ALLPLAN BIM design software has long been a cornerstone in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, providing robust software solutions designed to meet the complex demands of modern projects. With the release of ALLPLAN 2024, the bar has been set even higher, particularly for professionals in the Building Design, Infrastructure Design and Construction Site Planning segments. Below, we explore the innovative features of ALLPLAN 2024 for Building Design that promise to redefine how building projects are designed and executed.
Accelerating Design to Build
The ALLPLAN 2024 release has the primary goal of: accelerating the design to build process. This new version aims to supercharge productivity, offering a suite of powerful and automated design tools, integrated cloud-based processes, and cutting-edge BIM workflows. Essentially, ALLPLAN 2024 provides more freedom to spend time on what matters most – designing exemplary architecture, engineering effective solutions, and constructing a superior built environment.
Key Features in ALLPLAN 2024 for Building Design
ALLPLAN 2024 architecture 3d modeling software delivers benefits in three key pillars: increased productivity, smoother collaboration, and superior design quality. By fulfilling these benefits through the following features, this new version sets a precedent for what AEC professionals can achieve within tight schedules and high-stake projects.
GIS Connector
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a pivotal role in almost all AEC projects. The new GIS Connector tool in ALLPLAN 2024 enables the seamless integration of terrain data, buildings, and street contours into designs so every situation can be planned for - early on in the project. Cloud-powered and driven by 3DCityLoader services, this tool provides access to various open GIS platforms and sources, enabling you to place your structures in context effortlessly.
Content Connector
Finding the right content, be it 3D assets or external materials, often becomes a time-consuming task for architects and multi-disciplinary consultants. ALLPLAN 2024 introduces the Content Connector, a web-based workflow that automates the import and creation of customized content. It supports two external providers, mtextur (for surface and texture assets) and 3D Warehouse (for more generic 3D objects). With this new tool, content-related tasks are significantly accelerated.
Boosted Support for Steel
The integration of the powerful SDS2 steel connection engine represents another milestone for ALLPLAN 2024. This feature enables more efficient modeling of standardized steel connections, incorporating checks to ensure fabricability and buildability from the early stages of the design phase. The nodal approach and data model ensure universal compatibility with connection modeling and design solutions, helping ensure that project bids are accurate.
Improved Clash Detection
In an industry where error-free designs are non-negotiable, clash detection is indispensable. ALLPLAN 2024 introduces seamless, end-to-end clash detection within a single software environment. By categorizing and color-coding collision types – Hard Clash, Soft Clash, Workflow Clash, and No Clash – the software provides an easy-to-use overview for quick, clear, and efficient collision checking and identification.
Updated Precast Concrete Tools
The often-laborious task of managing fixtures for precast designers gets a significant revamp in ALLPLAN 2024. As every precast element requires specific fixtures, the updated tools simplify the administrative aspects and introduce improved options for relocating fixtures and changing handles. Added to this are better coordinated workflows and a clearer user interface. These enhancements not only save time in planning, procurement, and production, but also offer greater performance in precast planning and detailing.
Productive, collaborative and advanced workflows
ALLPLAN 2024 is more than just a software update; it's a transformative tool designed to support the entire building design process. With key features aimed at increasing productivity, enhancing collaboration, and delivering superior design quality, ALLPLAN 2024 is set to become an indispensable tool for designing and constructing buildings.
