Cadimage Tools May 2026

Cadimage Tools (now often referred to as Ci Tools ) are a suite of add-ons designed to extend Archicad's functionality in areas like cabinetry, coverings, electrical, and doors/windows. Because these tools are version-specific, you must always match the tool version to your Archicad version (e.g., Cadimage 2025 for Archicad 2025). Installation Guide

• Stairs: Create complex stairs (spiral, floating treads, winder stairs) faster than native tools. It generates the 2D symbol and 3D model simultaneously.
• Fences & Railings: The Fences tool allows you to draw a line and instantly populate it with posts, rails, and infills. It automatically follows the terrain (mesh) or stair geometry.

• Keynotes: An intelligent keynoting system that links annotations to a central database, automatically updating labels if the model changes.
• GFC (Graphic Frame Creator): A tool for creating detailed elevation and section markers that extract exactly what you need from the model.
• 2D Document: A hybrid tool that allows you to add 2D linework on top of 3D views without breaking the model’s integrity—ideal for presentation drawings.

• expand this into a full-length academic-style paper (with citations and sections like literature review, methodology, and appendix),
• create a firm-specific adoption plan or pilot checklist,
• or draft a one-page vendor comparison including costs and features. Which would you like?

• Parametric blocks/objects: windows, doors, hardware, kitchen units, stairs with additional controls.
• Annotation and schedule tools: advanced labeling, tag management, and enhanced scheduling/export capabilities.
• Detailing aids: linework tools, hatch management, and detail libraries for consistent construction details.
• Documentation automation: batch publishing, sheet numbering helpers, and drawing set management aids.
• Modeling utilities: quick creation of complex geometry (e.g., custom stairs or joinery) and improved control over element attributes.
