Let’s start with a specific example: You get a scanned, hand-drawn floor plan from the customer and you have to use this to design the living room. In a better case you get the drawing in DWG, which is easier to work with. First, you import the floor plan as a raster image, and then set the correct scale based on a known length. This is where planning begins.

You set the parameters of the wall and place them according to the drawing. The first wall will be immediately visible in the 3D window. Now comes the most spectacular part: using the room wizard.

3D Warehouse ™ is a free library of objects, which means that 3D models published on the web can be downloaded and used freely by anyone. 3D Warehouse models make it easy to design beautifully furnished interiors. The selected model loads directly into the ARCHLine.XP project and can be placed immediately. It can also be used later because it is automatically saved to the library.

With ARCHLine.XP’s unique tiling tools, you can precisely design the tiling of walls, floors and other surfaces.

The use of tiling styles (patterns) simplifies tiling a bathroom with a single click. If you want to try a different style, you can re-tile the whole room with one click or try the effect of another style on just one wall.

Mosaic tiles can be made using four different tiles. Built-in patterns include Herringbone, Chevron, Hexagon, Alhambra, Fly and Triangle tiles.

With the help of detailed Excel quantity lists, time-consuming price calculations can be done quickly and accurately.
