Compatibility
Allplan Architecture is compatible with all major software applications, including other CAD packages, through bi-directional IFC, DXF, DWG, and DGN interfaces as well as many graphic formats including VRML. Lists created in Allplan can be exported directly to Microsoft EXCEL.
Administration and Data Management
When it comes to the big picture, Allplan Architecture takes care of all the details. Sophisticated network administration tools within Allplan allow many people to work on the same project at the same
time without conflict. Access controls and audit information are built-in, as are the ability to establish standards at three levels: office, project and personal. Updates are reflected on all workstations as files are saved.

Allplan Architecture - an Open System
A data model created with Allplan and all its accompanying information can, of course, be further processed in many other applications.
> | Practically unlimited import and export options |
> | Comprehensive import of the Allplan Architecture data model into CINEMA 4D |
> | Direct data interfacing with automatic updating in D-Board and
PlanDesign |
> | Newly developed interface technology ODX (O.P.E.N. Data Exchange) ensures complete data exchange in the DXF,
DWG or DGN format for other CAD systems |
> | Allplan Architecture and Allplan Engineering combine architecture and civil engineering in one and the same application |
Workgroup
Smooth workflow even with complex team structures: great benefits lie in the fact that all data can be used in a network as well as that all users in a network can directly access all the peripheral devices. Data access in the network is transparent and as easy as at a normal standalone workstation.
