What's new in ELITECAD Architecture 16?
Expect more - Aesthetics & functionality
ELITECAD Architecture 16 impresses with the most modern and clear design. Choose freely between Dark Mode or one of the 7 new interface styles, enjoy the optimal scaling of your planning tools and benefit from even more intuitive workflows thanks to the complete revision of the user interface.
Expect more - Freedom of design
Our aim is to achieve results with as few and simple steps as possible. Numerous improvements like the revised parametric door generator or the new floors/slabs with automatic gradient via point input, relieve you of complex construction tasks and thus create more time for the essentials.
Expect more - documentation aids
In ELITECAD Architecture 16, the BIM models are not only more intelligent, 2D data is also created even faster and, on top of that, even looks much nicer. Parametric room labels in sections, automatic height views and extensively expanded attribute visualisation are just some of the highlights of version 16.
Expect more - Collaboration & teamwork
Many new and revised interfaces guarantee smooth data exchange with project partners. From the new native PDF export, the 3D print interface, IFC library part management to DXF batch export and 1-click model updates for Twinmotion and Lumion, there are numerous innovations.
Expect more - Clarity
With version 16, you can now manage not only standard-dependent global, but also optionally project- and region-related master data and thus receive early information about compliance with or exceedance of official limit values and specifications, such as the maximum area to be built on or the height of the construction project.
Expect more - impressions and emotions
Appealing graphic output in all phases of planning? Why not if it doesn't mean more effort. With more than 700 impressive new visualisation materials and many optimizations in material management, impressive 3D model visualisations are created without any additional effort.
Completely revised user interface and new interactive Help Center
The science of beauty combined with the highest object functionality and standard-compliant implementation always accompanies planners in their everyday work. The interplay of aesthetics and functionality is also a central theme in software development, to which particular attention has been paid in the new version. ELITECAD Architecture 16 impresses with the most modern and clear design. In addition, the new user interface is highly adaptable to individual preferences and the end devices used.

Most efficient architectural BIM planning
Individual design has become an indispensable part of modern architectural work. In order to offer you even more design freedom, we have improved and revised many tools for efficent building modelling. Numerous automations, such as floors/slabs with automatic gradient via point input, relieve you of complex construction tasks and thus create more time for the essentials.
Of course, with ELITECAD, functional extensions always go hand in hand with simple operation. Our aim is to achieve results with as few and simple steps as possible. We make it difficult for ourselves to make it easy for you. Numerous optimisations, also for existing functions, make work easier in many areas. For example, architecture objects have been standardised to ensure a better overview.

Plan generation and documentation
The simple derivation of 2D plans based on BIM models has been a great strength of ELITECAD for many years. Our users appreciate the plan-model link, which reduces a lot of manual work in day-to-day business. In ELITECAD Architecture 16, the BIM models are not only more intelligent, 2D data is also created even faster and, on top of that, even looks much nicer. Based on the feedback from our users, we have significantly improved and expanded many features of version 15. Intelligent plan labeling using new attribute labels, parametric room labeling in sections and a comprehensively expanded attribute visualisation with transparency and value ranges are just some of the highlights of version 16 that make creating and preparing 2D submission data a real pleasure.

Connectivity, interfaces and modules
Our ambition for perfect quality does not end with ELITECAD itself. We also want to optimally pass on data to external partners and programs. The new PDF export impresses with its higher quality and smaller file sizes. Synchronise the model with external visualisation tools or export hundreds of DXF views including attribute colors with just one click thanks to the new DXF batch export. From virtual model to reality with the new interface for 3D printing. Your customers will be amazed when they can disassemble a printed building storey by storey.
