Unlike "dumb" geometry imported from other tools, shells in ArchiCAD 15 were intelligent BIM elements with structural information. 2. Renovation Workflow & Palette
Introduced tools to move beyond traditional rectilinear building forms into complex, organic shapes. archicad-15
Supported Extruded , Revolved , and Ruled (hyperbolic paraboloid) geometries. Unlike "dumb" geometry imported from other tools, shells
A blue, auto-orienting grid that appeared in 3D views to provide a stable surface for element creation and modification. organic shapes. Supported Extruded
Improved coordination with engineers, including the ability to save MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) elements as lightweight BREPs for better performance. System Requirements and Performance
