ARCHICAD 19’s new background processing generates nearly instant model views.
Most of the time, your computer’s processing capacity is fairly uneven. That’s because different kinds of computing processes are needed to support the architectural design workflow. Tasks requiring more processing capacity are interspersed with tasks that are not so demanding, so your workflow may appear to speed up… and slow down.
Only ARCHICAD 19 takes advantage of unused computer capacity by anticipating what you might do next and preparing for those actions in the background. This “second guessing” greatly increases the overall responsiveness of the application, so it feels more agile with projects of any kind or size. That’s the dramatic difference you’ll notice between this next- gen technology and standard BIM software without background processing.
The results speak for themselves. In ARCHICAD19, it takes up to 70% less time to open BIM-based 3D views – depending on the complexity of the design project and the workstation you’reu sing. And the opening time for all model-based sections, elevations or 3D Documents has dropped by up to 50%.
Thanks to these innovations, opening and switching between various model views will happen almost instantly. No more waiting for a view to load. So you’ll save time and enjoy a smoother workflow. And you’ll be able to focus on design, instead of worrying about your workstation.
