TECHNOLOGY GEEK

ased on the latest software technology, Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 2 provides an even wider range of software features. As a competitive alternative to the established and very expensive CAD products on the market, often selling for several thousand Euros for a single user license, Ashampoo 3D CAD only costs a fraction of the price.

Accurate and down-to-earth: the sky is the limit
Design family homes, shopping malls, high-rise buildings or just an apartment within a real 2D/3D environment using all the available tools for planning and visualizing buildings. With its simple usability the software clearly stands out of the crowd while at the same time displaying very exact results.

In addition to features like for example 3D design, ‘intelligent’ components, perfect 2D/3D plans including cross sections and views, virtual reality image export and precise dimensioning, Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 2 offers a variety of brand-new features as well as improvements in usability and workflow management. Some of these changes have been brought about through user suggestions and contributions.

On top of everything, Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 2 now comes with Quantities Plug-in. With this plug-in you can easily keep track of complex projects and develop your personal planning strategy.
Quantities Plug-in: Keep track of things
The Quantities Plug-in displays a digital compilation of data providing room-specific information such as dimensions in 2D/3D view and allows for a deeper evaluation of the planning process according to the German DIN 277 and the ‘Wohnflächenverordnung’ (Residential Space Ordinance). The program generates lists in different formats that can be adjusted to your own design if required. With the Quantities Plug-in transparency of large projects will be enhanced, thus facilitating the planning process while creating a genuine added value for the customers.

The Quantities Plug-in comprises the following features:

* Create lists in different formats like PDF, RTF, EXCEL and HTML to help analyze your planning process. Content and design can be customized via file-export and integrated list-design module
* Display of current surface areas to fully comprehend formulas and countercheck measurements
* Visual check of volume and surface areas in 2D and 3D view
* Calculation results can be displayed individually for each floor, building component and method of calculation by using a tree view

List of brand-new features
Design your own individual surface
With the new Surface design tool for 3D surfaces you are able to create e.g. tiled sections, facade elements, working surfaces and pre-wall installations from different angles, and best of all - it’s as easy as a walk in the park. Additionally, the free input method editor generates any surface for every possible usage.
Creative building planning
From now on users can move, stretch, turn, mirror and copy whole buildings or stories, thus giving them the freedom to finalize their planning process even faster.
Add ‘smooth’ shadows to any light source
Types of light like ambient, point and spot can now be accentuated with ‘smooth’ shadows, thereby creating even more photo-realistic visualizations of 3D CAD models. Interiors appear to be even more authentic and fire the user’s imagination while creating new interiors.
Extended 2D functionality
Make your everyday life easier by using the brand-new 2D functions of Ashampoo’s CAD software, like for example::

* Line trimming
* Parallel copies
* Drawing parallel lines
* Edit points for 2D elements
* Add and delete polygon points
* Scaling of 2D elements
* Trimming of intersecting lines
* Automatic identification of line and polyline intersections with the help of given lines, polylines and reference lines. It is also possible to erase single line segments between intersecting points

Improved planning and construction process
With the new version Ashampoo’s 3D CAD offers data input assistance during planning and construction phase. Specific tools provide support and enable numeric input, wall modification, 3D object rotation during input and height modification.

In addition, all available tools can be activated or deactivated through dedicated keys.
Solar elements now with own catalogue
For on-roof- and in-roof-mounting purposes users can choose between various solar modules and solar panels. It is also possible to switch perspective to top view and enter a value for the offset command.
Take a tour around your virtual building
A walkthrough from an ego perspective enables users to fully explore their CAD projects. Similar to well-known computer games it is possible to change actor speed and keyboard settings.
A wider range of possibilities for kitchen and bathroom design
Let your imagination run wild: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 2 features more than 50 new 3D objects for kitchen and bathroom areas as well as for other areas of the house!
