Like several other BIM software, this BIM platform consists of separate modules designed to perform specific tasks, working with specific parts of a project and disciplines. The main modules consist of architecture, engineering (structures), bridge modules and etc. Unlike other BIM software, the development of models and elements synchronize both 2D and 3D features. Also, a feature of the program, that we will not find in any other BIM solutions, is the use of layers that hold various 2D information (for example, object cross-sections). Allplan has an excellent geometric ‘motor’ that allows you to freely create complex geometric shapes NURBS and Bezier using curves and surfaces. Parametric modeling is also highly developed and allows the creation of separate element libraries using the Smart Parts system or using an API based on the Python programming language. Material and quantity sheets can be configured in detail according to the user’s needs without much hassle. Despite the fact that the software also applies to architecture, most of its special features focus on reinforced concrete structures.
