In today's
high-tech world, it's easy to be dazzled by the incredible
array of software products for the building design professional.
Wire frames. 3D solid modeling, photo reatistic renderings,
you name it! But in many architectural and engineering offices,
a large portion of the real work at hand is still two dimensional...
floor plans, wall sections, elevations and details.
The FLATLAND® Architectural
Drafting Extension for AutoCAD® is a third party application
intended to adapt basic AutoCAD to the specific task of creating
architectural construction documents. Designed to meet the
needs of architects, engineers, contractors and other building
design professionals, FLATLAND incorporates a comprehensive
set of two dimensional drafting tools that were developed
while in use in a major architectural firm.

An automated
AIA based layering system which stores and recalls layer
parameters. New layers are created at the moment they're needed.
Never see "Can not find layer..." again! |
 |
Hundreds of standard architectural
symbols in simple, easy to maintain two dimensional block
form. Many of these symbols are created parametrically and
include handy insertion routines. |
 |
Comprehensive wall, door and window routines
that make floor planning
a pleasure along with the editing tools that it takes to maintain
a drawing over the long haul. |
 |
A simplified
dimensioning system designed to handle large, complex
drawings. FLATLAND adds many convenient formatting functions
while reducing setting requirements. |
 |
High-end drawing
annotation tools and text editing functions take the work
out of noting your drawings. Manipulate text styles, height,
width and other properties with ease. |
 |
Automated door and room finish scheduling
systems that will help you track the details of your proiects.
Shedule data can be edited in your drawings or in spreadsheet
form. |
 |
Special, automated
drawing cross referencing system to help tie up the loose
ends without having to spend days of tedious work marking
up prints and correcting drawings. Move from a symbol to the
drawing it references in a click. |
 |
Drawing
management tools to help track and assemble the many individual
images required to create a complete set of working documents. |
Because FLATLAND was created in a "real world" working environment,
it's tuned to the special requirements of a real office...
tuned to the way you work. FLATLAND allows your drawings to
develop naturally, as information becomes available, and provides
the editing tools that insure your drawings will survive the
constant revisions that are a part of every office's daily
routine.
Used at it's minimum, FLATLAND is a powerful design tool to aid in the production
of attractive, uniform architectural drawings, but there's
more! FLATLAND used to it's full potential is a complete
drafting and drawing management system which includes many
special features to help assemble, plot, track and organize
your work.
