Ashampoo® 3D CAD Architecture (1.08, 10 10 2008) The professional planning software for your PC Change tothe new CAD technology now! You are probably familiar with expensive planning software as used by architects and engineers. These software products usually cost thousands of euros since they have the capability to plan large-scale projects.

Based on the latest software technology, Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture provides similar capabilities at a fraction of the cost: 3D design, ‘intelligent’ components, perfect 2D/3D plans including cross sections and views, virtual reality image export, precise dimensioning and even calculation of quantities and costs. Sounds incredible? Just read on to learn more about Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture. Design family homes, shopping malls, high-rise buildings, or just a simple apartment; interactively, in a realistic 3D world. All views and windows are updated synchronously, regardless of whether you are planning in the 3D-window, a 2D plan or a cross section view. Easy to use but nevertheless with very accurate results.

2D

Powerful Functions Intelligent components An important feature of the software is the use of ‘intelligent’ construction components. Once you have positioned an ‘intelligent’ 3D object, the rest of the work is done for you by the software. For instance, when you are constructing wall by wall, the height of the walls is automatically adjusted to the height of the current floor. Accurate to the centimetre

Walls, doors, windows and columns can be edited precisely with the help of professional construction aids. For example, the reference point of a wall (i.e. centre-line, left or right side) can easily be switched during editing. Total flexibility Stair construction allows for the design of landing stairs, spiral stairs and even complex polygonal stairs. Stairs are constructed click by click using the mouse, with a 3D model of the stairs being created immediately during construction. You can define individually the various features of the stairs, from banisters down to individual surfaces and textures. Unlimited possibilities In no time at all, the first floor is finished. The room layout, which can be modified at any time, is only limited by your creativity.

Automatically perfect Now construct the roof: You can either let the software determine the style of the roof automatically based on the exterior walls, or you can specify the style yourself. Each section of the roof can be modified separately, for example as a hip or a gable with any angle and overhang. The "real work" however is done for you by the software: The entire timber frame is calculated automatically. Adaptive walls Once the roof has been constructed and placed in position, the walls directly under the roof are automatically adjusted to fit. Even quantities and costs are automatically recalculated to reflect changes to the walls. Professional window construction Windows can be constructed in any 3D- or 2D-view. Various types of windows are provided, and their size and functionality can be modified to suit your design. Simple positioning Windows can easily be inserted in each floor, even joining two windows at a corner of the building is no problem. Complete overview The entire editing of a building is performed with the aid of multiple views. If construction components are changed in one view, all other views of the project are automatically updated. Cross sections Cross sections and views are defined in the 2D floor plan, and are then created automatically by the software. The representation of a cross section can be simplified to produce a technical view showing just the outline of the cross section to which heights and dimensions can be added. Construction plans All aspects of project planning (e.g. floor plans, views and cross sections) can be compiled to produce detailed construction plans of the quality required by architects and engineers, with a choice of scale and up to DIN A0 in size.
