Allplan 2018 solidified the brand's position as a "team player" rather than just a "lone superstar" in the BIM landscape.

Before the 2018 release, CAD software interfaces were notorious for overcrowded toolbars, hidden drop-down menus, and steep learning curves. Allplan 2018 addressed this with the , a dynamic, role-based user interface.

Rebar detailing for non-standard, curved concrete components is completely automated in Allplan 2018. The software analyzes freeform solids and paths, then distributes reinforcement bars and meshes dynamically while checking for spacing compliance. 9. Upgraded CineRender Engine by Maxon

Steep learning curve flattens for users migrating from pure CAD tools (AutoCAD, BricsCAD) to BIM.

Yes, it supports IFC4 import and export, which was a major selling point for open BIM workflows.

In the rapid churn of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, annual releases often blur into a haze of minor patches and cloud integrations. However, every decade produces a "golden build"—a version that strikes a perfect balance between cutting-edge features, hardware optimization, and workflow stability. For users of the Nemetschek ecosystem, represents that zenith.

For structural engineers, Allplan Engineering 2018 introduced a breakthrough: the ability to automatically generate a 3D reinforcement model for double-curved supporting structures (like bridges) with varying cross-sections. The system uses stored rules to design the reinforcement automatically, drastically reducing manual drafting.

You can now define and map attributes more consistently. This means BIM coordinators can enforce strict data standards across the entire project lifecycle.

While Revit dominated the global market share, Allplan 2018 carved out a specific niche as the go-to solution for teams requiring and buildable data over conceptual design aesthetics. This focus ensures that models created in Allplan are not just visually accurate but are also data-rich enough to be used directly for manufacturing and on-site construction.
