Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional is the ideal home planner for all designers, draftsmen, interior or landscape architects! Construct, visualize and communicate your design ideas in detail, straightforwardly and professionally! Create plans for building applications or execution plans that meet the highest demands. Powerful architectural features enable you to produce professional results, and extensive modeling features let you design additional components and sculptures that give your architecture its own artistic touch.

Powerful Design and Construction Tools

Numerical input tools are a must for precise planning, and Ashampoo CAD Pro doesn't skimp in this department! Powerful numerical input options for walls, windows, and doors make your life easy, while area-based numerical editing tools offer precision and flexibility. Together with additional components for windows and doors, roller shutter boxes, blinds and frames, the design and construction section is ideal for professional use!

Countless object catalogs

Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional is also popular because of the multitude of 3D objects. Use more than 1,500 3D objects and over 250 ready-made groups from the group catalog! The catalog includes, among other things, groups pre-constructed garages, kitchenettes, garden sheds and saunas. You can even add your own catalog directories–it doesn't get more practical! With Ashampoo 3D CAD Pro, you can import, edit and save numerous other 3D object formats for use with the 3D object catalog. This gives you access to millions of 3D objects!

Optimally align Projects, open 3D doors, and use additional window objects

With the "side view" and "top view" options, alignment, and therefore viewing, is simple and comfortable. Enjoy representations that exactly correspond to the selected function! The special thing about the 3D view is how expressive and lifelike it looks. The magic of 3D is that everything looks stunningly realistic and true to life. Openable doors add more realism to your rooms, especially during virtual tours. You can even individually adjust open door angles! Design details by, for example, equipping your designs with shutters and blinds for all common window formats and leaving them open differently!

Calculate volumes, door dimensions and foundations

Retrieve details like surface area, volume and excavation from terrain elements with ease, e.g. to calculate the amount of soil needed to fill a flower bed. Measurements for windows and doors can be included in 2D plan views. Polish your blueprints with a new component: foundations! There is even support for single foundations, strip foundations and base plates. And you can also determine the excavation or volume of void elements!

Quick photovoltaic planning

No good project design should be without photovoltaic installations. For roof-mounted system, you can already specify their layout, select modules from the object catalog and their placement during the setup phase. For flat roofs, you can simply specify which parts will be or will not be used for photovoltaic elements during the design phase. When you're done, you can place the entire installation in just two clicks and adjust distances between rows of panels or rotate and realign them - it's the perfect approach to preliminary planning!

Export to important formats included

You can import and export 2D DXF and DWG files directly from the program. This makes data exchange with other CAD applications effortless! And if you want to get the most out of your project in terms of presentation, you simply export it for further processing in the Maxon Cinema 4D format!

Import millions of 3D objects with ease

Ashampoo 3D CAD Pro supports loading, editing and saving of various new 3D object formats. This gives you access to millions of 3D objects! Simply import them and add them to your designs! With support for SketchUp or Collada models, you can now instantly use numerous generic and brand-specific models.

Photovoltaic installations - rooftop arrays and flat roofs

No good project design should be without photovoltaic installations. For roof-mounted system, you can already specify their layout, select modules from the object catalog and their placement during the setup phase. For flat roofs, you can simply specify which parts will be or will not be used for photovoltaic elements during the design phase. When you're done, you can place the entire installation in just two clicks and adjust distances between rows of panels or rotate and realign them - it's the perfect approach to preliminary planning!

Powerful area analysis

Due to popular demand, we have added additional area analysis and calculation features plus suitable output templates. Aside from living space you can now also process floor space, walls, ceilings, facades and many other areas. Facade areas can also be easily exported to PDF, RTF or Excel files! Position lists for windows are also no longer a problem.

Mirror objects with ease

Two powerful tools will help you mirror 3D and 2D objects and symbols either across any axis or their center points. This also works with multi-selections of the same element type which can save you a lot of time! CAD software doesn't get any more flexible than this!

Unmatched efficiency

The clean, thematically structured user interface gives you 1-click access to all features. Everything is logically arranged and easily accessible. You decide whether you'll use classic toolbars or the modern ribbons you know from Microsoft Office products.

Input aids and wizards for straightforward handling

From roof designs to terrain modeling - Ashampoo 3D CAD Pro provides useful input aids and wizards for all complex operations. You focus on the contents and the software does the rest - as it should be.

Exterior and interior design elements included

The built-in object catalog gives you access to various building components, textures, materials and symbols. It takes only a single click to place doors, windows, balconies, carports as well as sanitary and electrical installations in your designs. You can import additional objects from SketchUp and Collada. This gives you a detailed view of the finished project already in the planning phase - down to the last details!

Less is sometimes more!

Don't need import/export of 2D DXF/DWG files, no Maxon Cinema 4D export, and not constructing windows yourself? But you still want a comprehensive, full-featured CAD software? Then the cheaper Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture is perfect for you! Why pay for strictly professional features if you'll never use them? Then take a look at our 3d Cad Architecture.
