Graphisoft’s 2026 updates pave the way for more AI workflows

This month, Archicad users will be offered early access to Nemetschek Creator and the Open Collaboration Platform, plus high-end real-time visualisation through Maxon Redshift. The cloud-native Nemetschek Creator supports early-stage design, sustainability and feasibility insights, AI-assisted analysis and Archicad connections that carry design intent from concept into BIM – all connected in a shared workspace.

Graphisoft’s AI roadmap also includes an updated AI visualiser that delivers higher-quality results with a choice of top-tier AI image models, such as Nano Banana Pro. An evolving AI assistant for product learning and best-practice guidance, enhanced with AI assistant spaces, lets architects build a personalised knowledge base from their own documents.

“Great design depends on the freedom to explore, decide, and collaborate with confidence,” said Márton Kiss, chief product officer at Graphisoft. “With our 2026 product portfolio, we are extending the best design experience beyond architectural modelling by bringing data-informed, AI-assisted workflows across the project lifecycle and keeping architects and engineers at the centre of the creative process.”

The latest version of Archicad also delivers usability, documentation, project data, visualisation and collaboration improvements for everyday architectural work, Graphisoft said. Highlights include Dark Mode for Windows, improved multistorey wall visibility, more flexible documentation controls, modernised project information management, customisable navigator organisation and expanded drawing-label options.

“Archicad is about refining the experience architects rely on every day,” Kiss said. “The latest release helps users spend less time managing their software and more time designing great buildings.”
