Workstations and performance
Analysis of hardware, storage, networks, cloud sync and common bottlenecks with large project files.
IT for Archicad
Archicad IT support for workstations, networks and BIM files.
Large Archicad projects need suitable CAD workstations, stable network access and well-organised storage. novoSYS investigates performance issues and supports the infrastructure, synchronisation and backup around Archicad. Design questions and specialist application configuration are coordinated with your CAD partner.
Request adviceProject storage
Structured storage, permissions, versioning and secure collaboration with internal teams and external consultants.
Backup and operations
Protection against data loss, monitoring and recovery plans for active projects.
Archicad running slowly? What we check
We first establish whether opening local files is slow or whether the issue only occurs over the network or cloud. This helps narrow down the cause.
- Hardware and project: compare memory, available storage and behaviour with a representative project file.
- Data paths: assess local storage, server access and synchronisation separately; avoid uncontrolled editing across multiple storage locations.
- Collaboration: coordinate Archicad versions, permissions and the Teamwork environment with the responsible CAD partner.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does novoSYS install Archicad?
novoSYS manages the IT environment around Archicad. Specialist CAD configurations are coordinated with CAD partners when needed.
Why is Archicad sometimes slow?
Hardware, networks, storage locations, cloud sync, permissions or very large project files are often involved. An analysis identifies the bottlenecks.
Can Archicad be used with cloud storage?
It depends on the workflow. Clear rules help prevent conflicts involving synchronisation, versioning and file locking.
IT that works for architects every day.
novoSYS combines support, cloud, networking, telephony, backup and security with an understanding of CAD workflows.
What we cover in the first consultation
To tailor our recommendation to your practice, we discuss your team’s workflows and existing IT. The following information helps:
- Number of workstations, office locations and the Archicad or Vectorworks versions in use.
- Current project storage, external access and recurring issues.
- Existing backup solution, desired recovery times and planned changes.
