The Graphisoft API Development Kit (API DevKit) is the official software development kit for extending Archicad with native add-ons. It provides C/C++ headers, libraries, templates, and tools to build cross-platform extensions that read, create, and modify BIM data, customize the user interface, and automate production workflows on Windows and macOS. The kit includes comprehensive documentation, sample projects, migration notes, and versioned SDKs aligned with each Archicad release, helping developers deliver reliable, high-performance solutions that integrate seamlessly with Archicad and BIMcloud Teamwork environments.

Key capabilities:

• Access and manipulate model elements, attributes, properties, and selections.
• Register menus, commands, palettes, dialogs, and custom tools within Archicad’s UI.
