Add-on for ArchiCAD 10 is available for free download.

Budapest, April 12 - ArchiCAD passed the second step of the IFC 2x3 certification at the IAI's (Industry Alliance for Interoperability) latest certification workshop held mid-March in Waltham, US. The IFC 2x3 add-on for ArchiCAD 10 is available as free download from Graphisoft's official website.

"We are proud of our leadership role in driving the IFC standard which more and more building owners are mandating as the way that project information must be exchanged, said Viktor Varkonyi, VP of ArchiCAD Development".

IFC 2x3 supports better communication between various design disciplines including architectural and structural. IFC 2x3 also introduces 2D information as a brand new layer in 3D IFC models. Drawing primitives such as lines, poly-lines, circles, texts, and fills can now be an integrated part of the IFC files.

More information about IFC and 2x3 in particular can be found at IAI's official website.
