Allplan 2005 Information

Imagine - Draw the plan view as you have done for years in 2D but automatically generate all the elevational and sectional views - at the same time walk through a rendered virtual model - Now at the click of a button quantify all the doors, windows, rafters, brick-block-insulation in fact anything that you have drawn.

Imagine - this is only a small part of what Allplan 2005 can do for you - in less time that it originally took you to draw the plan view only.



Imagine - Allplan 2005

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allplan 2005 is the complete intelligent solution. Developed especially for architects, Allplan 2005 takes a superior approach to architectural computer aided design. It gives you the kind of advanced tools required to develop professional walk-through's including an unrivalled Live Virtual Animation allowing you to take your client through a rendered fly-through live on screen.

The comprehensive drafting and detailing will allow your practice to create precise construction drawings. Door and Window schedules can be a very time consuming part of a project, typically a 500 window schedule would take 2 - 3 days, - using Allplan 2005 it would take less than 2 minutes !

In most cases a seat of Allplan 2005 will pay for its self in the first 2 months of use - after which it's making your Practice money !

With Allplan 2005 you can move fluidly from 3D design, solid modelling, photo-realistic rendering, and live animation, to detailing, production drafting, and file sharing tools.


The software's fully integrated tool set unites all phases of the building design process - from floorplans to elevations, presentations and final documents - accurately updating your data as you go.


With object technology that has been integrated since 1984, Allplan 2005 offers one of the most robust and refined object-oriented tool-sets of any design software. Instead of using ordinary geometric elements like lines, circles, and arcs, you design with smart objects-walls, doors windows, stairs, roofs, and materials. A wall knows whether it 's an interior or exterior wall, a door automatically begins at the floor, and a window can only be created within a wall. Objects recalculate automatically when inserted or modified and any changes are tracked and reflected in all other project phases.

- newly developed interface technology ODX (O.P.E.N. Data Exchange) ensures

Design Features


Practical design planning
Ideas rarely materialize at the touch of a button, and usually only when you least expect them. Regardless of whether you draw your ideas on a napkin or express them digitally by using the D-Board®, you can easily scan and add everything into Allplan 2005 to work on it further. - import freehand sketches and digital D-Board® design drawings into Allplan 2005
- digital object functions from traditional model building such as cubes, spheres or cylinders
- freehand 3D drawing with shape recognition
- custom modeling, positioning, combining and merging of even the most complex objects
- testing, modifying, complementing and checking your designs in the form of a realistic preview and inspection in the 3D animation window

Intelligent building permission planning
From the rough concept to precise dimensioning, the data and designs you have created are instantly imported and processed further. - very simple design and definition work directly in 3D
- initial entry and modification of intelligent parts on the same screen
- work freely in the view of your choice: For example, you can move windows in the 3D view and simultaneously modify the floor plan, while you can also define and copy in isometric or perspective view
easily create elevations and sections from a 3D building model with a mouse click, including precise dimension strings
- realistic WYSIWYG plan layout

Simplified installation planning
The next step is precise calculating, dimensioning and cutting - here, too, Allplan 2005 helps you achieve your goals. - creating "intelligent parts": Ultimately, a complete building model is created from a great many pieces of combined information
- automatic "piercing" of walls that is graphically correct as well as correct in terms of the quantities involved
- assignment of priorities for individual parts, such as, for example, for a reinforced concrete support piercing a brick wall
- automatic separation of different materials
- automatic "repair" of intelligent parts while undoing work steps or modifications
- constant updating of the associative dimension strings, dimensions and areas at each individual step
- due to a unique "reference planes" technology, even complex design modifications can be processed in one step. For example, the story height can be modified with just one entry, and the system then automatically makes all further modifications, such as adjusting the wall height or correcting the breast or window lintel. If needed, all modifications to one story can be transferred to all other stories with a mouse click.

Comprehensive detailed planning
Working with precision: When it comes to taking care of the big picture, Allplan 2005 takes care of all the details and refinements. - comprehensive import and correct display of the data model throughout all work phases
- correct modification of hatching, patterns and pattern lines based on the drawing scale
- detailed processing with useful tools such as the detailing window
subsequent alteration of dimension lines, modification of parameters, dimension line points, colored pattern lines and mitering
- using familiar techniques such as linear snap, point snap or rotating the crosshairs.

Precise quantity takeoff
Allplan 2005 easily takes care of a great deal of important, time-consuming work, such as, for example, correct quantity takeoff, list and schedule output with graphic representation or problem-free data transfer to a tendering system. - automatic lists provide expert knowledge
- up-to-date, precise, clear quantities at any time with a mouse click
- CAD-supported quantity surveying allows invitations for tenders even at the item level
- precise area provision for manually or automatically calculated spaces
- automatic allocation of floor area and door reveal based on door swing
