GRAPHISOFT introduced ArchiCAD STAR(T) Edition 2010, the latest release of its entry-level building information modeling (BIM) software. Available today, ArchiCAD STAR(T) 2010 gives small architecture firms a fully-functioned BIM solution without the hefty price tag.

New features in ArchiCAD STAR(T) Edition 2010 include:

  • Gradient and image fill enhancements
  • Improved Open GL display in 3D
  • Symbolic soft insulation
  • Improved Find & Select
  • Custom slab/roof edge
  • Embedded objects
  • Latest DWG/DXF I/O interface
