Allplan 2018 — !full!
Allplan 2018 was a significant release that shifted the software from a "lone superstar" to a collaborative "team player," primarily through improved BIM integration and a modernized user interface Key Features & Enhancements Modernized Interface (Actionbar):
- User Roles: Allplan 2018 introduced granular permission settings. A junior draftsperson could be locked out of "Numeric Parameter" menus but allowed to draw lines.
- Versioning: The "Project History" feature allowed administrators to roll back to any save state in the last 30 days—a lifesaver when a junior engineer deleted a foundation slab accidentally.
- Network Licensing: The licensing server was rewritten to handle roaming profiles better, allowing engineers to dock laptops at home and borrow licenses for 14 days (a huge deal for field engineers).
- Use the Allplan 2018 help documentation: The help documentation is an exhaustive resource that covers all aspects of the software.
- Watch tutorials: Watch video tutorials and online courses to learn new skills.
- Use keyboard shortcuts: Learn keyboard shortcuts to improve your productivity.
- Use the Allplan 2018 community: Join the Allplan 2018 community to connect with other users, ask questions, and share knowledge.
- Smart Symbol Technology: Allplan 2018 refined its library of smart symbols. These objects (like doors and windows) automatically adapt to the wall thickness and material, allowing for rapid design iteration without manual resizing.
- Visualization: The Cinera Render engine integration was improved, allowing architects to produce photorealistic renderings faster. Real-time visualization became more accessible, enabling "design-on-the-fly" presentations.
cloud platform, this feature enables direct collaboration on the same project data without needing local servers. Software Quality and Training Allplan 2018 received certification from allplan 2018
