Parametric design was not native. Architects used ArchiCAD 14 purely for documentation. Organic shapes usually involved exporting a 3D DWG to Rhino 4.0, modeling there, and importing back as a "Morph" (though Morphs in v14 were basic compared to today).

The interface introduced on-the-fly element reservation. This eliminated workflow bottlenecks by letting users claim specific elements instantly without locking entire layers or stories. User Interface and Productivity Enhancements archicad 14

Graphisoft released ArchiCAD 14 in 2010 under the marketing tagline "Open BIM." This specific version marked a major turning point in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.
