What is ArCADia PLUS?

WHAT IS ArCADia PLUS ?

• The ArCADia PLUS software has all the features of the ArCADia LT and ArCADia software and, in addition, is enhanced with the following functions:
• The option to completely create and edit ACIS solids. ACIS files are based on the block modeling format developed by Spatial Technology Inc.
• Allows accurate work on complete solids, penetration, sums, differences.
• Import and export files in SAT format.

Basic tools of the arcadia bim system in arcadia PLUS:

Compare documents:

This ArCADia tool allows the user to compare the designs created in the ArCADia BIM system and find the differences between them.

Merger documents:

This tool allows you to include multiple projects from multiple installations in a single document.

Managing a drawing of a building:

• Managing visualizations and information displayed using the comprehensive "Project Manager Tree".
• The automatically created 3D view is available in a separate window to allow a presentation of the entire body of the building or, for example, a part of a level.

insertion:

Elements such as walls, windows, doors, are now inserted with the use of the smart tracking function.

Walls:

• Selecting walls of defined types or configuration of specified composite walls.
• An integrated catalogue of building materials based on PN-EN 6946 and PN-EN 12524.
• Inserting invisible virtual walls into 3D view or cross section.
• The heat transfer coefficient is automatically calculated on the basis of the materials selected for the spatial dividers (walls, ceilings, roof).

Windows and doors:

• Inserting windows and doors through program library parameters and creating user-defined windows and ports.
• The possibility of setting the protrusion of the window inside and outside a room, as well as its thickness.
• The possibility of turning off the protusion.

Ceilings:

Automatic insertion of floors (according to a level sketch).

ARCADIA: ROOF OF TERIVA

The module is used to prepare drawings for structural systems of Teriva ceilings. The designs include all the main elements of the system: ceiling beams, cross beams, hidden beams, cutters, KZE and KWE ring finishes, KZN and KWN lintel elements, support grids and additionally all necessary bills of materials covering the listed elements, complemented with the reinforced Steel and monolithic concrete needed to create a ceiling.

• Automatic and manual calculation of all Teriva ceilings (4.0/1; 4.0/2; 4.0/3; 6.0; 8.0) in the ceiling areas anyway.
• Automatic distribution of beams, cross beams and beams on internal and external walls and on the main beams.
• Automatic configuration of a cutter system for openings and beams for partitions.
• Automatic resolution of a side ceiling access to a wall.
• Automatic calculation and configuration of the required plan and offset networks.

quarters:

• Automatic creation of closed-contour rooms of virtual walls and walls.
• Temperature and lighting requirements are automatically assigned to rooms according to their names.
• The ability to change the graphic image of a room in the view, for example, by padding or color.

Linking joistes:

Inserting binding beams, including reinforcements defined for bars and stirrups.

Columns:

Insertion of rectangular and elliptical section columns.

Chimneys:

• The insertion of single chimney openings or chimney shafts (groups of chimneys with a defined number of columns and lines).
• The possibility to insert chimney ducts or mark the exit of existing chimneys.

New profiles

stairs:

• Set one or multiple flight ladders and winder ladders on any plane.
• New types of stairs: monolithic with rails or mischief with cords. The ability to choose the type and elements of a step.

Terronos:

• Automatic creation of a terrain model based on point heights from digital DWG maps.
• Insertion of a terrain plane using point or line heights.
• Inserting objects that simulate elements of a network or existing objects on the ground to check for collisions in the project.

3D VISION:

• By inserting and modifying the camera settings, from an observer's point of view, which can be used to view a drawing or to save a visualization.
• The current scene can be saved to a file in BMP, JPG, or PNG formats.

Auxiliary elements of arcadia PLUS:

MODULAR SHAFTS:

The possibility to insert a grid of modular shafts, including complete editing options.

TITLE BLOCKS:

• Creating user-defined title blocks in the dialog window or using graphic field editing options.
• Inserting automatic (taken from a project) or user-defined text into a title block.
• Saving title blocks for the project or program library.

templates:

• Saving user-defined settings of elements (bullets, fonts, default types, heights).
• The "Type Manager" is used to manage types used in a document and existing in the global library. From now on, it can be saved in templates that object types will be used for.

Layouts:

Groups of elements of various types can be saved in a single type. All connections, element sizes, and other parameters of individual elements can be saved in a single layout that can be used in future projects. The layout can also be divided to modify individual group elements.

TYPE LIBRARY:

• A built-in type library for all elements of each module.
• Modify the library during design, saving the created types.
• Modify the library in the library window by adding, editing, and deleting types from the global/user library or the project library.

dimension:

The arbitrary linear and angular sizing of a design.

Listings:

• Automatically created room listings for each level.
• Automatically created listings of windows and doors, including symbols.
• Lists can be exported to an RTF file and to a spreadsheet (CSV) file.
• Communicate with other systems.
• Projects can be exported in XML format.
• The ability to edit and correct listings before they are saved. Print and addition listings, for example, a logo.
• A new word processor called ArCADia-TEXT is available. It starts when exporting to an RTF file.
• ArCADia-TEXT provides the following formats: RTF, DOC, DOCX, TXT and PDF.

Goals:

• An integrated library of elements allows drawings to be detailed with the necessary architectural 2D symbols.
• A library of 3D objects allows created interiors to be organized.
• The object catalog can be extended with new libraries.
• User-defined objects created with 2D elements can be saved to the program library.
• 2D and 3D objects can be inserted at an angle relative to the Z axis given during insertion.
• The ability to rotate objects on the X and Y axes and change a symbol in a visualization when needed.
• COLLISIONS (automatic detection of collisions and intersections between arcadia bim system elements):
• Collisions of any element in the ArCADia BIM system can be listed free of charge.
• Clear lists of collisions are available in the design and point indicators in the plane and 3D view.

Expanded graphics engine:

The software is available in two versions, allowing consumers to adapt it to their own current design needs and tasks. ArCADiasoft is a member of the INTELLICAD Technological Consortium (ITC, USA) – the sole copyright owner for IntelliCAD source codes. ArCADiasoft's support to the ITC consortium ensures that our customers are constantly provided with the latest software developments and continuous program update. The software has a new graphical interface, where all options are in lists located at the top of the screen.
