The ARCHLine.XPerience
ARCHLine.XP® users are passionate about design and appreciate what the software enables them to achieve. They are designers who express their creative intent and happily embrace technology to help them convey ideas and streamline the everyday documentation process.
“Loving this program… I’ve been plugging away with AutoCAD for years then Revit. …feels like I’ve finally found wheels for my bike!”, Peter Peck B.Arch.

Transform your design expertise into reality. Build real-world livable spaces without the restrictions of old-world CAD software. If you’ve used products like ArchiCAD or Revit before then experiencing ARCHLine.XP will be an easy step up, as it combines the best of both and brings unique time saving abilities of its own. If you use AutoCAD or Vectorworks then be prepared for a significant productivity improvement. SketchUp users also love ARCHLine.XP to do the work that SketchUp just wasn’t designed to do.
Test it out for yourself – Risk free, obligation free. For less than a cup of coffee a day get the software, unlimited support and expert training for 6 months. At the end of the trial period you’ll be better informed to know if ARCHLine.XP is right for you and your business and you’ll be able to make an informed decision to purchase, rent or go back to your current methods. Start your trial.
It’s about productivity.
ARCHLine.XP is unrivaled in its ability to streamline the entire design process for professionals of the built environment – No other BIM or CAD software lets you make changes to a design so rapidly and with such efficiency. Every minute you’re using ARCHLine.XP is time saved and money earned in your business.
“We replaced our old CAD software with ARCHLine.xp and simply get more done in less time, period”, Gabrielle Schultz B.Arch.

ARCHLine.XP builds intelligent, parametric models from which all drawings and information are extracted. It updates this information as changes are made to the design throughout the life of the project.
More than just lines on a page, ARCHLine.XP models are created with 3D building elements that behave and interact with each other in a logical and predictable manner. Walls understand how to interact with floors and roofs for instance, thus making changes to one element will intelligently update connected elements but giving you complete control over the process.
Those familiar with traditional CAD can use many of the same techniques without having to completely relearn. Models can also be manipulated in 3D space more easily than rival products, making the design process more intuitive and less technical.
The model as a whole conforms to industry compliant BIM (Building Information Modelling) rules and allows direct collaboration with co-designers and building authorities using practically any other BIM or CAD software to almost eradicate redrawing of anything. A huge time saver.
When compared with any other system, ARCHLine.XP provides a more efficient method of modelling and document creation, period.
Compatibility assurance
Use ARCHLine.XP on its own or interact with your associates, either within your company or externally to maintain the flow of the entire design process. Directly utilise survey, structural, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and mechanical services 2D drawings or 3D models from whichever software they use, and export to just about anyone. After all, ARCHLine.XP has more compatibility with other BIM, CAD and ArchViz software than any other.
“Being able to share files using standard CAD and BIM formats is paramount for us. We often use Revit, SketchUp and AutoCAD files directly which saves us a lot of time”,

ARCHLine.XP communicates with other BIM / CAD products by using industry standard IFC, DWG™, and RVT™ formats. ARCHLine.XP is BuildingSmart™-Certified.
Be sure your company is included in distributed team projects and avoid being left out of major projects. ARCHLine.XP provides independence from but close collaboration with other major BIM/CAD products so you can stay in the design collaboration loop.
ARCHLine.XP supports the widest array of export formats for rendering and presentation including Lumion, 3D Max, Artlantis, Cinema 4D, Maya and more.
“Very excited to start my first real job with the program. I’m very grateful I don’t have to commit to a huge cost or learning curve too.”

Trial the software for 30 days with support. This is called the ‘Starter Pack’. If you decide to go ahead and buy your own permanent license within that time you’ll get your Starter Pack money back as a discount.
Our experience shows us that about 90% of all those that trial the software, buy the software. You’ll be making the most informed decision on the most important tool in any designers arsenal. Even if you don’t buy, you’ll be that much better informed.
Storey Wise
Link your building elements to defined floor levels and If the floor levels are changed then the entire building and its associated drawings will update without you having to do a thing!
This tool allows items on a floor to inherit predefined base elevation and height values. Simply move or copy elements to other floors and the placed elements inherit the features of the floor.
Visual Control
ARCHLineXP’s layer system is familiar to most and easily understood. Combed with categories (such as the purpose of your building parts) you total control over what shows up on your drawings and how they appear in different drawing types.
Walls to be demolished for instance may appear dashed and red in one view but solid and hatched in another. the choice is yours.
Turn 2D to 3D
Wall Wizardry
Niches, holes and even unusual shaped penetrations are fully catered for. Be as creative as you need to be.

Can I use ARCHLine.XP on a Mac?
Yes. Apple’s Bootcamp (supplied free with your Mac) lets you run ARCHLine.XP on your Mac when you ‘boot-up’ into Windows. This means you get direct access to all Windows based programs not available on Mac as well as your favorite Mac ones, cool!
We are happy to help get Windows on your Mac if you need assistance. We also recommend investing in a quality mouse with a scroll wheel on top as Apple’s Magic Mouse is difficult to use with any CAD software.
Can I work with Revit files and libraries?
.RFA objects carry BIM parameters for the object, so you’ll be working with intelligent building components, not just simple CAD blocks. Most manufacturers provide downloadable ‘BIM’ models in Revit® format which you will use in ARCHLine.XP.
Connect to libraries such as Cadenas® and BIMobject® – import actual objects with their BIM parameters directly into your ARCHLine.XP model.
Can I use SketchUp files?
How can I upgrade my ARCHLine.XP license?
Simply contact the team using the contact form and you’ll be given a link to directly upgrade your software to the latest version or from the LT to the Pro version. Easy.
