates. It is also possible to exchange texts between InDesign and Illustrator libraries.
• Support Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro
Get instant access to the main tools, when necessary, using the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro.
• And much more ... In
addition: accelerated start and higher stability.
