We are able to calculate individual stairs and ramps, the materiality of which can be changed at any timeĪn intelligent prioritization of building elements, that brings together wall, ceiling and roof elements appropriately, in sectional viewsĪ good number of very useful door and window elements including special shapes that can be individually adapted without much effortĪ well-stocked and well-organized object library The automated roof tool, which is easy to use, can be individually adapted and, thanks to the appropriate pre-defined roof shapes, saves a lot of time and effortĪn intelligent stair tool that is operated from pre-defined shapes, and can also be built up from 2D lines.

The real strengths of ARCHLine.XP, compared to the 2 market leaders are: Working with both 3D and 2D tools is always quick and easy to do, which is made more effective by appropriate, logical keyboard shortcuts. The user interface is clear and easy to understand thanks to easy-to-understand icons. After that, it was only a small step to convert to ARCHLineXP.Īn example for a typical project that I am doing Out of curiosity, I started to experiment with ARCHLineXP and after a short time I was firmly convinced that this is an easy-to-learn, full-fledged CAD-BIM program that is in no way inferior to the aforementioned large BIM programs. My employer at the time was in the process of incorporating the program into its own calculation program. About the time when I switched again, I came across ARCHline.XP15. I started my work as an architect with ArchiCAD 6.0, later switched to REVIT for office reasons and then we went back to ArchiCAD14. Learn why he decided to leave his well-known BIM tools behind, and looked for something, which suited his purposes better. An interview with architect Jakob Judis Sellesbakk from Norway.
