While Archicad is often praised for its "architect-first" creative flexibility compared to Revit, Cadimage takes that flexibility even further. By automating the technical documentation and complex modeling phases, you can spend more time on what actually matters: .
If you are opening a project created in ArchiCAD 24 with Cadimage 24 tools, do not simply open it in ArchiCAD 26. cadimage archicad 26

Cadimage objects for ArchiCAD 26 are fully BIMx-compatible. When you publish a BIMx model, your Cadimage stairs, roofs, and hardware will retain their hyper-model geometry. However, ensure you use the "High Detail" setting in BIMx Publisher; Cadimage parametric elements do not simplify well at "Low Detail." | Feature | Native ArchiCAD 26 | Cadimage
