Ashampoo® 3D CAD Architecture 2

List of brand-new features

Design your own individual surface

With the new Surface design tool for 3D surfaces you are able to create e.g. tiled sections, facade elements, working surfaces and pre-wall installations from different angles, and best of all - it's as easy as a walk in the park. Additionally, the free input method editor generates any surface for every possible usage.

Creative building planning

From now on users can move, stretch, turn, mirror and copy whole buildings or stories, thus giving them the freedom to finalize their planning process even faster.

Add ‘smooth' shadows to any light source

Types of light like ambient, point and spot can now be accentuated with ‘smooth' shadows, thereby creating even more photo-realistic visualizations of 3D CAD models. Interiors appear to be even more authentic and fire the user's imagination while creating new interiors.

Extended 2D functionality

Line trimming
Parallel copies
Drawing parallel lines
Edit points for 2D elements
Add and delete polygon points
Scaling of 2D elements
Trimming of intersecting lines
Automatic identification of line and polyline intersections with the help of given lines, polylines and reference lines. It is also possible to erase single line segments between intersecting points

Improved planning and construction process

With the new version Ashampoo's 3D CAD offers data input assistance during planning and construction phase. Specific tools provide support and enable numeric input, wall modification, 3D object rotation during input and height modification.

In addition, all available tools can be activated or deactivated through dedicated keys.

Solar elements now with own catalogue

For on-roof- and in-roof-mounting purposes users can choose between various solar modules and solar panels. It is also possible to switch perspective to top view and enter a value for the offset command.
