OrthoGraph™ - ArchiCAD BIM Integration is available

Sept 27, 2009  Good News for ArchiCAD Users:

We are not just creating 2D floor-plans, but from now on we are creating 3D BIM models as well.

OrthoGraph products were always capable of managing intelligent object libraries and building parts. It became a clear need to have integration to BIM AEC software that have more just than a 2D or 3D drawing. As the BIM concept is originated from Graphisoft, the inventor of ArchiCAD, we decided to build up integration to it before any other BIM software.

As a result please feel free to download and use our new ArchiCAD integration module, the OrthoGraph Import .APX Add-On of ArchiCAD. This new feature allows mapping the OrthoGraph objects with ArchiCAD library parts, copies the parameters having the same name within the two systems, and creates a floor-plan having doors, windows within walls. Using ArchiCAD's wall wizard you can get a 3D BIM model from the OrthoGraph on-site measured drawing within seconds. The new feature is available for all OrthoGraph™ users for free as part of the default software installation package.

Work in 3D with BIM models using ArchiCAD and OrthoGraph.

OrthoGraph™ version 1.1 released & unbelievable discount!

March 1, 2009  We have two very good news:

  • OrthoGraph™ Survey/Architect/Inventory 1.1 versions have just been released
  • and we give a pretty large discount now attached!

We decided to focus now on developments that help the on-site work/usability, and the utilization of the measured drawing/data. As a result we created many small improvements but there are two big ones that must be mentioned now:

  • From now on there is a native Google SketchUp output available from OrthoGraph™, where the measured floor-plans based on the room-height information are extruded to 3D including the wall openings and furnishing as well.
  • New on-site reporting is released as well, where besides the floor surface the wall surface, room volume, and many other measured and calculated information is available, and not only for the particular room, but for the belonging ones as well.

These alone are such features that let our users to win more projects/be faster than ever before, and be much better than their competitors with responding to questions immediately even on site. Nowadays getting such a benefit worth a lot.

We help our Architect and Interior Designer users not only with these new features but we also help getting them with ease. These features can go to their PDA and mobile phone easier than ever before as we are giving OrthoGraph™ Architect version now on an unbelievable price of $99/€79 till the end of March. If you don't have an OrthoGraph™ product yet, then now is the right time to have it changed!

The “Big OrthoGraph™ Compatibility Test” has been announced!

January 19, 2009  Since OrthoGraph is available on the market, we met nearly always the question:

What kinds of PDAs and touch screen mobile phones run the OrthoGraph™ software in the reality?

Our opinion is that OrthoGraph runs on all models, which meet the specific requirements detailed at OrthoGraph™ Minimum System Requirements.

Let's find it out together whether it's true; for helping that we made an interesting competition out of the idea!

Please read the details about the “Big OrthoGraph™ Compatibility Test”.

No need for a PDA to try OrthoGraph anymore!

PDA Emulator Screenshot

November 7, 2008  OrthoGraph™ graphical products can be used for many on-site graphical tasks replacing the old-school paper work. We met the need from many interests that changing in two things at a time may be too much to start with. To use software in stead of handwork, and to replace the paper with a PDA is too much to begin with. We think that this change is not only practical but is a fun as well, so we decided to support the way of change with a very nice and easy-to-use tool.

We made it possible to try out OrthoGraph even without having a PDA, to meet the world of these small handhelds using an on-screen PDA emulator.

Please visit the following site to download the free PDA emulator version of OrthoGraph™ Survey. It needs no more than 3 minutes to have your own trial version up and running.

OrthoGraph Architect Logo New OrthoGraph™ Architect version has been released!

October 11, 2008.  For the request of architects, construction companies and those interests, who want to measure smaller flats, buildings in one step facilitated bya PDA software, for those, who do floor-plan surveys rarely, we released a new software solution! The OrthoGraph™ Architect version inherited the full floor-plan sketching and measurement functionality of the big brother OrthoGraph™ Survey, scaled down to support the total measurement of flats and family houses. Meanwhile it is capable of exporting DWG files, supports the laser distance meter and contains all measurement automatism as its bigger brother, it gives a much affordable solution to many applications.

How this version differs from the OrthoGraph™ Survey version? So is the list:

  • As the Architect version supports one file per measurement, the Survey provides teamwork functionality to support the handling of large real estate portfolios
  • The OrthoGraph™ Architect supports entering the room hierarchy by templates only, the OrthoGraph™ Survey makes it freely definable
  • The Architect version uses standard templates of object libraries, the Survey version can even produce and modify such templates.
  • The OrthoGraph™ Architect is capable to handle maximum 50 zones, by the OrthoGraph™ Survey there is no limit.
  • As the Architect version uses a very easy to use ProjectManager component, the Survey version gives you the opportunity to customize how you handle your data.

For further details please see the OrthoGraph™ version comparison chart!

Try the new Architect version using the freely downloadable trial version, enjoy the new way of building survey!

OrthoGraph introductory movie on YouTube

September 7, 2008  People say one picture is worth as much as 1000 words. We think that an introductory video gives even more. We have created a small movie with music showing the graphical floor-plan functionality of OrthoGraph™ Survey and Architect: the sketching, measurement and assigning of two rooms.

How easy it is? Watch the two videos (shorter than two and half minute long each) on YouTube:
