Cadvilla – the 3D architecture software for drawing & designing your floor plans at professional level

Walls, ceilings, stairs, windows, doors and many other elements are defined and entered with dimensional accuracy via intuitive dialogs. Each element has different configuration options to cover the versatile variants.

Several 2D and 3D views can be displayed simultaneously on the screen. If an element is entered in any view, it is displayed in real time in all other open views (e.g. the entry of a window in the 2D top view)

The wall construction of the used walls can be changed and supplemented as required. The individual wall layers of multi-layered walls can be displayed with different hatches and patterns or filled with color.

A layer is a foil which is assigned to 2D and 3D elements (e.g. from the areas of interior design or electrical planning). By showing or hiding individual layers, different plan views can be created for different applications, for example.

After defining the roof outline, the roof and the roof truss are automatically proposed. If the proposal is changed individually, all affected roof sides, including the wood construction, are automatically recalculated.

After selecting the desired photovoltaic modules and defining the associated parameters, the PV modules including mounting material can be positioned on the roof. In an evaluation dialog, you can then calculate the estimated yield and create a parts list for it.

Already during the input of the ground plan, walls can be presented optionally in wood stand construction method. The timber frame construction is automatically generated for each wall according to set parameters. It is also possible to change an existing project to a wood frame construction later. This option for creating a timber frame construction is only included in cadvilla professional plus.

Starting with cadvilla professional, powerful 3D designs are available for modeling your own 3D objects. With these, rotational bodies, planar elements or shapes following a polyline can quickly and easily be captured. By combining several of these elements, impressive 3D objects can be created to present your project in even more detail.

For the final calculation of 3D visualizations, settings for edge smoothing, soft shadows, ambient shadows, reflective and luminous areas and others are included to achieve appealing and photorealistic results. High-resolution images are generated through direct conversion into an image file.

Draw complete floor plans of your house or apartment exactly according to your ideas and without any restrictions. Use the extensive functions of cadvilla to create your floor plan with all details and prepare the plans for your building application. All functions required to comply with German standards are included in the program.

While you create the 2D floor plan, the corresponding 3D model is automatically created at the same time. The 3D visualization shows you a photorealistic 3D view of your floor plan with planned furnishing and gives you a first virtual insight into your new home. By walking through it on your computer, you get a feel for the planned room situation and, at the same time, you can recognize planning errors immediately.

In addition to the pure floor plan functions, our 3D CAD program allows you to easily draw professional construction plans and at the same time take all important DIN standards into account. The intuitive 2D drawing functions help you create meaningful detail drawings with ease. All functions for drawing your details support different colors, line widths, fill patterns and line types.

After creating the 2D floor plan, use the 2D symbol libraries with electrical, water and sanitary symbols contained in cadvilla to draw a suitable electrical plan, water flow plan or sanitary plan. The library can be extended by your own 2D symbols using the extensive 2D drawing functions.

After having captured the floor plan, you can add the kitchen with kitchen furniture of your choice. Use furniture from the included kitchen catalog or from one of the additional 3D kitchen collections we offer. Starting with cadvilla professional, you have the possibility to import real kitchen furniture from well-known manufacturers directly from the internet and then place it directly in your 3D kitchen planner software.

After entering the floor plan, design your bathroom according to your ideas using the 2D and 3D bathroom furniture contained in cadvilla and texture the walls with tile patterns. The 3D furniture can be modified in any size and color. Import cadvilla professional 3D furniture from well-known manufacturers directly from the Internet and use it in your 3D bathroom planning.

Model the terrain using contour points, contour lines and predefined terrain shapes according to your preferences. Draw your garden house and garden with the included garden libraries of garden furniture, plants, people, animals and trees. Simply drag the 3D models from the object catalog directly into the 2D/3D presentation of your project and position them at the desired position. The drawing of a carport can easily and quickly be achieved thanks to the innovative operating concept.

After finished creating the floor plan, you can start planning the furnishing. Cadvilla offers you many 3D models from a wide variety of areas. If these are not sufficient, you can purchase additional 3D object collections and integrate them into cadvilla. Starting with house planning software cadvilla professional, it is also possible to download 3D objects directly from the Internet and integrate them into your planning.

Create plans for escape and rescue routes with your own additional module. Use it to easily draw your own professional escape plan, rescue plan or even a fire brigade plan according to DIN. In addition to an extensive symbol catalog, extended drawing functions such as the creation of direction arrows, coloring of walls or the automatic creation of legends are available. This additional module is already included in cadvilla professional plus, otherwise, you can purchase it optionally from our shop.
