How Aristeem Integrates Top Archicad Plugins for Faster Design

Popular plugins significantly expand Archicad’s capabilities, making the work of architects, engineers, and designers more efficient. They allow you to automate complex processes, integrate the program with other professional tools, and create more detailed and realistic models.

1. PARAM-O
This plugin is installed in Archicad by default. It allows you to create parametric objects without programming, using a simple graphical interface.
2. MEP Modeler
Also included in the standard Archicad package. The plugin allows you to create accurate 3D models of engineering systems — ventilation, pipelines, cable routes. The MEP BIM Modeler can detect collisions with architectural or structural elements, which significantly increases the accuracy of design. Thanks to MEP Modeler for Archicad, engineers save time on correcting errors and ensure more precise coordination.
3. Rhino-Grasshopper Toolset
This tool integrates Archicad with Grasshopper and Rhino, opening up a wide range of possibilities for complex parametric design. Architects can create geometrically complex shapes, generate alternative solutions, and quickly transfer data between programs. The only requirement is that you have Rhino installed.

Other useful plugins

• Datasmith Exporter — export to Unreal Engine for visualizations.
• Solibri Archicad — model checking and BCF exchange.
• Plugin Cinema 4D for Archicad, and Bluebeam plugin — additional capabilities for visualization and PDF review. With Bluebeam Archicad integration, it is easier to collaborate and review documents.
