progeCAD Architecture 2014

progeCAD Architecture 2014 is a 3D & 2D Architectural software using DWG as its native file format. Very intuitive, its powerful BIM technology helps you to draw faster and easier in 3D & 2D.

Easy use for AutoCAD or progeCAD users and 100% DWG compatible

IFC 2x3 Full compatible: share your projects with other BIM software like Autodesk Revit®, AchiCAD®, Allplan® etc.

Either in 3D or 2D view, progeCAD Architecture provides you with intelligent and parametric objects libraries to draw your buildings, houses or interiors : walls, windows, doors, stairs, balconies, roofs… You just have to pick a shape and modify its dimensions.

Editing you 3D project is as easy as a double-click on the element which dimensions you want to modify and/or drag and drop the element to change its position.

• EASY 3D with intelligent and parametric objects
• AutoCAD®-friendly: Same format, similar look and feel
• 2 SOFTWARE IN 1: Our architectural software also includes all the standard CAD environment and features therefore you can also use it for any CAD drawing and also the powerful BIM approach.
• Very easy and fast 3D Design with intelligent parametric objects and extensive libraries. You just pick the shape and enter its dimensions.
• Create 3D stairs and roofs in a few clicks
• Get automatically all the 2D drawings and views from the 3D model : floor plans, elevations, perspective views, cross sections… and keep them updated in real-time !
• Low-cost yet powerful!

Very easy to learn even for non-designers
Also reknown to be an exceptional low-cost alternative to Revit or ArchiCAD, progeCAD Architecture is much faster and intuitive to learn.

progeCAD Architecture Strong points:

UNRIVALED PRODUCTIVITY : With progeCAD Architecture you draw in 3D even faster and easier than in 2D with traditional CAD software and save a lot of time when modifying. Besides you can extract all the 2D DWG drawings and the software will update them automatically when you modify the 3D project !
• DWG compatibility combined with the innovative BIM approach (Building Information Modeling)
• Advanced BIM structure to continuously update the project drawings (sections, views, perspectives, etc) while keeping anyinterventions made by the user (insertion of library items, text, annotation, etc).
• Similar approach to Revit® or Archicad®
• Projects interchange with BIM software through IFC files.
• Project drawings smart explorer (tree-view browser of the drawings).
• Faster rendering performances based on OpenGL, as well as real time virtual walk through of the rendered model.
• Enhanced roof modeler with unlimited options to design any type of roof structure and add components such as attics, lofts, skylights, inclined openings and many others.
• Intelligent design to create even more building entities (i.e. chimneys, pergolas and others).
• Significant improvements regarding architectural design refinements (i.e. smart automatic unions between building objects only if necessary, optional hiding of the wall/slab lines on the views or sections, object definition through polylines in every dialog, etc), as well as the topographical design (fully automatic creation of triangles to create the ground model).
• Unrivaled performance due to the brand new high speed IntelliCAD v.6.6 engine.
• Other new enhancements include: new interface, properties panel, polar tracking, and many others.
• Blocks libraries 2D and 3D
• And More: automatic dimensioning, 3D furnitures libraries and walkthrough videos, bill of materials, 3D ground generation and excavation…
