Allplan is setting standards in CAD through collaboration, 3D modeling, Cloud and SaaS

Germany/Munich, 12 November 2013 – The claim: The best planning tool for architects
Accuracy, speed and cost-effectiveness are the requirements that architects have to meet.The right software solution enables them to exercise the design flexibility and creativity they need to be successful. Allplan was designed with this in mind: Software that is easy to use, ensures smooth collaboration with planning partners and optimizes work processes.

Location-independent collaboration with Allplan 2014
Thanks to the enhanced workgroup functionality, architects can integrate project partners and employees in their working environment across office and company boundaries as though all were working around the same table on the same design. This means location and time-independent access for virtual teams. No “e-mail ping-pong”, no loss of data – everyone works with the most recent version. Access rights are used to define who has what rights in the respective project. Data encryption ensures additional security.

Faster and easier 3D modeling
Allplan 2014 has a new extrusion function to make work with the 3D modeler even more intuitive. As a result, users can easily move or redraw outlines and extrude this vertically in the next step. This is particularly useful in urban design and for the fast “raising“ and changing of cubic volumes in the design process.

Further steps towards Open BIM, Cloud and SaaS
With Allplan 2014, Serviceplus customers also benefit from bim+ and Nevaris as connected SaaS solutions. The cloud solution bim+ with BIM server and innovative apps also enables the interlinking and visualization of Allplan BIM models on mobile devices. The interface to Nevaris is also new. With web-supported processes and cost control in real time, Nevaris is setting new standards for tender, award and billing.

Conclusion: Project work is easier, faster and more cost-effective. Errors are reduced. “With the Allplan BIM solution, our aim is to make the exchange of data and the collaboration between all those involved in the building process as flexible as possible, in the spirit of Open BIM,” says Dr. Jörg Rahmer, CEO Nemetschek Allplan Systems GmbH.
