![]() ![]() It bucks the trend with newer software developers out there being very open with their development and seeking early commentary on functionality and need. Going back a decade, Graphisoft was very open in the direction they were going and the features that were planned for development, Over the last 5-6 years Graphisoft are not sharing as much with their community on the direction of the software as they used to be. ![]() I also am concerned that as a software developer Graphisoft is becoming less and less transparent with its roadmap. ![]() It's almost as if it is distracted from its core client base, chasing different clients rather than satisfying its current ones. Maybe Archicad 26 is Graphisoft’s mid-life crisis? As a passionate user for over 22 years, I really hope that they can turn the corner and produce a great Archicad 27 in 2023. Is Graphisoft suffering from a mid-life crisis? ![]() How good would it have been if Archicad 26 was the best release ever, that could have been celebrated as much as this major milestone? For a software company, and the challenging start they had behind the iron curtain, this is a great achievement. What is sad, is that this year Graphisoft celebrate their 40 th Birthday. It is a real disappointment for me that the focus of development on this release appears to be more focused on Graphisoft’s new target client, ‘Structural Engineers’ rather than their long-standing customer base, Architects. I hope that next year I will be able to write an article with a top 5 feature list like I used to write when there were enough features to choose from. There weren’t even enough features in this release to do the usual 1-hour new features segment as part of the launch event. This year I honestly have to say that I have no excitement with this release and question whether I see any value whatsoever in moving from Archicad 25 to Archicad 26. In the past when a new release of Archicad comes out I like to write a blog post on the new features that I know will provide a great benefit to my business and the overall Archicad user community. ![]()
