Shadow analysis

Calculate Sun path, shadows, etc. and publish the results on your layouts.
Image
Automatic dimensioning

3 clicks are enough to dimension your whole building project
Image
Suspended ceilings

Add built-in lights, ceilings with multiple levels,
coverings and electrical accessories.
Image
List surfaces

The program automatically regocnizes room contours,
so you can calculate your surfaces easily.
Image
Quantity take-offs

List materials, openings, equipment, furniture, surfaces,
and many more.
Image
With CAD tools you know and love

Use drawing tools you are already familiar with - lines,
polylines, layers, etc.
Image
Parametric Roofs

Create complex structures, edit roof elements, rafters,
battens, purlins, etc. Configure multiple roof layers,
and build your own roof styles.
Image
Curtain walls

Use parametric curtain walls where you can define all aspects -
frame cross-section, glass panel material - down to the finest details.

CAD or BIM?
Using BIM technology, you can create higher-quality designs and replace geometric solids with real architectural and construction elements.

ARCHLine.XP LT is the perfect BIM software for those who already have 2D drawing skills and want to start using BIM aspects. The program helps to create high-quality 3D architectural designs and documentation - get better results in less time.

BUILD UPON YOUR EXISTING CAD SKILLS
ARCHLine.XP LT uses well-known CAD tools, so training time is cut short.
 
The software introduces BIM elements and parameters to your workflow. You are not drawing lines to represent the architectural entities anymore. You will draw walls, slabs, doors and windows, which have an instant representation both in 2D and 3D. 
 
If you need to change anything, the software updates all instances, viewports, sections and elevations. This is comprehensive planning where mistakes and errors can be filtered out instantly.

MODELING IN ARCHLINE.XP LT
When you draw with ARCHLine.XP, you are not drawing lines, you are drawing architectural elements.
 
You will work with walls and their own layer structure, heights and materials. Doors/windows are parametric, predefined and saved in libraries usable in many projects. Roofs and floors can be associated to building outer contour lines or they can be sketched freely.

COMPATIBILITY
Are your colleagues or peers using a different software platform? No problem!
Exchange designs freely with other CAD and BIM software users using IFC or DWG™, DXF and RVT™ formats.

BUNDLE FOR BIM AND VISUALS
ARCHLine.XP LT and ARCHLine.XP LIVE – The perfect bundle.
Transform your 3D model from ARCHLine.XP LT to ARCHLine.XP LIVE and you can create high-quality visualization images, videos, and live walkthroughs.
 
ARCHLine. XP LIVE enables architecture and interior spaces to be visualized in real-time, simulating plants that move in the wind, waving water, and other environmental features such as cloudy sky, sunset, people, vehicles, etc.
 
There is no rendering time so that you can react to your client's requests immediately, on the fly, and reflect modifications in minutes, regardless of the size and complexity of your project.

ARCHLine.XP LIVE is sold separately.

HOW SWITCHING TO BIM IMPACTED MY WORK
A decisive fact to acquire ARCHLine.XP was the day when a client requested the project budget for a small operating room and defined that the project would have to be compatible with BIM.

My first project using ARCHLine was the development of a structure for installing equipment in a hospital facility.
For me, the biggest advantage of using BIM is to allow real-time visualization of the creation of a new project.

How can I update my computer's graphics driver?

  • If you have a notebook or laptop computer: Please visit the website of the notebook manufacturer to download the latest driver.
  • If you have a desktop or workstation computer: Before you can update the graphics driver, you need to know what kind of graphics card you have. For more information about how to find out what graphics card you have in your PC, do the following. The easiest way is to run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool:
    • Click "Start".
    • On the "Start" menu, click "Run".
    • In the "Open" box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks) , and then click "OK".
    • The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the "Display" tab.
    • On the "Display" tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the "Device" section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
    • Once you know the kind of graphics card you have, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest driver. Here are links for downloading drivers from the most common graphics card manufacturers: NVIDIAATI (AMD)Intel

Important note: Most Intel graphics solutions are developed for office use and NOT recommended for CAD applications!

 

CLOUD-BASED SOLUTIONS

ARCHLine.XP only supports Google Drive for storing and managing projects in the cloud. Google Drive is integrated into ARCHLine.XP, however other cloud based solutions are not recommended e.g. Microsoft OneDrive.

 

NOT SUPPORTED SOFTWARE
