Architect   Features   Architect works the way you do Architect allows you the freedom to 'sketch' the plans with no need to adhere to rigid dimensional constraints. You can 'sketch' walls in freehand, then shuffle them into alignment with each other, boundaries or set-out lines. Simple schematic walls can be quickly and selectively changed as you make decisions about construction. Insert openings and move them about-all with consummate ease while the system does the hack work. Junctions are retained, openings healed and re-cut, and hatching regenerated throughout the most radical of operations while constantly maintaining the result of the drawings. Even at an advanced stage in the documentation process, you can make changes comfortable in the knowledge that the effects are easily seen. Complicated tasks such as creating Roofs are automated making your job even easier. Simply select the exterior wall and Architect will do the rest. All automated functions are editable giving you maximum control and flexibility.   Impressive Visualisation The same Model which provides your working Drawings can worked on and presented in a variety of Hidden Line and Rendered images. At any time during the modelling process, various standard projections and user-defined perspective views can be quickly generated as wire-frame or full-colour rendered and shaded images. Architect's own photo-realistic raytrace rendering allows you to define and place lights, assign materials and textures to your Walls, Roofs and to any surfaces on the fly and visualise your final design. Shadows and Sun Studies can be calculated at any time of day for anywhere in the world and plotted to form part of your planning submission.   Smart and Intuitive Extremely smart software is useless if no one can use it. The Architect development team is very aware of the need to provide you with intuitive visual tools to make learning easy and fun. A novice can be productive on basic tasks in your office in just a few hours, while the expert will continue to discover and unleash Architect's almost endless possibilities   General | Live Drawings | Gallery
