Architecture – Level 2
Marking the North Direction
This video will help you how to mark the North direction in case of a north oriented dwg drawing, when we want to rotate it to the X, Y axes
Setting the Building Elevation Above Sea Level
In some cases the project 0 elevation is not at the 0 sea level. This video helps you how to solve situations like that
Geo-Location
In this tutorial video you will learn about how to make sure that the building origin aligns to the accurate Google Maps geo-location point

Creating a Terrain
In this video you can learn how to create terrain from a 2D dwg drawing imported into ARCHLine.XP
Adding a Plateau
After the terrain was created, we can use the tools from the Terrain group to further customize it. One of it is for example the plateau
Building Volumes, Conceptual Design for a Building
Design masses to explore a conceptual design for a building.
During the early phase of a new building project, you can analyze the conceptual design for various purposes

Analyze Shadows and Solar Conditions of Built Environment
Great and easy tool for analyzing daylight conditions.
Result is one colorful picture where different colors represent different amount of exposure to sun light

Sections and Elevations
Sections and elevations are drawings that are in living connection with the model itself, which means that they can be updated with one click and they mirror the actual state of the model correctly. In this video you can learn:
– how to create section
– how to resize the width and the depth of the section view
– how to update sections
– how to break their connection to the drawing
– how to handle multiple sections on one drawing
– and how to create exterior elevation view.

Printing
In ARCHLine.XP you can print a pdf document, a plot layout with multiple drawings, or a multi-page pdf that can be created with the print queue option. In this video you can learn how to set up a plot layout, add plot stamp, drawings and use the print queue to have a multiple pages in one pdf file
Dimensions and Symbols
In this video you will learn where to find and how to add symbols to your projects and how to edit them afterwards. You will also learn how to place dimensions with just a few click
Underlay Floor Plan on 3D View
One of the new features of ARCHLine.XP 2018 is that the 2D layout can be displayed in the 3D window
Drawing Comparison
The compare drawings function compares the current drawing with a previous phase and displays the graphical changes visually. You can actualize the result with one click to review the design phases
Quantity and Take-Off
With the quantity take-off tools you can access data stored in your project as an Excel file. You can sort it by rooms, areas, objects, tiles or even building parts
Point Cloud
ARCHLine.XP imports point cloud files to support the design process by providing real-world context
