ARCHLine.XP 2023 - For faster, more spectacular design
ARCHLine.XP 2023 has the flexibility to support BIM project from beginning to end, from conceptual design to the creation of a detailed 3D model with full documentation. You can create an immersive presentation experience with cutting-edge technologies like the new Rendering module.
- We are proud to introduce the new built-in cutting-edge Rendering engine that creates a new level of photorealistic rendering.
- ARCHLine.XP 2023 supports IFC4 import/export.
- Use color schemes and color fill legends to graphically represent spaces and other building elements such as room name, type, area, etc.
- In ARCHLine.XP 2023, we introduce rebars. Rebar tool provides ARCHLine.XP with a new way to quickly produce building with reinforced concrete structures.
- The new Interference Check MEP tool can find intersections among a selected elements or all elements in the model.
We listened to our users, a total of more than thirty suggestions for further development were implemented in the new program.
The main novelties of ARCHLine.XP 2023:
1. New rendering engine
2. Color scheme
3. Rebars
4. Construction sequence animation
5. IFC 4 import / export
6. Interference Check (MEP)
7. Cleaner floor plan, customized 2D representation of 3D object
Rendering:
New rendering engine
The new render module of ARCHLine.XP 2023 offers a simple and fast solution for creating photorealistic renderings. It was developed to meet the needs of architectural and interior design projects.
Tips for improving your render skills

Panorama positioning
Panorama positioning helps to find the optimal position of the background HDR image.
Architectural Features:
Extents of a 3D view
You can use cut-away boxes to clip a 3D view to the viewable portioin. You can create the partial 3D view using the clipping profile. In the case of a large model, this function is advisable if the design is concentrated on a relatively small part. The function allows you to display the entire model in one 3D view and the model narrowed down to the desired detail in the other view.
Split level height
You can create a split level within a floor so you can more easily refer to that height.
Rebar
The Rebar tool allows you to place predefined rebar shapes or custom rebar to reinforce concrete modeling elements such as columns and beams.
Stairs geometry editing
Control arrows display on the stair indicating which dimensions are unlocked and available to reshape.
Construction Animation
Construction Animation visually describes the construction sequence with programme timelines.
Construction simulation offers a visual representation of project construction stages and is the perfect complement to your 2D drawings and schedules. It makes easy to understand the project.
The output is a 3D animation with short clips generated from periods and selections assigned to the periods.
Replacing the Callout content with DWG or Raster image
The novelty of 2023 is that the content of the Callout can be replaced with an external content, e.g. a raster image or a DWG file, with this, a construction-level representation can be assigned to the node.
Roombook
- interchangeable order
- change the room name
Interior Design Features:
Management of design variants in 3D views
It is possible to display different layer variations in several 3D windows, making it easy to compare different versions of the design.
KBB furniture fronts with multiple handles
KBB furniture fronts can accommodate more than one handle, so you can add different handles to the same drawer or door.
Lights overview
New command that shows all light sources with yellow/black light bulbs depending on whether they are on or off. If the lamp contains several light sources, the program displays the number of light sources. By clicking on the light source icon, the already known functions are available.
List of elements includes light sources
Opened from the floor plan, the list of elements command will show you how many light sources have been placed in the project.
Find Material
The command selects all elements that use the selected material.
Representing 3D objects in 2D with user defined groups
Various 2D representations can be assigned to any 3D object.
2D symbol vocabulary
You can assign your own floor plan symbol to the words stored in the 2D symbol vocabulary. Its purpose is to modify the top view created by the program when the object is imported.
Documentation & interface feautres
Calculator:
The built-in calculator is used to enter the numerical values of the plan.
Color shemes:
The Color Scheme is a graphical override method that serves to display group of elements or rooms based on any of their properties and present the contents of your project in an understandable way.
Interference checking:
The Interference Check tool searches conflicts among a set of selected elements or all elements in the model.
The purpose of the tool is to detect conflicts and reduce foreseeable construction risks.
New marker points:
- Section - Create/refresh Section with one click
- Object size change graphically
- The image has X/Y size editing marker, similar to rectangle
- Room and Area listbox allows you to edit the room name without entering a command directly.
Wall extension
If the end point falls inside another wall, the progran automatically creates a T connection
Dimension wall scaling sets
Sets can be created and activated in the Ribbon menu
The creation command brings up the list of the user-specified and ready-delivered sets in a new Ribbon menu.
Two-Point Perspective on floorplan
You can create new perspective view in 2D with horizontal field of view.
Updating the dialogs or other forms that make up ARCHLine.XP:
- Uniform look for Stair properties dialog
- Uniform look for Room and Area properties dialog
Variants
All elements in the ARCHLine.XP fits into a clearly defined hierarchy: Categories - Styles - Variants
Variants are elements that differ only slightly from similar elements.
Scaling objects graphically
Objects can also be scaled graphically with the blue arrow markers horizontal and vertical direction.
Printing Layout modernization
The management of the design sheet has been simplified with the appearance of the Layout properties dialog. Important dimensioning parameters can be set directly with the markers on the drawing.
IFC4 version
ARCHLine.XP supports the import and export of both IFC2x3 and IFC4 versions.
Built-in Rich Text format (RTF) editor
ARCHLine.XP 2023 enables to import Rich Text format (RTF) text.
Note:
This function below has been deprecated in ARCHLine.XP 2023 update versions after 07.12.2023.
That means they are no longer supported, and removed from future versions.
-The Place it (RTF) Built-in Rich Text format (RTF) editor, as Syncfusion third party license has expired.
Spline editing by control vertices or fit points.
Editing a spline with control vertices generally provides finer control over reshaping a small section than editing with fit points.
Perpendicular profile closure
The purpose of the command is to make it easier to plan accurately. The command completes the polyline with a perpendicular closure.
