What it is
ARCHLine.XP is 3D CAD/BIM software for architectural and interior design, covering concept work, technical documentation, and visualization. Its BIM documentation coordinates floor plans, sections, elevations, views, plan sheets, and schedules as a project changes. Architectural tools cover elements such as walls, stairs, railings, slabs, and roofs, alongside design phases, site models, and point cloud workflows. Interior features include mood boards, cabinet design, tile placement, lighting plans, decorative moldings, and project documentation. Supported file formats include DWG, IFC, SKP, OBJ, and RVT, with other formats also listed by the maker. AI Render creates exterior, interior, and virtual-staging images from a 3D view, style and room selections, and a text description; each image uses one credit. The 2026 perpetual license is 3010.00 EUR per once, VAT excluded, for one user on one computer at a time; upgrades are purchased separately. A free 30-day trial is advertised. ARCHLine.XP runs on Windows; Mac use requires installing Windows.
Who it suits. ARCHLine.XP suits architectural and interior-design work that needs BIM documentation, design tools, and visualization. Its free Android viewer can be used to open and explore exported BIM projects for sharing with clients.
