Drafting Tools
Generate Grids

GstarCAD Architecture is able to generate batch grids by setting distance and numberparameters as well as supports manually adjusting parameters.

Wall Attributes

GstarCAD Architecture provides many practical attributes for walls. You could set hatch pattern as Concrete wall, and it could automatically display effect. Designers could modify the priority of wall display order to achieve different effects.

Flexibly Locating Windows

GstarCAD Architecturebrings different ways to insert windows such as inserting a window to wall center, or with a certain distance from axis line. Designers could easily locate windows. This way is also suitable for doors, openings, and other graphic objects.

Door Grips Operation

GstarCAD Architecture provides grips editing function. For example you could click the grip on a door object to change its opening direction, up or down, left or right. It is very simple and convenient.

Draw Stairs without Calculation

GstarCAD Architecture provides U-Shaped Stair. It could automatically draw qualified stair by measuring staircase width in drawing. By settings parameters in dialog box, such as floor height, step number, it could automatically calculate step height.

Auto Search Room Area

GstarCAD Architecture provides area query function for rooms. It could auto search room and mark area after selecting drawn walls. It is very fast and accurate, especially for irregular room shapes.

Quickly Draw Slope Roof

GstarCAD Architecture provides tools to draw roofs. You could select the drawn pline and take it as auxiliary line to draw slop roof. It is an efficient way to draw roofs.

Road Slope and Elevation Calculation

GstarCAD Architecture provides auto calculation and dimension function for road slope and elevation by using dynamic linear interpolation method to dimension elevation for specified point on road baseline. It is a better way to meet user’s requirements of vertically design.

Enhanced Drawing Layout Function

GstarCAD Architecture provides defining viewport function. In layout space, it could locate drawings in model space by different scale factors and angles. Compared with traditional layout function, it is more direct and efficient.

Flexible BOM Table

GstarCAD Architecture could automatically generate BOM table to report some information (such as, number, area, and so on) about building objects, and export it to *.dwg, *.xls, or *.doc files. It could also import tables in *.xls or *.doc files to *.dwg files.

Generate 3D Model

GstarCAD Architecture provides 3D combination function for building plan drawings. Through project manager, it could locate all floors, and then generate 3D building model. The generated model could be imported to some 3D software which supports DWG files for further processing.

Drawing Compatibility

GstarCADArchitecture is based on GstarCAD platform. It supports mainstream DWG and DXF file formats, versions of R12, R14, and 2000~2013. So its compatibility is powerful.
