What is ARCHLine.XP?

• **GstarBIM is an innovative BIM solution for architectural and interior design projects - from concept to complete technical documentation. **
• GstarBIM’s evolving features and multidisciplinary toolsets can help all architectural, interior design, engineering and construction professionals perform at their best.

BIM projects created with GstarBIM are fully coordinated and do not require manual re-synchronization, enabling a more efficient workflow. As you work, floor plans, sections, elevations, views, plan sheets, and schedules update simultaneously.

As a result, you get faster, coordinated documentation thanks to parametric tools, fewer sync errors through multi-view auto-updates, and smooth collaboration via industry formats including DWG, IFC, RVT/RFA, PDF, SKP and FBX.

Architectural benefits

Design, visualize, and document residential or industrial buildings in one BIM environment.
Coordinated parametric tools deliver high-quality architectural plans, and models can be shared in industry-standard formats (DWG, IFC, PDF, FBX) for smooth collaboration.

Model quickly with purpose-built commands:

• Walls: draw single- or multi-layer—and even sloped—walls in 2D and 3D with the flexible Wall toolre.
• Stairs and railings: edit stairs and railings via rule-based controls that offer extensive design options;
• Slabs: shape custom slab structures by modifying slab profiles (including dome and cross vaults)
• Roofs: select from a wide range of roof types such as gable, hip, mansard, or curved.
• Layout: With Layout, you can rapidly compile complete technical documentation—floor plans, sections, wall and elevation views, detail drawings, and rendered images—at various scales. Any change updates automatically across all views, ensuring consistent approval sets, construction plans, and visualizations.

Interior Design benefits

GstarBIM follows the real interior design workflow—from accurate floor plans to lifelike 3D renders—so you can iterate quickly and present polished concepts. Test colors, materials, and lighting in context to give clients a realistic preview of the final space.

Work faster with dedicated interior tools:

• Parametric cabinet design
• **Tiling **for walls and floors
• Lighting and lighting plans,
• Suspended ceilings,
• Decorative strips/moldings,
• Furniture assemblerfor custom compositions.
• Models from 3D Warehouse open directly in GstarBIM and can be placed with a single click.
• Use Design Phases to show existing conditions and proposed layouts side by side—ideal for renovations and complex, multi-option projects.

Collaborate seamlessly with architects, contractors, and other stakeholders. GstarBIM streamlines file sharing and coordination, reducing communication gaps and keeping everyone aligned. Generate precise measurements, material takeoffs/lists, and cost estimates to support project management and budget planning.

Visuals

With an integrated renderer for everyday photorealism, an AI-powered renderer for ideation, and the D5 plugin for GPU-accelerated, synchronized visualization, GstarBIM covers every stage of visual design – from the first mood image to the final visual elements.

One platform, multiple rendering solution

Built-in photorealistic renderer:
Create high-quality images directly in GstarBIM with the integrated rendering engine.
It aims to be easy to set up (lighting, materials, viewpoints) while providing fast, presentation-ready results – ideal for everyday client meetings and approvals.

AI Render (fast ideation and style inspirations): Upload a 3D view, select the scene type and style, describe what you want, and generate inspirations in minutes. AI Render runs on a simple credit model (one image = one credit; available in bundles) and is an ideal tool for ideation, inspiration, quick visualization of alternatives and decision-making

D5 Render plugin (GPU-based real-time ray tracing renderer with synchronization):
D5 Render, which can be launched directly from GstarBIM 2025, takes geometry, lights, materials – even camera views – from the project, i.e. works with full data connectivity. In synchronous mode, D5 automatically updates when the model is modified, and high-resolution images are rendered in seconds – ideal for marketing-quality stills and smooth animations.

Documentation benefits

Delivering clear, coordinated documentation is where GstarBIM really pays off. From the first sketch to the final issue set, the software keeps your drawings, sheets, and schedules synchronized—so you spend more time designing and less time chasing updates.

One model, many outputs—kept in sync

• Simultaneous updates: Floor plans, sections, elevations, wall views, details, plan sheets, and schedules update together as you edit the model. Change once, see it everywhere.
• Fewer coordination errors: Multi-view auto-updates reduce manual rework and the risk of inconsistencies across drawings and lists.
• Parametric precision: Walls, slabs, stairs, railings, roofs, cabinets, tiling, and other parametric elements drive dimensions, tags, and quantities directly from the source.

Layout: fast, reliable drawing sets

• Assemble sheets quickly: Drag views onto sheets, control scales, and reuse title blocks and layouts for consistent presentation.
• Always current: When a view changes, its sheet updates automatically—ideal for approval packages and construction drawings.
• Mixed media: Combine drawings, details, schedules, and rendered images on the same sheet for persuasive submissions.
• Sheet sets for delivery: Publish multi-page PDF packages at the correct scale, with consistent naming and metadata.

Clear, standards-ready annotation

• Dimensions & tags: Purpose-built tools for architectural and interior documentation ensure consistent text, leaders, and symbols.
• View templates & styles: Standardize line weights, hatches, fonts, and graphic overrides across projects to match office or regional standards.
• Detailing tools: Callouts, section markers, and detail views stay linked to their source, keeping navigation and references accurate.

Live schedules and takeoffs

• Door/window/room schedules: Generate and place schedules that stay linked to model properties—no manual copy-paste.
• Material lists & quantities: Extract finishes, tiling areas, cabinet counts, fixtures, lighting, and more to support estimations and procurement.
• Custom fields: Add classifications and metadata to meet client, municipal, or BIM execution requirements.

Interior documentation that matches real workflows

• Wall elevations & room books: Produce room-by-room documentation with finishes, fittings, and dimensions ready for site and fabrication.
• Parametric cabinet and tiling tools: Drive shop-friendly drawings and counts from editable parameters—update once, reflect everywhere.
• Lighting plans & reflected ceilings: Create coordinated RCPs with fixtures, circuits, and legends tied to the model.

Design phases and revisions made simple

• Existing vs. new: Present current conditions alongside proposed work in one project, with phase-aware views and graphics.
• Issue tracking: Mark revisions with clouds and notes; keep a clear sheet index and issue history for auditability.

Visualization inside the documentation workflow

• Photorealistic images on sheets: Place renderings next to plans and details to improve client understanding and approvals.
• Animation handoff: When needed, supplement drawing sets with animated walk-throughs for stakeholder presentations.

Template-driven consistency

• Office templates: Start every project with predefined title blocks, view templates, sheet layouts, layers/pen sets, units, and annotation styles.
• Reusable details: Maintain a detail library you can drop into any project—faster production, consistent quality.

Quality and speed, built in

• Automatic coordination: Model changes cascade through drawings and schedules, cutting rework and review cycles.
• Clarity by design: Linked callouts, consistent symbols, and standardized graphics reduce ambiguity in the field.
• Scalable output: Whether it’s a small renovation or a multi-level building, documentation scales without changing your workflow.

Practical tips to get the most from GstarBIM documentation

1. Start with a template: Lock in units, fonts, line weights, title blocks, and default schedules before modeling.
2. Model with intent: Use parametric elements (not lines) so tags and schedules populate automatically.
3. Organize views: Create a view set per phase/discipline and apply view templates to enforce standards.
4. Place schedules early: Keep them on a working sheet to catch data issues before the final publish.
5. Publish consistently: Use named print/export sets for approvals, tender, and construction to avoid last-minute surprises.

With coordinated views, live schedules, robust annotation, and broad format support, GstarBIM turns documentation from a chore into a reliable, repeatable part of your design process—delivering clearer drawings, faster approvals, and fewer site questions.
