Graphisoft Virtual Building Explorer for ArchiCAD

Using Graphisoft Virtual Building Explorer and ArchiCAD architects and designers can explore their project designs with greater clarity than ever before.

Real-time 3D navigation in an architectural design – enhanced with gravity, layer control, fly-mode, egress recognition and pre-saved walkthroughs for the ultimate design exploration.

Element information – surface finishes, volumes, sizes and quantities – can also be displayed with a click of the mouse. Exact measurements can be taken during the real-time walkthrough to help design decisions and forecast cost related design issues.

VB Explorer provides shaded, Open-GL or Global Illumination view styles combined with grayscale, hidden-line or edge-outlined presentation modes for the ultimate design understanding and communication.

The Sun altitude and azimuth; the camera height and viewing cone as well as the image brightness and transparency can be altered for professional project presentation and design communication.

• VBE creates 3D virtual design presentations with the help of its built-in shaded Open-GL rendering engine ensuring professional presentation quality. Edge outline can also be activated to provide greater contrast between elements.

• VBEG creates 3D virtual design presentations using the shaded Open-GL rendering engine combined with Global Illumination - produced by the built-in radiosity rendering engine. GI ensures even more realistic visualization – incorporating soft shadows and diffuse inter-reflections.

Share your design intent and the architectural project with virtually anyone without installing any application or learning any new software.

All stakeholders - clients, consultants, builders, etc. - can explore and fully understand the entire architectural project design at any stage of the design development process in a user friendly 3D navigation environment. And all this without the need to hold a license of Graphisoft ArchiCAD or Virtual Building Explorer!
