� Depending on the project phase or type, users can switch back and forth between 2D drafting, 3D design or even use an intelligent building modelas they wish
� Seamless data exchange with more than 50 formats supported, including the standard formats PDF and IFC, as well as DWG, DXF and DGN
Allplan solutionsAllplan Architecture
� Supports architects and planners from the presentation and submission of the draft idea to the working drawing, detailed planning and construction cost planning.
� Integrated system for design, layout and visualization .
� Use of the 3D model across all phases of a building's life cycle – from the architecture, engineering, timber construction, cost management to building services and facility management.

Allplan solutionsAllplan Engineering
� CAD solution for structural concrete design . It enables efficient creation of key plans, general arrangement and reinforcement drawings . Together with Scia Engineer it provides an integrated solution for CAD and structural analysis from a single source.
� End-to-end working from the architectural design to the reinforcement drawings.
� Comprehensive palette of layout and design tools : formwork 2D and 3D – reinforcementwith bars & meshes 2D and 3D – generating bending list – localised for many codes
2727
� Also applications for prefabrication , timber, earthworks (DTM), building services, facility management.
� Reinforcement Design and Detailing in 3D
� ceiling views, elevations, sections, quantities and bending schedules are derived from an intelligent building model
� collisions and other issues can be detected during the design process
� modifications of building objects and reinforcement are automatically and consistently updated in all drawings and schedules
Allplan solutionsComparison of productivity 2D versus 3D
� Traditional Approach
28
� Traditional Approach
� ceiling views, elevations and sections are manually produced and completely independent from each other
� bending schedule is managed manually � risk of inconsistent design documents, especially if
modifications occur
� Benefits
� considerable time savings through optimized work processes
� clear and consistent design documents� improved comfort
� Free, interactive Reinforcement Design and Detailin g in 3D
� software philosophy perfectly suitable for highly individual construction projects
� unique automatic formwork finder technology (FF reinforcement)
� predefined reinforcement groups (FF components)
� reinforcement can be adapted by grips
� enormous efficiency and flexibility compared with other solutions
Individually shaped
Allplan solutionsReinforcement design and detailing in 3D
29
� Traditional Approach
� time-consuming definition of bar shape and manual placement
� Benefits
� from the beginning on high productivity, even for individually shaped members
� working consequently in 3D ensures high quality standards by avoiding inconsistencies, collisions and other design faults
Individually shaped
members can be
reinforced rapidly

� hybrid approach in standard situations with 2D formwork/3D reinforcement, full 3D design and visualizations at complex points
“Despite standardization, about 120 blocks plans and more than 1.000 plans have been produced. This is a huge amount of data, but Allplan dealt with it effortlessly.”
