Design Options in Archicad 27 (Part 1 of 4) | Jared Banks, AIA

Because "a piece" can mean a few different things in Archicad (an object, a template, or a guide), I have provided the three most useful "pieces" for Archicad 27 below.

ARCHICAD 27 is a version of Graphisoft’s Building Information Modeling (BIM) software used for architectural design, documentation, collaboration, and visualization. It’s a desktop-centered BIM authoring tool that integrates 2D drawing, 3D modeling, parametric object management, and data-rich documentation for the entire building lifecycle.

Archicad has always bridged the gap between BIM and visualization, and version 27 tightens that gap. The integration with has been improved, allowing for more complex algorithmic modeling that feeds directly into the BIM model without breaking the geometric integrity.
