New Features for international project work With Allplan Architecture 2019 multiple country settings can be installed during setup or added afterwards and country settings can be chosen per project. Furthermore, right-to-left writing for Hebraic language is supported.
Multiple Enhancements within PythonParts With Allplan Architecture 2019, existing PythonParts have been enhanced. For example, the stair now comes with additional handles. It also displays whether threshold values for step length, comfort and safety are observed.
Integration of Steel section library via Allplan Bimplus To simplify the workflows when using steel profiles, with Allplan Engineering 2019 you can access the international Nemetschek catalogue for steel sections via Allplan Bimplus. They are available in Allplan including geometry and attributes. As the same catalogue is used across multiple Nemetschek products such as Frilo Statics or Scia Engineer this enables smooth data transfer between these products.
New Grids With Allplan Architecture 2019, a new grid with additional functionality is introduced. The user interface is based on palettes so that all properties can be defined and adjusted intuitively. Changes become immediately visible in the model. In addition, handles are offered when creating or modifying a grid.
Increase of user-defined roles in the Actionbar The Actionbar in Allplan Architecture 2019 helps users to easily access the functionality required by their role (Architecture, Engineering, Environment, Drafting, Bridges). It’s also possible to customize the default Actionbar by adding, removing or rearranging functions. Now more than one user-defined role is supported and configuration becomes more flexible. Roles can be exported, either individually or all together and imported, on the same computer.
Enhancements of the IFC4 interface IFC is the standard interface for openBIM projects. The latest release of the IFC4 brings further improvements, which are essential for BIM projects like the export of BaseQuantities. In addition, the user interface has been simplified. New options have been introduced, among others to split multilayered elements like walls and roofs into individual elements.
Better Overview with improved Object Palette The Object Palette in Allplan Architecture 2019 allows inspection and change of a large number of objects efficiently. It’s now possible to sort objects according to attributes. Objects with missing, outdated or wrongly assigned attributes can be identified and revised easily, thereby ensuring high-quality building models. It’s also now possible to move objects via Drag&Drop, e.g. from one floor to another.
Optimized Properties Palette The property palette in Allplan Architecture 2019 allows the management of settings for format, visualization and attributes for building components like walls, slabs, foundations, roofs and rooms. Additional settings can be made with the detailed object and attribute dialogues. With just one click, users get a better overview and modifications can be done faster than before. Furthermore, it’s also possible to modify multiple objects conveniently at the same time.
Time-Saving Modeling of Stairs With the new stair modeler, modeling of stairs is particularly fast. Staircase elements such as steps, substructures or cheeks as well as the properties can be easily defined with the aid of a separate pallet. You create the connections, e.g. to floor slabs, in the same way. Axles, sections, steps or distances can also be easily modified using handles. This enables time savings and at the same time precise creation and modification.
Improved teamwork for Architects and Engineers In Allplan Architecture 2019, new views and sections are now available for reinforcement detailing. With this development, write-access to the building model is no longer required when detailing reinforcement, bringing with it a number of benefits. For example, whilst architects may have write access to all building components, reinforcement detailers can be given write access for the placement of reinforcement only, with read-only access to the building components. This prevents unintentional modifications whilst working on shared models enhancing teamwork across disciplines.
Intuitive Level and Plane Management In Allplan Architecture 2019 the level and plane management is optimized and a new Floor Manager palette is introduced. The new palette makes the creation and modification of floors and levels much more convenient. Floors can be selected and names or elevations adjusted easily. Building components such as walls, slabs or columns can now be linked to any polygonized or free-form surface. Extensive direct object modification capabilities ensure efficient workflows under real-world conditions. To reduce further your workload, changes to levels can be automatically reflected in the project structure.
The right tools always at your fingertips With the new Actionbar, you will quickly find the tools you need for your task. The menu bar is structured according to different roles and tasks so that function groups, such as for modeling, drafting or visualization, are readily available.
The right representation for every screen No matter what monitor resolution you are working with, Allplan Architecture 2018 automatically adapts its user interface to the screen size and resolution. This automatic scalability provides consistent and convenient operation of the software.
Advanced data export of bim data with IFC4
With Allplan Architecture 2018, you can send all kinds of BIM model data, including free-form geometry and reinforcement to your planning partners completely and without any losses. This results in better quality and precision of the BIM model data. Using IFC4 also leads to better quality and control across the BIM project and supports the decision-making processes with all parties involved in the project.
Simplified collaboration via Allplan Share With the Allplan Share option and Allplan Architecture 2018, you can benefit from direct collaboration with project partners with the same Allplan data. Allplan Share is based on the BIM platform Allplan Bimplus and offers you additional functions, such as Model Viewer, Task Board and revision control. You can reduce your administrative effort and save yourself the acquisition and maintenance of a local server.
Efficient information management with Allplan Bimplus With the combination of Allplan Architecture 2018 and the BIM platform Allplan Bimplus, you can easily handle the exchange of thousands of pieces of information in BIM projects. You can use Allplan Bimplus to centrally define information and then use it in different systems and disciplines throughout the entire life cycle of a structure. This makes you more flexible in dealing with information and improves the data exchange.
