Smart, easy and FREE to learn
Learn ARCHLine.XP in days or weeks not months or years – and when you’re up and running you’ll also be more productive than with any other BIM/CAD software due to its incredibly smart features that others haven’t even though of.
ARCHLine.XP’s unique methodology leads the BIM world with the most rapid modelling and documentation tools to go from concept to construction without missing a beat.
Training online is free and easy to follow. Choose from video lessons, webinars and step-by-step instructions – And real live human support is always at hand.
Seamless
Work as easily in 3D as you do in 2D, or operate both at the same time. Plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details all work together. Change your design in any view and all your drawings will update to reflect the changes. There is nothing left to chance, even when working with teams on large projects, or multiple buildings on one site, ARCHLine.XP manages the model, the drawings, the files and even the backups.
Work alongside associates still using legacy systems such as AutoCAD, Revit or similar. Support for file exchange between multiple different programs is built-in to ARCHLine.XP

Smart Architecture
ARCHLine.XP understands how architectural objects behave – a Google map becomes a 3D terrain with no effort – Stairs are designed to standard, remain fully controllable and even cut a hole in the floor above – A framed wall knows how to place studs, plates, noggins lintels and even bracing without you doing a thing – A roof is designed and framed in seconds – An entire plan can be dimensioned in two clicks and a complete kitchen can be created in one!
Let ARCHLine.XP do the hard work as you focus on design. Time is money, don’t waste it.
Local libraries – limitless possibilities
Download and use content from the world’s largest libraries, including Revit families, SketchUp components and brand name objects in practically every format available.
Still can’t find what you want?… ARCHLine.XP gives you all the modelling tools to make your own anything! You can even share items with the ARCHLine.XP community.
Expand your horizons and embrace a limitless world.
One-Click, Two-Clicks, Done

ARCHLine.XP, a fundamentally better way to design.
Bring your models to life
Engage your clients in your design, show-off multiple design & material options and do it effortlessly.
Insert lights from the library and see how that illuminates your space at night, or watch as the sun casts its rays across your room or your site. Explore how subtle changes in materials and colour make all the difference to your design. Make changes and witness the update before your eyes.
Use built-in rendering or live-link with real-time render engine D5-Render, or simply export to your favorite renderer such as Lumion, Twin Motion, V-Ray, KeyShot and more. ARCHLine.XP is compatible with every popular rendering software.
Showcase
Stair Master
Click, click and your entire set of stairs is modelled in seconds. Add handrails in a flash. Stairs even creates a stairwell for you! Be the master every step of the way.
Roof Magic
Enjoy best-in-class roof design tools to automatically generate roofing in just a few clicks. Take full control over every roof design no matter how complex. The intelligence to model fast and the finesse to stay in control.
Point Clouds
Capture existing structures with laser or lidar-generated point cloud data then work directly inside the point cloud to generate rooms or buildings in real-world context.
Teamwork
Built-in collaboration tools allow multiple team members to work on the same project at the same time. Perfect for larger projects or remote office environments. Projects can be managed and protected from accidental editing too.
Terrain Modelling
Model any site with any set of height data. Even create a 3D terrain from the address you enter in Google Maps. The Digital Terrain Modelling (DTM) is outstanding and incredibly easy to use.
Parametric Walls
Walls accurately adjust to meet the structural and non structural levels you define. Brickwork will meet footings for example, whilst rendering or cladding can travel past the slab and cover the joint where the wall and slab meet.
File Formats
Import and export just about any BIM/CAD file format to make working alongside associates that use other design software easy.
Interior Designer Tools
ARCHLine.XP leads the way for interior designers by providing dedicated tools that no other software has. From window treatments to tile setouts to automated wall elevations and even mood boards with colour swatches.
Furniture & Cabinet Modules
From soft furnishings to complete kitchen cabinets, ARCHLine.XP can’t be compared. Kitchen, bathroom, wardrobe and interior fit-out professionals buy ARCHLine.XP for these features alone.

What Others Are Saying
“As an Architect, I started working with ArchiCAD 6.0, and later the office switched to Revit. I came across ARCHLine.XP in 2015, and I was quickly convinced… I love it.”
Jakob Judis Architect, Norway
“I’m loving this program… I’ve been plugging away with AutoCAD and then Revit for years…’feels like I’ve finally found my wheels!”
Peter Park B.Arch., Australia
'Having just one comprehensive program for everything we do makes life so much easier to manage'.
G. Watts Design Selection, Australia
'I feel my eyes smile and my heart sing every time I use this program. My only complaint is NZ content out of the box. Had to create some of my own but that was fun.'
N. DeVali, Hastings, New Zealand
“We were facing a lot of wasted time, a complex project took 4 to 5 days with SketchUp and our objective was to reduce that time to 2 days maximum – ARCHLine.XP is completely answering our requirements.”
Mattheiu Pello Project Manager, Kosmo, France
“We replaced our old CAD software (Vectorworks) with Archline.XP and simply get much more done in less time, period.”
Gabrielle Schultz (Interior designer)
“I thought our greatest challenge would be time lost learning new software. We switched to Archline.XP extremely quickly, I think because the designers like using it.”
Bruce Wright (Building Designer)
“Our first job with the program went super well. It definitely contributed to winning the project. Thanks for all your help!”
Rob Ryan (Kitchen Designer), Australia
“We worked with AutoCAD so the transition to ARCHLine.XP was pretty easy because both are similar in the basic understanding. ARCHLine.XP offers you a much easier and customer friendly environment.”
Antonis Kiritsis Architect, Archilab Studio
“I use Revit at Uni and ARCHLineXP where I’m working. Revit sucks in comparison IMO. I’ll get AL when I finish my course and start my own practice.”
Robert McKinley (Student) Ultimo TAFE, Sydney Australia
“I heard good things about ARCHLine but wasn’t 100% certain so I just got the LT version. It’s been brilliant but want to upgrade to Pro next month. The automated schedules and terrain tools will save me even more time. I also want the advanced render tools as I’ve got bigger projects now.”
Ryan Adams Design Intent, Australia
