Professional Building Design Software

Building planning and design can be a very time consuming process even with the aid of today's cad software where you have the ability to quickly make alterations to drawings.

Most of today's cad software applications are not geared to the specific needs of one particular design application. Architectural designs require intricate features and items that are made up of multiple lines that can take much longer to draw than standard cad layouts.

Draft it Architectural has been developed over a number of years to be specifically geared towards cad users that are creating building plans and architectural designs. These users might be professionals working for global organisations or they could be individuals at home that want to create a plan for their house extension project. Due to the broad range of users and skill level's that would be using the software great care has been taken to make the software as easy to use as possible while still providing advanced cutting edge functionality.

As drafting building features can be a time consuming process, Draft it Architectural provides some extremely useful tools that even the most novice of users can get to grips with relatively quickly, these tools will save a great deal of time throughout your design.

The wall drawing tool allows the user to give the wall specific properties such as Cavity Thickness, Internal Thickness, External Thickness and Height.

You can also choose from preset types of wall configuration such as Brick & Block with cavity, Block Wall and Stud Wall types.

This feature enables rapid drawing of walls that are created exactly to your specification and dimensional requirements, you can see an example of this tool in action in the video below.

As you can see from the video using the wall drawing tool saves a huge amount of time as you now no longer have to draw all of the internal and external features of the wall sections.

The window drawing tool also allows you to create windows for your plan very quickly by specifying some initial options in the tool. The window opening size can be configured as well as the jamb size, justification and wall beak. Other options include inner and outer sill projection distances.

This feature enables rapid drawing of doors with your configured options, there is also an opening tool that works in a very similar way you can see the window tool in action below.

Once you have input your initial specification inserting the window into the drawing is a simple drag and drop process with your mouse, you can also be very specific and key into the controlling dimension that you would like to use to specify a specific distance.

Draft it Architectural features many more time saving tools that will assist you and save you a great deal of time while you create your building plans such as walls, doors, windows, openings, staircases, roofs, sills, headers, eaves, foundations and many more.