Improvements in the area of sections and views The new labeling function in Allplan Architecture 2018 ensures consistently correct and quick labeling of sections and views. Since labeling is linked to the information in the BIM model, all changes applied are automatically updated in all of the sections and views linked to the model.
3D Modeling without compromise A multitude of optimizations in 3D modeling allows you to implement your visions without compromise: simply, flexibly and with the highest level of precision. These new features include multiple modification of the format properties for free formed 3D objects, the shell tool and “B-spline” curves for easier and more flexible creation of curved shapes.
Realistic isualizations Various optimizations in the area of visualization increase the work efficiency and improve the rendering quality. The integrated “CineRender” engine by MAXON now also allows for the use of physical rendering methods to achieve even more realistic results. The presentation quality of the animation window was significantly increased as well.
Efficient task management for interdisciplinary cooperation The Task Board in Allplan Architecture 2017 is directly connected to the open BIM platform, Allplan Bimplus. With Allplan Bimplus, you can collate, view, analyze, and share model data from Allplan and other openBIM solutions. Allplan Bimplus and the Allplan Task Board make it possible for interdisciplinary teams to communicate in real time. Linking specific tasks to objects makes it easier to exchange information and accelerates the coordination process. All the users have an overview of their open tasks at all times.
Quicker data transfer with Workgroup Online The Workgroup Online function of the Allplan Workgroup Manager makes it possible to work together on the Allplan model regardless of your location. In the process, Allplan project data is exchanged via the Internet. A new compression process was introduced to reduce the transfer time for large volumes of data by an average of 75%. In certain cases, even up to 90%. In this way, you can work on your projects online much quicker.
Improved exchange of free-form geometries in BIM projects To succeed in competitions and client presentations, architects must meet the steadily increasing demand for improved 3D visualizations. Allplan Architecture 2016 with its powerful visualization options supports creation of photorealistic renderings for high-quality design imagery directly from Allplan. To enable this, Ambient Occlusion was added to the integrated CineRender from Maxon in Allplan. This function depicts light and shadow – for example in room corners in interior visualizations – particularly realistically.
Convenient modeling and design creation Due to the integrated Parasolid® modeling kernel, a large number of new options are now available. As a result, 3D solids without polygonization can be modified simply and precisely. The system allows the editing of control points, straight or curved edges and the surfaces of 3D elements. The Parasolid-based 3D solids can be converted into user-defined free-form components. These user-defined components can be modified in flexible and simple ways with the usual modifications for 3D solids, such as Boolean operations or point modification. Also the representation in plan view mode can be defined and modified.
Easier handling of the building model With the new filter function for drawing files, the building model is now even easier to handle. You can activate the entire 3D model in an animation window and hide the drawing files that you do not need in the outline. In this way, you can gain an overview of the entire structure in the animation view, without too many components being superimposed on each other during editing and so making everything unclear.
Convenient layout creation with tool palettes With the revised functions for producing views and sections, the generation of layouts is now more convenient and quicker than ever before. Tool palettes allow you to control the representation parameters directly and intuitively. The system updates the derived views and sections automatically after any modifications to the building model. Manually added elements such as dimension lines or texts are retained. In this way, you can ensure that your layouts always match the building model. In addition, the calculation of the sections is up to 50 percent faster.
Extended SmartPart library The existing SmartPart library with parametric objects has been supplemented with predefined ribbon windows. Moreover, there are adjustments and customer wishes have been implemented in the range of existing objects: The “window sill” object is now more flexible and can be modified using handles. The range of door cutouts and the possibilities for fitting roller blinds has also been extended considerably.
Create parametric objects to your individual needs Another option for gaining access to parametric objects is provided with the integrated Allplan Python API programming interface. The generated Python scripts add new functions and objects to Allplan. The PythonParts produced in this way have a separate user interface with properties palettes, handles and individual work flows. They can also be modified later with just a few clicks. In addition to producing parametric objects and variants, you can also automate recurring work steps with this interface.
Optimized workflow with steel profiles To make your orientation easier and to speed up the workflow when working with steel profiles, the Steel Profile library was restructured, updated and supplemented with lacking profiles.
New 3D kernel for free-form solids For the design of sculptural constructions Allplan Architecture 2016 provides you with just the precision you need to create amorphous structures. With the integration of the world’s leading Parasolid® modeling kernel from Siemens PLM Software, you can design your free-form shapes in detail and better integrate them in your design process. The new version therefore provides optimum performance and freedom of design. Increasing accuracy of the 3D model also improves the quality of the design. The modifiability of 3D bodies is made easier because polygons are no longer created. This leads to higher performance and lower data volumes. The display quality in the animation window is also improved.
New Object Navigator for maximum clarity The new Object Navigator provides a compact, clear representation of all components of a virtual building model with targeted visibility control of elements or element groups and easy-to-use modification options for element information. The zoom function allows you to focus quickly on elements or element groups. Depending on the task and perspective on the model, you can restructure elements in the Object Navigator. The result is a significantly improved model and greater design quality.
