Graphisoft has deployed ArchiCAD 9 Special Edition Library.
Tailored to meet the specific needs of architects in North America, the
new object libraries and templates for ArchiCAD 9 provide a simplified
user interface and save architects time by reducing click-throughs and
improving workflow.
"We went directly to our users in the U.S. to determine
exactly what tools would help them to better meet their customers'
expectations. The new Special Edition Library is the direct result of
customer feedback and our relationship with our user base," said
Miklos Szovenyi-Lux, director of ArchiCAD Release Management,
Graphisoft.
"Graphisoft's ArchiCAD has enabled us to be more
efficient and therefore allowed more time to design than any other
building modeling software packages on the U.S. market," said
Richard Crowe, AIA, principal of Gilchrist Ross Crowe Architects.
"The new library is excellent, and contains many refinements of
existing objects as well as the creation of new intelligent
objects."
Targeted for both new and existing customers, the latest object
libraries and templates are currently available to all U.S. users with a
valid ArchiCAD license. The new library includes: Start-up file
enhancements containing fill types, materials and U.S.-standard
multi-layered walls and finishes. In addition, it continues to refine
previous content such as:
* Completely new American door and window library with enhanced
user interface for better productivity;
* Fire ladders, elevators; and,
* Store fronts, toilet partitions, gutters and more.
"I am very impressed with the new libraries and the attention
Graphisoft continues to show in understanding the needs of my clients.
The new library part features are very comprehensive and intuitively
work the way we design," said Link Ellis, mobile ArchiCAD trainer
for ArchiLINK.

The ArchiCAD 9 Special Edition Library is currently accessible from
