What ARCHLine.XP is
ARCHLine.XP is 3D CAD/BIM software for architectural and interior design, covering concept development, technical documentation, and visualization. Its coordinated BIM workflow keeps floor plans, sections, elevations, views, plan sheets, and schedules aligned as a project changes. Architectural tools include walls, stairs, railings, slabs, roofs, design phases, site models, and point-cloud workflows. Interior tools cover mood boards, cabinet design, tile placement, lighting plans, decorative moldings, and project documentation. The maker lists DWG, IFC, SKP, OBJ, RVT, DXF, RFA, and 3DS among supported formats. AI Render creates exterior, interior, and virtual-staging images from a 3D view, selected style and room, and a text description; each image uses one credit. A 50-credit package is listed at 5,000 HUF + VAT. The 2026 perpetual license costs €3,010, paid once, VAT excluded, for one user on one computer at a time; upgrades cost extra. A free 30-day trial is advertised. ARCHLine.XP runs on Windows; Mac use requires installing Windows. A free Android viewer opens exported BIM projects.
