ARC+XI: Transforming Architectural Design

The rendering kernel handles import, mesh data, optimizations, and rasterizations, and offers two drawing methods in both 2D and 3D. Drawing in 3D automatically creates the 2D drawing file. ARC+ includes commands for walls, openings, roofs, stairs, slabs, 3D objects, and collections of elements and models that are ready to use. Placed objects (Xref) and multi-document modes are supported, and there are several commands for 3D and 2D modeling. ARC+ is fully compliant with BIM 2x3 and 4 standards.

Functionalities include 2D CAD tools such as arc, polyline, circle, pattern, dimensions, help lines, text, layout, and printing, as well as 3D CAD tools for surface, simple and complex solid modeling, surface modeling, 2D-3D boolean operations, split solid, sect solids, and 2D file generation starting from a 3D model. ARC+ also offers 2D-3D architecture commands for walls, stairs, slabs, roofs, objects, terrain modeling, and surface calculation.

In addition, ARC+ provides a 3D render function with a double path tracer using iRay Nvidia-based technology, background and perspective-parallel projection camera, VR 360°, physics materials, GPU calculation (OpenCL)-CPU, and image creation, video, and VR capabilities. The software features two engines: a real-time high-performance engine (UR5.2) and a high-quality path tracer (Radeon Pro) that provide optimal quality and performance for static images, animations, VR, and navigation.
