Cloud-Based AI Visualizer in Archicad 28

We are excited to introduce the Cloud-Hosted AI Visualizer in Archicad 28, powered by Stable Diffusion! This innovative tool enhances your workflow during the early design phase, generating design alternatives based on your initial concepts and prompts. With the AI Visualizer, you can add details, context, and fresh ideas to your designs, making it a valuable asset for architects and design professionals.


AI-Assisted Inspiration

Ready to enhance your project with the AI Visualizer? We've chosen the industry-leading Stable Diffusion Engine to power Archicad’s AI Visualizer, ensuring it meets the unique needs of architects and designers. Create a simple concept model in Archicad and use text prompts to generate a multitude of refined design variations for your clients—all without manually creating multiple detailed models.


Explore a New Design Process

The Archicad AI Visualizer produces design alternatives during the early design phase, enhancing your original concept with added details and ideas. This allows you to:

  • Get Inspired: Tap into your creativity with high-quality images generated by the Stable Diffusion AI engine.

  • Accelerate Design: Evaluate more potential design alternatives quickly, reducing the need for additional 3D modeling.

  • Involve Your Clients: Present visual alternatives to clients early in the design process, facilitating meaningful feedback.

  • Expand Your Toolset: Impress your clients with stunning visualizations optimized for architectural and interior design.


Seamless Integration with Archicad

The AI Visualizer is deeply integrated with Archicad, requiring no additional third-party solutions or add-ons. From Archicad 28 onwards, it will run automatically in the cloud, saving and storing images locally. This cloud-based infrastructure means you don’t need powerful hardware or complex installation procedures—simply use it right out of the box!


Availability

The Archicad AI Visualizer is available to Archicad Collaborate users and students eager to integrate AI-powered architectural visualization into their workflows. Your enthusiastic feedback while testing the experimental desktop AI Visualizer for Archicad 27 confirmed our decision to develop this new cloud-based version.


Important Transition Information
