BIMcloud Basic – End on macOS
Hi There,
It is now official on Graphisoft’s website that BIMcloud Basic, the non-subscription version, will no longer be developed for macOS in the future.
See here: Phasing out on-premises BIMcloud support for macOS
At the moment, BIMcloud Basic still runs on Macs via Rosetta using Intel code. This means that it may no longer run on future versions of macOS once Apple removes Rosetta support. Apparently, there are currently no plans to port BIMcloud Basic to Apple Silicon.
So what does this mean for the future of Archicad on the Mac—especially now that Apple is once again offering genuinely powerful professional computers?
I have also posted this in the Graphisoft Community in the hope of reaching a wider audience.

If you are affected by this decision, please share your opinion there and elsewhere. Hopefully, enough feedback from Mac-based Archicad users and offices will encourage Graphisoft to reconsider and continue supporting BIMcloud Basic on the Apple platform.
