Booster update for ELITECAD Architecture 17

The R3 update now makes ELITECAD Architecture 17 the performance champion with the best display. This is made possible by optimising the display in 3D work mode automatically in the background. To put it simply: if you need the performance in CAD for dynamic movements such as rotating or zooming, we quickly adjust the 3D details such as shadows or grass in the model so that the maximum computer performance is maintained. Only then will the image be created in full quality or as individually set by you. Of course, this only affects active work on the model, but not walking mode or the creation of videos and camera paths – the best graphics quality is maintained at all times, ensuring the best possible experience!

As planning professionals, we don't have to explain to you that convincing visualisation inspires the imagination and contributes to greater decision-making certainty. But how much effort should you put into visualisation while the next tasks and projects are already waiting? We say as much as necessary and as little as possible.

ELITECAD Architecture has long supported you with practical functions such as real-time visualisation, walking mode and interactive VR, without you having to leave our planning software or needing additional programs. Version 17 added flexible video formats generated directly from the model and impressive light source management. And now there's another highlight with the free update: the new texture import manager.

Our new integrations allow you to access high-quality manufacturer textures directly from ELITECAD – commercially available and free of charge. We have created links to ambientCG, Poly Haven and mtextur to quickly and easily bring realistic materials into the model for convincing variants. We are particularly pleased about the cooperation with mtextur, the best texture manufacturer in Europe in our opinion.

From the initial idea to precise cost analysis and AVA, our software solutions accompany you in your personal day-to-day planning. ELITECAD Architecture 17 is your powerful tool for every type of architecture and construction project – with sophisticated functions that enable maximum planning freedom and sustainable implementation without additional effort. Need a cherry on top? ELITECAD is still available as a purchase version and not just as an expensive subscription model.

Do you need costs, quantities and budgets? No problem. ELITECAD includes evaluations and reports such as various graphical mass calculations, GWP analyses and the building resource passport. For precise cost planning, BIM2COST (for Switzerland) and our AVA partner product California (for Germany & Austria) are also available as two powerful, independent tools. Whether from ELITECAD or other openBIM-capable systems, your models can be easily imported into these solutions.

Want more details but don't feel like doing a lot of research yourself? Let us show you in a personal consultation how seamlessly our own and partner systems work together - and how much freedom you can enjoy with ELITECAD. We look forward to answering all your questions and showing you the undeniable added value for your projects without obligation!
