Cadimage Tools <Latest>

Cadimage Tools is a third‑party extension for Archicad (by Graphisoft) that adds over 30 specialized tools and objects. It focuses on real‑world construction detailing—especially for residential and commercial projects in markets like the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Key categories include roofing, stairs, joinery, framing, drainage, and documentation.

Note: Cadimage was acquired by Graphisoft in 2017. Many tools are now bundled as Graphisoft Paragon or available separately. This guide covers the classic Cadimage Toolset. cadimage tools


While ArchiCAD has basic beams, Cadimage offers structural nodes: Cadimage Tools is a third‑party extension for Archicad

Architectural firms face pressures to deliver detailed construction documents quickly while maintaining accuracy. Native Archicad offers robust BIM authoring, but firms often require specialized features for standardized details, custom annotations, and drawing production. Cadimage Tools fills gaps by offering customizable libraries and workflow utilities tailored to common office standards. Note: Cadimage was acquired by Graphisoft in 2017

This is arguably the most celebrated Cadimage module. It offers an exhaustive library of highly parametric joinery that goes far beyond simple rectangles.

Stairs are notoriously difficult to model in BIM. The Cadimage Stair Tool eliminates headaches.