Realistic visualizations with Ambient Occlusion To succeed in competitions and client presentations, architects must meet the steadily increasing demand for improved 3D visualizations. Allplan Architecture 2016 with its powerful visualization options supports creation of photorealistic renderings for high-quality design imagery directly from Allplan. To enable this, Ambient Occlusion was added to the integrated CineRender from Maxon in Allplan. This function depicts light and shadow – for example in room corners in interior visualizations – particularly realistically.
Visualizations – perfect down to the last detail The optimization of the sketch modes in Allplan Architecture 2016 has also led to improved visualization. Uneven areas are now no longer triangulated, i.e. represented as an arrangement of joined-together triangles and are instead “rounded”.
More flexibility with the White Model function Allplan Architecture 2016 now offers the White Model feature. This function enables the user to deactivate all materials and textures in the rendering process with one click and thus create a white architecture model. This saves time-consuming reworking of the model. The white model makes it easier to focus on the key aspects of the building design and serves to retain creativity for the rest of the planning process.
Optimized workflow with multi-display support The new multi-display support function in Allplan Architecture 2016 allows you to arrange design viewports on several screens. This enables users to position the model you are currently editing on the main screen, while positioning design viewports such as sections, views and animations on other screens. In this way, the multi-display support function can significantly enlarge your workspace. You are free to organize your workspace and able to better adapt Allplan Architecture 2016 to your individual workflow.
New SmartParts: skylight and lift gate In Allplan Architecture 2016, the object modelers “Lift Gate” and “Skylight” have been added to SmartParts. Lift gate is especially designed for use in industrial construction and skylight expands the range of windows and doors available.
Baslık With the Real Time Renderer, you can create a realistic, interactive animation of the building model in just a few seconds. You therefore have immediate visual feedback and can check various views, camera settings and materials. In this way, you can select the best possible scene setup. In the render materials, you can set uneven surfaces (bump maps), reflections or luminous objects and achieve a high level of detail. Exterior renderings look even more realistic, thanks to the new physical sky. With the support of high dynamic range images (HDRI), even large differences in brightness can be reproduced in detail.
Fast creation of professional renderings directly in Allplan Create high-resolution renderings with the help of the extremely powerful CINEMA 4D Render Engine, integrated in Allplan for the first time in this version. The work previously needed to synchronize the models in Allplan and CINEMA 4D is thus no longer necessary. In many cases you will not need to purchase, install and maintain an additional external visualization solution that you will need to familiarize yourself with.
Optimized export to CINEMA 4D If you want to edit your presentation further and give it a really professional finishing touch, the optimized export to CINEMA 4D is the perfect solution for you. You can now export render materials, illumination and camera settings directly from Allplan. The results are convincing and realistic visualizations that are a real eye-catcher in presentations. You can perform visual tasks quickly and easily without external help or additional costs. This gives you a competitive edge that can be the decisive factor in a hard-fought market.
Design and evaluate windows and doors flexibly The management of windows and doors involves a high degree of planning. The solution: Parametric object modelers combine maximum design flexibility with comprehensive and reliable quantity takeoff mechanisms in the form of door and window lists. For Allplan Architecture 2015, we have added the new domed roof-light component. You can use these domed roof-lights in ceiling openings or in roof openings. You place them using palettes and handles. Their correct display in floor plans and evaluation in reports are ensured. With the new component type, it now takes just a fraction of the time previously needed to plan domed roof-lights. In addition, the existing windows and doors were improved in numerous respects: For example, you can now make targeted settings for render materials, e.g. separately for roller blinds and slats. You have new attributes and reports for the subsequent analyses.
Interdisciplinary teamwork – tested and certified he reliable exchange of data with planning partners is a fundamental prerequisite for efficient execution of building projects. As a member of the Open BIM Initiative, ALLPLAN is therefore constantly committed to improving interdisciplinary teamwork. In addition to the certified Allplan IFC 2×3 Coordination View 2.0 export, the import has now been tested and certified in Allplan 2015 through numerous test series. We therefore ensure even more reliable data exchange with other open BIM solutions.
New SmartParts: skylight and lift gate In Allplan Architecture 2016, the object modelers “Lift Gate” and “Skylight” have been added to SmartParts. Lift gate is especially designed for use in industrial construction and skylight expands the range of windows and doors available.
Convenient digital transmission of drawings Allplan Exchange accelerates the formatting and sending of layout data directly from Allplan Architecture 2015 and therefore ensures considerable time and cost savings. With Allplan 2015, Allplan Exchange now has single sign-on with the Allplan Connect and Allplan Campus customer portals. This means that after one-time login, registered users can access all customer portals and web applications. Furthermore, we have made numerous improvements in Allplan Exchange. You can find the right document in just a few clicks thanks to the new filter functions and optimized sort functions. The administration of contacts has been made clearer, and roles and rights are now visible for all employees. Layout index attributes are also displayed in the download area and therefore provide detailed information on revision levels and releases. In the “All Documents” and “My Downloads” areas, you can now group together several files for download in a zip file and download them all in one step.
