Integrating the Siemens Parasolid modeling kernel allowed architects to create complex, free-form 3D geometries with mathematical precision.
: Added new engineering tools like "Sweep Bars Along Path" for more efficient 3D reinforcement design.
: This version expanded the use of Python-based parametric objects (PythonParts), which allow users to create complex, automated reinforcement and architectural components without deep programming knowledge. System Requirements
Previous Allplan versions were known for precision but criticized for rigid workflows. Allplan 2018 introduced:
: Intel or AMD 4-core @ 3000 MHz (minimum: 2-core @ 1600 MHz). Memory (RAM) : 8 GB recommended (minimum: 4 GB).
If you were an architect in 2018, Revit or ArchiCAD was fine. If you were a structural engineer or bridge designer , Allplan 2018 had no equal.
Architects use the software to execute projects requiring vast amounts of coordinated data. Because all floor plans, cross-sections, and quantity take-offs are derived from the exact same 3D model, any design changes update globally across all layouts instantly. This keeps documentation unified and mitigates expensive detailing errors on the job site. Civil Infrastructure & Bridge Engineering

One of the biggest selling points of Allplan 2018 was its ability to derive quantities directly from the model for cost estimation.
