archicad workstations
ARCHICAD is a powerful 3D computer-aided design modeling software created by and for AEC professionals. The first CAD application capable of creating both 2D and 3D geometry, ARCHICAD continues to be revolutionary for architectural design and modeling. However, in order for it to operate effectively and provide a quality user experience, a high performance BOXX ARCHICAD recommended hardware is essential.
3D Modeling
3D modeling processes consume significant hardware resources. In particular, background processes in ARCHICAD require multiple CPU cores (a staple of BOXX APEXX workstations). Background processing boosts the performance, navigation and display of large, complex models, so your BOXX workstation provides critical computing power. Without it, ARCHICAD will run slowly, resulting in a frustrating experience when trying to produce a model under strict deadlines.
BOXX APEXX ARCHICAD workstations are also equipped with ARCHICAD recommended components to accelerate 3D modeling and design processes. For example, our APEXX S3 features a performance tuned CPU that effectively supports the multi-threaded background processing capabilities and frequency-bound design tasks of ARCHICAD.
Because models must frequently be stored somewhere on the machine, we recommend a minimum of 32GB of physical RAM to best save models and run applications simultaneously. Contact one of our ARCHICAD performance specialists to custom-configure your ideal workstation.

- -Document: More precise quantity and cost estimations. New labeling options for Zones and MEP elements.
Rendering
Rendering within ARCHICAD is an intensive process, so whenever possible, it should be offloaded to a dedicated rendering system. ARCHICAD integrates well with Cinema 4D to merge changes made in ARCHICAD into existing Cinema 4D visualizations. Your CPU will be an important factor in time spent rendering high-end visualizations and animations within these programs.
Featuring a powerful Intel® Core® processor and additional memory, the APEXX S4 ARCHICAD workstation is ideal for CPU-intensive applications and rendering activities within ARCHICAD, as is AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™-based APEXX T4. Both systems allow you to produce complex projects in less time. Contact one of our ARCHICAD performance specialists to custom-configure your ideal workstation.
