ARCHLine.XP, a fundamentally better way to design.

 

Faster to use and easier to learn

You can 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.

ARCHLine.XP’s unique methodology provides the industry’s most rapid modelling and documentation tools that let you 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 unlike other major software, 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 can update to reflect the changes. There is nothing left to chance, even when working with teams on larger projects, or multiple buildings on one site, ARCHLine.XP manages the model, the drawings, the files and even the backups.

Using ARCHLine.XP you can work well with your associates who may be using older technology systems such as AutoCAD or similar systems such as Revit.

Quite literally, ARCHLine.XP is a fundamentally better way to design.

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. Use the built-in rendering engine or link to ARCHLine’s very own ‘LIVE’ rendering add-on that leverages gaming technology to render and animate in real-time.

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.

Prefer to work with Lumion?.. you can do that too, ARCHLine.XP is compatible with every popular rendering tool as well as its own.

Unique features users love

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 Wizardry

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 Cloud Magic

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.

What license options are available?

ARCHLine-XP is available as a Perpetual license that is yours to keep forever, or as a renewable Subscription license.

Perpetual vs. Subscription Licensing Explained – CAD International

With both license types you can add the ability to share your license with as many users as you like (not at the same time) by purchasing the Floating License option.

 

Will it run on my Mac?

Officially Mac machines are not supported by the makers of ARCHLine.XP so if something doesn't work as expected you are 'on your own' in terms of support. The software is designed to run on MS Windows.

Unofficially: If you have an older Intel based Mac machine you can use Apple's Bootcamp to boot-up into MS Windows. If you have a more recent M1, M2 or M3 based Mac machine you must use 'Parallels' to install MS Windows. No testing has been conducted.

PRO or LT?

ARCHLine-XP LT is a reduced version designed for the more casual user that doesn’t need all the features of PRO. You can purchase LT and upgrade to PRO later if you are unsure which one fits your needs.

The following features are only available in the PRO version.

 

  • Google Maps – Model your building in direct relation to its true location in Google Maps and extract 3D terrain data from Google.
  • 3D Site modelling – Model and edit 3D terrain data from contours or spot levels and design in context to the 3D terrain.
  • Schedules – Create ‘intelligent’ automated window, door and equipment schedules linked to the 3D model that can update as the model changes.
  • Point-clouds – Work with point clouds generated by laser or other scanner devices so you can accurately model in relation to real world existing buildings.
  • Room survey tools – Convert measurements of rooms taken on site into actual 3D rooms in ARCHLine.XP with walls and doors etc. in a few clicks.
  • MEP – Intelligent tools to generate pipework, electrical works and ducts/HVAC in full 3D and in context with your BIM model (Additional cost item for Pro only)
  • Lighting – Create lighting plans with ‘real’ light objects not just symbols and lines. Lights ‘connect’ to switched and also cast light when rendering.
  • Object libraries. Save hours of modelling by downloading BIM models already created by others. From furniture to appliances to doors and windows to electrical accessories and structure’s.
  • 3D shapes – Concept modelling or simple object building can be done using primitive 3D solids.
  • Kitchen and Bathroom – ARCHLine.XP Pro has one of the most extensive tool sets of any software for kitchen bathroom and cabinet design, and manufacture.
  • Room maker – Powerful tool for interior designers to focus on a single room and work their way around to each wall to apply windows doors trims and finishes super fast.
  • Brand/manufacturer interior design tools.
  • Window treatments – Dress your interiors with with curtains, blinds and more.
  • Tiling, – ARCHLine.XP Pro has the most useful and powerful set of tile tools in any CAD software. If you need to show tile details in your design without using hatching or line by line drafting you will need Pro.
  • Mood boards' – Work just as you do in the real world but with electronic mood boards linked to your 3d model. Swap colours schemes using your mood boards. Great for client presentations.
  • Colour temperature – Lighting and rendering can have the colour temperature altered with slide controls for the perfect render.
  • Compare drawings – Lets you visually compare drawings of the same project to see changes between two designs or revisions, highlighting the differences.
  • Linked Labels/callouts – View labels in the 2D drawing link directly to their specific view in the 3D model and allow different levels of detail (LOD) to be assigned to the drawing.
  • Print queues to manage multiple print jobs unattended. The LT version requires each sheet to be selected and printed one at a time.
  • 360 degree panorama – Pro creates ‘look-around-rendering’ that lets you and your client virtually be there and look around from any standpoint.
  • Render effects – Use effects such as atmosphere and depth of field to dramatically enhance your 3D photo realistic rendering.
  • Photo Match – Lets you use photos of the real world in your 3D scenes

Can I work with Revit files and libraries?

Yes, ARCHLine-XP Pro supports the import and use of Revit® .RVT and .RFA (Revit Family) files. .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 can use in ARCHLine-XP Pro. Connect to libraries such as Cadenas® and BIMobject® – import actual objects with their BIM parameters directly into your ARCHLine-XP Pro model.

How do I get upgrades?

When you purchase a perpetual license you will be given the latest version. You can choose to upgrade to newer versions as they are released (approximately once per year). Those who are on a subscription license have the upgrades included in the price.

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 that it is an easy to learn, full-fledged CAD-BIM program. 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

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 particular needs and 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 loved using it.”
Bruce McKay (Building Designer)

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, Greece

“I’m learning Revit at TAFE. I wish they taught this though, it’s sooo much easier. I’m convinced to get Archline when I finish my course and start my own practice”
Robert McKinley (Design Student) Ultimo TAFE, Australia

“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), Sydney, Australia
