progeCAD Architecture - The BIM made easy?

progeCAD Architecture is 3D & 2D Architectural software using DWG as its native file format. The program offers an intuitive AutoCAD®-like interface and the benefits of a powerful BIM technology which allow the user to design faster and easier in 3D & 2D.

Easy-to-use for AutoCAD or progeCAD users and 100% DWG compatible



Either in 3D or 2D view, progeCAD Architecture provides you with intelligent and parametric object libraries to design your buildings, exteriors and interiors: walls, windows, doors, stairs, balconies, roofs… You just have to pick a shape and modify its dimensions.Editing your 3D project is as easy as a double-click on the element which dimensions you want to modify and/or drag and drop the element to change its position.

  •     EASY 3D with intelligent parametric objects
  •     AutoCAD®-friendly: the same native file format, the similar look and feel
  •     2 SOFTWARE IN 1: This architectural software includes all the standard CAD features and the familiar CAD environment, therefore you can use it for general CAD drafting as well as a powerful BIM design tool.
  •     Very easy and fast 3D Design with intelligent parametric objects and extensive libraries. You just pick a shape and enter its dimensions.
  •     Create 3D stairs and roofs in a few clicks
  •     Get automatically all the 2D drawings and views from a 3D model : floor plans, elevations, perspective views, cross-sections… and keep them updated in real-time!
  •     Low-cost yet powerful!

Quite easy to get started with the software even for non-designers
Even if it is known as an exceptional low-cost alternative to Revit or ArchiCAD, progeCAD Architecture is much faster and intuitive to learn.

Being an Architect: Then Versus Now.

© Sharon Lam Architecture, as a profession and discipline, has come a long way since Vitruvius. It continues to evolve alongside culture and technology, reflecting new developments and shifting values in society. Some changes are conscious and originate within the field of architecture itself, made as acts of disciplinary or professional progress; others changes are uncontrollable, arising from architecture's role in the wider world that is also changing. Below are just some of the changes that have taken place in recent decades: 1. Drawing vs. Software Save this picture! © Sharon Lam, using images via Wikimedia user David Rutten licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 Whether you like it or not, drawing boards have given way to computer screens, with CAD and parametric software now common architectural tools. However, the age old adage of being able to impress a client with a freehand sketch still stands true. 2. Lone Genius vs. Teamwork ...

How To Improve Your SketchUp Skills (10 Useful Tips)

For decades, SketchUp has been one of the most well-known 3D modeling programs in the design world, owed to its intuitive working tools and labyrinth of user-generated accessories, from open source libraries to plugins. Quite often, SketchUp is the software of choice for engaging children with architecture, due to its availability, flexibility, and ease of use. Later in your design career, you could be forgiven for dismissing SketchUp as a 'rookie tool', a beginner's level below the advanced stages of Revit, Rhino, and AutoCAD. However, as SketchUp has evolved throughout the years, it now contains a formidable array of functions, capable of producing complex, exportable results in an organized, efficient manner for students and senior partners alike. From geo-location to sun-paths, here are 10 very useful tips to make you the model SketchUp user of the office. 01. Use the 3D Warehouse gallery: check and purge models before importing them. S...

Morpholio's "Smart Fill" Extension Calculates Areas In Your Drawings As You Sketch

Morpholio has released details of Smart Fill, which they describe as “the world’s first area calculator for live design sketching.” Designed for the TracePro app on iPad and iPhone, Smart Fill calculates the area of spaces in active sketches, without the need for further drawing or alterations. The Smart Fill calculation evolves as space is altered through further sketching. As rooms are sliced in half, the area reduces, while as walls are erased, the area expands. The app also allows for the space to be filled in with color, text labels, or numerical data. s mart Fill has been designed for a variety of applicable circumstances. Homeowners and contractors can calculate floorplans, home additions, or garden designs. Large-scale city planners can calculate building areas, roads, parks, or scaled maps of any site. The calculations can allow for deeper environmental or cost analysis at an early stage, such as material areas and energy calculations. Smart Fill can provide c...
