With your needs in mind and in response to the challenges of your profession, ArchiTECH.PC 6 has new functions you’ve been waiting for.

Simpler, faster, and more intuitive, ArchiTECH.PC 6 increases the value of your work more than ever. The time you gain from the increased efficiency can be spent using the rest of the functions: 3D editor, list creation, Bill of Materials, TCC...

Some of the new functions :

- New user interface : a reworked graphic look to the main functions, tools and dialogue boxes, to make them more easily understandable.
- Prototypes : new tab, in which the recurring types of elements (PPL files) can be saved in hierarchical tree structure.
- Stair generator : this tool makes it possible to create custom stairs by indicating the walking line and the outline that encloses the stair.
- Roof : roof intersecting at three points, with an independently supplied reference line, or covering, with section according to the angle supplied.
- Truss editor : automated allocation of roof structural elements, for which parameters can be set (rafters, purlins...).
- Ghost floors : makes the floors above and below the current floor visible.
- Marking of floors : the names and serial numbers of the floors appear in the heading
- Editing in 3D : design tools are now also available in the 3D view, and there is mutual interactivity between 2D and 3D views.
- Teamwork version : work on one project at several work locations, on a local network (intranet) or internet..
- New section point recognition : automatic recognition of section points without using reference points. Each occurrence is examined: line/line section, line/circle, line/edge, etc.

* Expected release date early 2009.
