In addition to Building Together, the newly aligned product groups have a new slogan for their integrated design strategy - The Power of One - the digital twin, the single source of the truth.īIMcloud was introduced with Archicad 18 In 2014 and it is the connective tissue of Graphisoft’s BIM approach. As they have been for some time, Nemetschek is committed to Open BIM workflows, which is now allowing them to interconnect their products. Nemetschek unveiled a new workflow built around a shared BIMcloud environment for users of Archicad 24, SCIA Engineer, and RISA-3D. With this year’s Graphisoft meeting, a united Nemetschek demonstrated integrated workflows adding structural design and analysis from RISA and SCIA to Graphisoft’s design capabilities to users. These and many more changes, as well as people behind the scenes, signal the new direction Nemetschek is taking. And in that same year, the company acquired structural engineering company RISA to complement its SCIA software for structural design and analysis. In 2017, the Nemetschek Group announced its commitment to creating a CDE, common data environment for its products in order to comply with the requirements set by the UK BIM Mandate. In 2016, Biplab Sarkar took over the helm of Vectorworks. Viktor Várkonyi, who was CEO of Graphisoft until March 2019 has become Nemetschek’s Chief Division Officer for Planning and Design, committed to bringing all the parts of Nemetschek into a powerful whole. Among the changes made are the arrival of David Gavron from Adobe to become the CEO of Maxon, and Huw Roberts from Bentley Systems to lead Graphisoft. Nemetschek reorganized its executive leadership and is committed to integrating its products.


However, the individual products have not been totally integrated.Īll that’s changed. Over the years, Nemetschek has built a significant portfolio of CAD capabilities that fills out an end-to-end workflow for BIM. Founded in 1982 in Budapest by Gábor Bojár who remains as chairman, Graphisoft defined BIM with the introduction of its flagship product Archicad.

More important for parent company Nemetschek, the virtual conference also showcased new levels of interoperability with Nemetschek’s RISA and SCIA for an integrated BIM workflow with increased cloud-based resources. This year the theme was Building Together as CEO Huw Roberts and his team unveiled a new version of Archicad. Graphisoft convened a meeting of our virtual selves for their annual worldwide meeting.
