There are also additional add-ons, options, and supporting solutions. The Allplan product family comprises four main solutions: Allplan Architecture, Allplan Engineering, Allplan Bimplus, and Allplan Allfa. Brief updates on Allplan 2015 and Allplan 2017 also appeared in AECbytes Newsletter #74 and AECbytes Newsletter #81 respectively. While this review focuses primarily on the updates in the application compared to when I last reviewed it, a comprehensive overview of the application can be found in the BIM Study Evaluation Report published in 2010, where Allplan was one of the six BIM applications reviewed and compared in detail for the AIA Large Firm Round Table (LFRT) CEO Committee.
I last reviewed Allplan in 2013, and given the number of releases between then and now-Allplan has an annual release cycle-an indepth look at the 2018 version that has just been released seems a good way to get up-to-date on the capabilities of one of the leading BIM applications in the AEC industry. In 2008, ALLPLAN became a subsidiary company of the Nemetschek Group, which continues to expand its product portfolio through strategic acquisitions and includes leading applications such as ARCHICAD, Vectorworks, SCIA, Solibri, Bluebeam, Drofus, MAXON, and just earlier this month, the structural engineering application, RISA.
Given its long history in the AEC industry, its tools and capabilities have been honed over decades of deployment and development, making it one of the most comprehensive applications for detailed design and construction. Headquartered in Germany, similar to its parent company, Allplan has had a strong European presence for decades-Nemetschek was founded all the way back in 1963 as an “engineering firm for the construction industry” and Allplan was its main product. Among the roster of BIM applications used globally, Allplan from the publicly traded Nemetschek Group is close to the top of the list.
