ALLPLAN 2023

ALLPLAN 2023 (10/12/2022)
Your AEC platform to Design and Build together

The Multi-Material Solution for ultimate Buildability

ALLPLAN 2023 is the connecting platform for interdisciplinary collaboration between architects, engineers, precast plants and construction companies that delivers numerous innovations and improvements. As a multi-material solution, ALLPLAN covers everything from masonry, cast-in-place concrete to steel and timber construction and - for the first time - precast concrete. The ability to coordinate different materials and construction methods in one common model enables architects to better consider the economical and sustainable use of building materials, earlier, and in accordance with environmental requirements. Engineers and construction companies can build directly on the architects' design and use it as the basis for structural analysis and detailing, MEP engineering, prefabrication and construction. ALLPLAN supports workflows across the entire process from the initial idea to the completed project, enabling time, cost, and material savings.

  • You can now also display areas as an independent surface for veneers.

Using the Properties palette for modifications 

  • Geometry, parapet, reveal, stop, opening object and attributes of corner window openings.
  • Geometry, parapet, opening object and type of niches and recesses and polygonal niches and recesses.
  • Geometry, opening object and type of ceiling openings and recesses.

Attributes

  • In reports, label styles and attributes, the formulas are now detached from the individual language.
  • Imported attributes are now organized in individual attribute groups.
  • You can now configure property set templates in ALLPLAN directly in the project settings.
  • New dialog for defining user attributes.

Structural framing

  • Connection of structural framing beams and braces to lines and edges.
  • Free angle input to define the inclination of the cross-section at the beginning and end of the structural framing objects.

Views and Sections

  • When you create and modify, the dimensioning adapts automatically.
  • Parameters for defining the position and spacing of the label. 
  • New options in text parameters for labeling heading and scale.
  • You can create views also via a plane or freely.
  • Multimodification for the 'Remove/Add elements' tool.
  • Multimodification for the 'Show Clipping Path’ tool. 
  • For each view/ section, you can now individually configure the representation of fixtures as a wireframe model.
  • Match properties, manage favorites, and reset to default settings in the representation's sub-palettes.
  • Improved edit tools.
  • Option for passive representation of basic reinforcement in precast elements.

Reinforcement

  • Reinforcement views has been replaced by views and sections.
  • Tools 'Extrude Bars Along Path' and 'Sweep Bars Along Path' available for PythonPart development.
  • 'Join bars' also possible for polygonal placements.
  • Switzerland: Reinforcing steel processing guideline.
  • U.S.: New default settings.
  • U.S.: End processing abbreviations for sleeves and threads.
  • U.S.: Modification of the user-defined parameters of sleeves and threads.
  • U.S.: For rearranging marks, you can optionally take the 'Rebar Prefix' attribute into account.
  • U.S.: Data generation during 'Export aSa' in the new *.rdx format.
  • U.S.: 'Export aSa' and 'Export Soule' of multiple drawing files possible.
  • U.S.: Release Manager
  • Automatic reinforcement: Beam reinforcement for multi-span beams possible.
  • Automatic reinforcement: Mesh reinforcement and spacers for walls.
  • Automatic reinforcement: Multi-section stirrup reinforcement for columns.
  • Automatic reinforcement: Create multiple walls or columns in one step.
  • Automatic reinforcement: General improvement of assigning layers and creating sections.
