ArCADiasoft came into being in Łódź in mid-1997. Its founder Jarosław Chudzik has obtained his MSc degree in Construction from Łódź University of Technology.
Shortly after his graduation, Jarosław Chudzik moved to Germany and started a traineeship at Institut für Baumechanik und Numerische Mechanik (Universität Hannover) under professor Erwin Stein, with the intention of writing his doctoral thesis. Tempted by an offer from mb programme, one of the biggest German IT companies dealing in the field of construction engineering, which was searching for a construction engineer with the knowledge of computer programming languages at that time, he started working in the Software Development department. After 10 years, he returned to Poland and made use of the experience gained in Germany in order to found a company, which turned out to rapidly achieve financial success. It later allowed for the creation of the comprehensive, object-oriented ArCADia BIM system – the company’s flagship product that enables various designers to cooperate among their locations.
ArCADiasoft Chudzik sp. j. is the biggest Polish manufacturer of software for building engineering. Its programs are sold in Poland, as well as in Austria, Brasil, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Finland, Germany, Ghana, Indie, Italy, Malaysia, Nigeria, Russia the UK and Turkey.
The programs are written in the BIM technology and they include modules for architecture, constructions and installations. The company has got its own distribution network and uses it to sell its author’s programs and also other manufacturers’ programs, such as IntelliCAD, whose distribution is allowed by membership in the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium, and ArCon, among others.
ArCADiasoft also produces programs on request, and specialises in writing software for building engineering, while applying its IT expertise. We have cooperated with companies such as: Henkel, BALMA, PAROC, Sanitec and Saint-Gobain.
ArCADiasoft equals 20 years of experience in creating computer applications for the construction industry and more than 100 products for architects and engineers. Our programs range from structural design to interior and installation design to energy performance of buildings calculations to buildings’ surroundings design. ArCADiasoft is the author of the ArCADia BIM system.

ArCADia BIM
The flagship of the Company’s offer is the object-oriented ArCADia BIM system. It is a user-friendly tool for comprehensive calculation/graphics support of a building engineering design process, which allows communication between individual fields, including collision detecting
ArCADia-Import/Export (IFC,DXF,DWG,ACP)
ArCADia BIM AC 10
ArCADia AC is an add-on to the AutoCAD software which enables the embedding and communications of the ArCADia systems base functions with the AutoCAD software.
Communication with the AutoCAD software
ArCADia AC is a special version of the system that allows to install it with the AutoCAD software
This ArCADia tool enables the user to
compare designs created in the ArCADia BIM system and to find the
differences between them.
MERGING DOCUMENTS:
This tool allows to include multiple designs
of various installations in one document.
MANAGING A DRAWING OF A BUILDING:
The management of views and displayed
information using the comprehensive Project Manager tree.
The automatically created 3D view is
available in a separate window to allow a presentation of the entire body of
the building or e.g. a part of a level.
INSERTING:
Elements like walls, windows, doors, etc.,
are now inserted with the use of the intelligent tracking function.
WALLS:
Selecting walls from defined types or
setting of any specified composite walls.
A built-in catalogue of building materials
that is based on the PN-EN 6946 and PN-EN 12524 standards.
Inserting virtual walls that are invisible
in the 3D preview or cross-section. They divide the room space in order to
distinguish an open-space function, for example.
Heat transfer coefficient is calculated
automatically on the base of the materials selected for the space dividers
(walls, ceilings, roof).
WINDOWS AND DOORS:
Inserting windows and doors by means of
parameters from the program library and creating user-defined windows and
doors.
The possibility to define the windowsill
protrusion inside and outside a room, as well as its thickness.
The possibility to switch off a windowsill.
CEILINGS
Automatic insertion of floors (according to
a level outline).
ArCADia-TERIVA CEILINGS:
The module is used to prepare drawings for
structural systems of Teriva ceilings. Drawings include all the main
elements of the system: ceiling beams, transverse beams, hidden beams,
trimmers, KZE and KWE ring fittings, KZN and KWN lintel elements, support
grids and additionally all necessary lists of materials covering listed
elements, supplemented with the reinforced steel and monolithic concrete
required to create a ceiling.
Automatic and manual calculation of all
Teriva ceilings (4.0/1; 4.0/2; 4.0/3; 6.0; 8.0) in the ceiling areas of any
shape.
Automatic distribution of beams, transverse
beams and ring beams on internal and external walls and on main beams.
Automatic setting of a system of trimmers
for openings and beams for partition walls.
Automatic solving of a side ceiling access
to a wall.
Automatic calculation and setting of the
required plane and offset grids.
ROOMS:
Automatic creation of rooms from closed
outlines of walls and virtual walls.
Temperatures and lighting requirements are
automatically assigned to rooms, depending on their names.
The possibility to change the graphic
imaging of a room in the view, e.g. by filling or colour.
BINDING JOISTS:
Inserting binding joists, including
reinforcements defined both for bars and stirrups.
COLUMNS:
Insertion of columns of rectangular and
elliptical cross-section.
CHIMNEYS:
The insertion of single chimney openings or
chimney shafts (groups of chimneys with a set number of columns and lines).
The possibility to insert chimney ducts or
mark the outlet of existing chimneys.
New chimney profiles.
STAIRS:
Defining one- and multi-flight stairs and
winder stairs in any plan.
New types of stairs: monolithic with treads
or see-through with stringers. The possibility to choose the type and

The Type Manager is used to manage types
used in a document and existing in the global library. From now on, it can
be saved in templates which object types will be used.
LAYOUTS:
Groups of elements of various types can be
saved into a single type. All connections, sizes of elements and other
