OrthoGraph 10.0 is available!

We have been working hard on the last few weeks on the newest version of OrthoGraph. This new version comes with three major novelty.

First of all, you can enjoy the 3D and also the 2D view in full HD because we have upgraded the graphical engine behind OrthoGraph. So if you have an iPad with Retina screen, you will definitely see the improvement in the visual appearance of the software.

The previous engine was the cause of several problems so this development will significantly improve the stability of the application.

However OrthoGraph is considered an intuitive application, it was always important for us to help our users understand every function in the app. That's why we decided to create a new tutorial and first steps demonstration for the app.  We believe that this will help you better understand the logic behind OrthoGraph and whenever you need help, you can access it with a simple click on the little blue hat icon.

Last but not least we have also improved our IFC export file enhancing the CAD compatibility. With the IFC file you can transfer your OrthoGraph floorplan to most of the CAD software like ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Vectorworks etc...

Why is it so useful?

When a building survey is done with OrthoGraph Architect 3D, then the most important question is always where and how it can be further used.

This is a dedicated tool for converting OrthoGraph survey results to ArchiCAD on Mac & Windows.

You can try out the software which is running in demo mode by default, that means drawings with up to 5 rooms can be converted into ArchiCAD. This restricion can be removed by purchasing the full version.

Graphics survey made with OrthoGraph Architect can easily be further used in ArchiCAD. In case you have ArchiCAD installed on your computer, then by installing OrthoGraph ArchiCAD Import Module your ArchiCAD’s open funtcion will be extended to natively support OrthoGraph Architect’s file format (“.srvd”).

OrthoGraph ArchiCAD Import Module SE is launched

We got many feedbacks from our users who want to use the OrthoGraph drawings in ArchiCAD, and many of them does not do regular building surveys, only once-twice a year. They mostly measure family houses, apartments and small-mid size objects.

Now we have created a dedicated construction for them, from now on the OrthoGraph-ArchiCAD conversion module is available close at hand on an acceptable price range:

OrthoGraph ArchiCAD Import Module SE

available for only 99€/129$

The SE doesn't mean reduced functionality but only a limitation on the number of rooms to handle in one file. This version is able to read up to 50 rooms per drawing file, that is enough comfortable for most of such building survey activities.

The easiest way of creating a floor plan or a 3D BIM model electronically on-site is to use OrthoGraph Architect running on an iPad. As a result drawings can be exported to Google SketchUp or ArchiCAD, but in case of ArchiCAD a full intelligent 3D BIM model is created, not just polygons or 3D bodies.

Check out our pricelist to see the ArchiCAD Import Modules' pricing, and if you whish, you can order and start using it within minutes.

The free trial functionality - importing drawings with up to 5 rooms into ArchiCAD - remained available for the future too.

Free OrthoGraph CAD Connectivity is available

Two very interesting news about OrthoGraph Architect's CAD connectivity:

1. OrthoGraph ArchiCAD Import Module has been fully released. You can try and download it from OrthoGraph's website.
2. The first free CAD connection has been released - in beta yet - for allowing OrthoGraph Architect users to save their on-site made floor plans into Google SketchUp's file format: .skp. You can download it from Download OrthoGraph Google SketchUp Converter page, or read more about it at the Read more about OrthoGraph Google SketchUp Connectivity.

The Google SketchUp converter software is a stand alone Windows application that installs it into the Start menu of Windows. Its use is very simple (it has only two buttons):

1. Click the "Google SketchUp Conversion" button
2. Select the .srvd file that you have created using the iPad application - and transfered to your PC using DropBox
3. Choose a destination file
4. And you are done. When the conversion is ready, a notification dialog informs you about it.

To have an impression how easy this new module is please have a look at the screenshot made about it:
