Unleash the full power of Archicad with Ci Tools
These comprehensive set of tools to provide are an extension to Archicad providing added flexibility and efficiency.
Doors+Windows Tool
The Ci Doors+Windows Tool gives you the freedom to explore a greater variety of door and window styles with a variety of panels, opening methods, trims and sills.
Add personality to your designs without restrictions on style, complexity or construction. What’s more, door and window objects made using this tool can be shared across projects, using the powerful Ci Presets system.
Keynotes Tool
End the tedium and potential errors of annotating your Archicad drawings by using Ci Keynotes.
Keynotes allows you to annotate your drawings quickly and simply with greater accuracy by providing a framework to create a database of notes (or to transfer an existing database) so that notes automatically attach to elements based on their attributes.
You can place a full note without any reference directly on a drawing, or place a reference key on the drawing and then Keynotes compiles a schedule of these notes.
Cabinets Tool
Use just one highly-configurable object to model all your cabinetry, instead of having to use separate objects for each different cabinet type and shape.
Using the new library you can easily model flat and curved cupboard doors and drawer fronts. Mix and match from a generous palette of editable panel styles and handle types to create that unique look.
Coverings Tool
Add realism to your Archicad model by applying 3D modelled skins to walls, slabs, columns and roofs in both 2D and 3D views.
This tool will add depth and detail to the surfaces of your Archicad projects. The surfaces are represented in your 2D, 3D, section and elevation views and they even retain their correct proportions when object sizes are changed.
The surfaces created maintain an automatic relationship to the primary elements, and whenever it is updated or changed, the attached 3D modelled objects update correspondingly.
EPTAR REINFORCEMENT
Eptar Reinforcement is an add-on for Archicad, designed to assist civil engineers and architects in creating, managing, and optimizing rebar components for construction projects. With Eptar Reinforcement, users can easily draft rebar details directly within Archicad, generate technical documentation, and manage cutting lists for rebar quantities.
This tool enables the design and visualization of rebar components in both 2D and 3D models, meeting the technical standards of the construction industry. Eptar Reinforcement also facilitates close collaboration between architects and engineers on the same BIM model without leaving the Archicad environment, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in design and construction.
EPTAR ARCHITERRA
Architerra is the solution for Archicad users for creating and managing 3D terrain models. This tool is especially useful when working on large areas, allowing the addition of elements like roads, plateaus, buildings, and other components.
Architerra was developed to address the specific need of Archicad users for creating and managing 3D land models.
Architerra supports terrain modeling by allowing users to draw sites directly or import data from various file types, such as DXF, Text, or Shape files. This tool enables users to work and visualize terrain morphology in both 2D and 3D spaces.
EPTAR TILING
The Tiling tool was developed to streamline the room tiling plan drawing process, while allowing users to set up 3D models for visualizing interior designs. This application also provides precise calculations for the required materials, including total and net areas, or even piece counts.

Coordinate better with our issue management
Within the Catenda common data environment (CDE), work more efficiently with topics. Add, import, organize and collaborate on topics. The use of open standards such as BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) enables all actors using different software to collaborate on construction and infrastructure projects.
Visualize your 3D and 2D models
The powerful 3D viewer available in Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync) allows everyone involved in a project to view the models and collaborate. Combine our high performance 3D viewer with auto-generated 2D floor plans to get a full overview of all of the models in your projects.
Enrich your models and documents
The CDE Catenda Hub gathers all the data of a project. Add relevant information to your models, taking measurements, making cuts and coloring objects. To collaborate more effectively, link documents and data to your virtual asset with a single click, creating a true digital twin.

GEO5 is a suite of geotechnical engineering software developed by Fine Software, designed for the analysis, design, and modeling of various geotechnical structures. It is widely used by civil and geotechnical engineers to perform soil and foundation analyses, slope stability assessments, and retaining structure design. GEO5 is known for its user-friendly interface and its ability to handle both simple and complex geotechnical problems.
GEO5 consists of individual modules that each address a specific type of geotechnical task. Instead of being a single monolithic application, GEO5 is structured as a set of specialized programs that allow users to select the exact tools they need for different analyses, such as foundations, retaining walls, tunnels, or slope stability. The software integrates these modules so that data and results from one analysis can be used in another.
Key Features of GEO5:
- Comprehensive Geotechnical Analysis: GEO5 provides a wide range of tools to perform analyses of various geotechnical structures, including:
- Slope Stability: For analyzing slopes, embankments, and dams under various conditions.
- Foundation Design: Tools for designing shallow and deep foundations, such as footings, piles, and rafts.
- Retaining Walls: Support for gravity, cantilever, and anchored retaining walls, including slope effects and load analysis.
- Modular Approach: GEO5’s modular system allows users to purchase and use only the specific modules they need. This makes the software cost-effective and customizable to the needs of different projects or users. Modules include tools for soil settlement, earth pressure analysis, and ground improvement methods.
- User-Friendly Interface: GEO5 is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, making it accessible even for engineers who are not highly experienced with specialized geotechnical software. Each module has a simple and logical workflow that guides users through the input and analysis stages.
- 3D Analysis Capabilities: For more complex geotechnical challenges, GEO5 offers 3D modules, such as:
- GEO5 FEM: Finite Element Method analysis for advanced 3D soil and structure interaction simulations.
- Pile Group Analysis: For assessing pile groups in 3D, including settlement and load distribution.
- Soil and Rock Databases: GEO5 includes built-in databases of soils and rocks that users can customize for their projects. These materials can be used in different analyses, ensuring that results are based on accurate geotechnical data.
- Support for International Standards: GEO5 supports various international design standards, such as Eurocode 7, DIN, BS, and ACI, allowing users to perform geotechnical analysis according to the regulations and codes required for different regions and projects.
- Integration with CAD and BIM: GEO5 can export data to CAD software, allowing users to integrate geotechnical design with structural and architectural models. This facilitates smoother collaboration between geotechnical and structural engineers, especially in BIM workflows.
Impressive Features:
- Automatic Cross-Section Generation: Users can generate detailed cross-sections and profiles based on analysis results, streamlining reporting and documentation.
- Limit State Design: GEO5 provides advanced features for limit state design and verification, ensuring that geotechnical designs meet safety requirements under various load conditions.
