ArchiCAD VBE: revolutionary way of presentation of architectural projects

27th February 2009

The Hungarian company Graphisoft, a developer of one of the most popular systems for architectural design under the name of ArchiCAD, released a new product called VBE (Virtual Building Explorer). The package VBE allows you to explore models of buildings created in ArchiCAD 12, structures and architectural complexes in the style of computer games from the 1st person. In addition, VBE will enable you to create autonomous executable files, so that customers, consultants and builders can use these files to get familiar with future structures, having no license for VBE or ArchiCAD.
A virtual environment, offered by VBE to study information models of buildings in the BIM format (Building Information Model), supports several rendering modes. When studying virtual models a user can switch on and off segments of the model to examine the necessary elements of the project closer. In fact, the package of Virtual Building Explorer makes examining building constructions a most exciting and simple procedure.
