Build 368 Release
2021.06.16.
- Minor new features and extensions:
- Antialiasing available on two levels. If you’re one of those users who has an older computer set,
anti-aliasing is recommended to switch off to make graphics less demanding.
Turning it off means curved edges looks like tiny squares but your software runs more smoothly because it demands less out of your computer.
There are two methods of anti-aliasing in ARCHLine.XP that vary based on the amount of computing it needs.
The default level that you can activate switching anti-aliasing checkbox on, works on most of the recent computers.
The second method called Multisample Anti-aliasing (MSAA) provides better image quality.
It offers a blending effect that gives the illusion of smoother, curved edges.
- Add insulation to external walls command is deprecated, instead it is recommended to use the new wall layers with phases tool.
- The manual setting of the opening direction of doors and windows has been removed for built-in doors and windows. The program automatically sets the opening direction symbol in the 3D views.
- The Project Navigator drawing rename command was sometimes unavailable, fixed.
- Move object to another layer command fixed.
- Minor rearrangement of the Print Queue dialog so that the name of the PDF file is visible along with the path.
- Onedrive project save is not currently supported. When setting an Onedrive path, saving projects, drawings, templates is not allowed.
- Ifc import fix: It also handles the rotated world coordinate system setting correctly.
Build 342 Release
2021.05.21.
- Minor new features and extensions:
- New command: wall layers can be assigned to a design phase. E.g. The new insulation layer of the wall is not displayed in the Existing plan state. In the New construction plan state it is displayed.
- New command: KBB cabinet opening direction can be displayed in wall view, schedules and tags. Location: Wall view properties dialog, Opening direction symbol properties, Schedule: Schedule properties dialog, Opening direction symbol properties, Tags: Tag properties dialog, Opening direction symbol properties.
- New feature: Convert light source visibility commands. 5 commands show the status of lights in DirectX11: All lights on/ All lights off/ Only one light on/ Additional light on/ Additional light off.
- Furniture editor, electric switch, shades, led strip dialogs: after each change, switched to optimal zoom in dialog preview. The dialog keeps the current view now.
- Fix project navigator accidental misalignment.
- Vector 3D view copying works correctly even with CTRL-C shortcut.
- Rendering: fixed incorrect appearance of transparent surfaces.
- DWG export from visible layers can be turned on/off with a new button.
- Fix marker appearance when captured screen area is less than 10 cm.
- Correct consideration of visible floors when updating a plot layout.
- Fix wall view, section, elevation hatch priority error.
- Light source management dialog: deleting the last light source moved objects to 0 m floor height fix.
- Automatic update of tiling contour: if the user has also performed a custom tiling operation, the reallocation of tiles in this floor space - when automatically updated - is disabled. In this case, only the contour of the existing tiles will be recalculated, taking into account the new boundary of the footprint.
- Using One drive as default drawing library is not allowed.
- Raster image cannot be edited on visible floor.
- MEP pipes can also be directly joined using the Automatic Join procedure.
- Anti-aliasing has been made two-level. GPU hardware supported Multi-Sample Anti-aliasing (MSAA) displays better edge quality lines on the screen, but requires at least 3000 G3D Mark graphics cards. Location: options - graphics - visual effects".
- Print tabular text: for fixed print character heights, the the border may overlapped the text.
- Symbolic representation of wall lights in the lighting plan remains fixed to the wall.
- Slab clay block 3D generation error corrected.
- FBX import 3D mesh scan geometry errors corrected.
- Copy command reorganized. Executed in a cycle similar to CTRL-C CTRL-V command. After pressing Enter, it puts the selection back to the original element.
- Colored vectorial Wall view's hatches are displayed in the correct order automatically.
- Door opening 3D animation on library doors works generally with some exceptions.
- The Instance ID of doors and windows is displayed in consignments. The radius of the bubble is not prompted, but is always calculated automatically according to the length of the text inserted.
Build 286 Release

- Project phases: A new wall connection can make a joint where a window is demolished
- New command: Update project parameters - update all seals on the sheet simultaneously with the current BIM project parameterskkel
- Door / Window - In addition to the effective clear width, the concept of effectiv clear height has also been introduced
- New command: Animated door opening in 3D view. It can be turned off in the Options - Items Settings panel.
- New wall dimension chain type: Interior rooms, wall thicknesses, series of door / window frame points
- Tiling can be placed on the bottom of the stair / ramp as well as on the top of the ramp
- Sloping ceiling contour can be edited in 2D
- Custom paper size could not be set when printing to PDF
- Command extension to select similar elements for wall and slab: if there is no style name, the program searches for similar ones based on the layers similarity
- In the case of door and window dimesioning, if there is a hole, the frame thickness does not reduce the displayed dimension value
- Truss could not be generated in 3D
- Ifc export: an insulated column with a separate color
- DWG export - model color using phase graphic override option can also be selected
- The color of the paper model can be set in the Options - Display - Visual Effects panel
- In Rendering, you can also select a paper model with a custom color setting
- Print sheet name can be a name in addition to a number. It places the drawing sheets from left to right and from top to bottom.
