3D modeling software at competitive prices
Its graphics quality is impressive, it is more realistic than other similar ones and I like that because for architectural themes, the most realistic possible is often synonymous of a great job.
Pros
Among its advantages is the collaboration between users, which allows faster progress on a project. At the same time, it is very useful for implementing the BIM methodology.
Cons
The question of integrations is a negative point, other similar programs offer matching programs that facilitate or generate more complete projects thanks to them. In addition, it is not a widely used software so there could be delimitations in case a State or company requires exclusively the use of other similar ones.

An alternative for Autodesk Revit
The workflow in Allplan is slower than in Revit, which is both negative and positive because the level of detail that can be achieved is higher than in Revit.
Pros
The most notable function I highlight is the energy assessment in buildings, where you can simulate to improve it. I think that is why it has more impact in Europe because their laws require an energy assessment. At the same time, it allows virtual collaboration with team members, which is very productive.
Cons
Although it has similar functionalities to Revit and in certain aspects it is superior, such as the detail that one can customize practically everything in the design; it is expensive and licenses have to be renewed periodically. I conclude that this software is for companies that want a better job, more complete and at the same time with economy.

Great product
Pros
It was really easy to use, easier than Autodesk's Revit. Every single piece you can customize before and after you place it, which is a big plus. With BimPlus you and your partners can work on the same project at the same time. You can easily make your own materials.
Cons
Some parts can be confusing and there are parts you can't do, but very minimal.

Ottimo software bim ma inizialmente non di facile utilizzo
Nell'ambito di utilizzo delle struttura in calcestruzzo armato il software svolge bene il suo lavoro, è veloce, si ha il pieno controllo, quindi eventuali modifiche al progetto non comportano particolari problemi.Sicuramente consigliato per chi progetta strutture, meno come alternativa ad un software 2d più che altro per la difficoltà di apprendimento iniziale.
Pros
Lo utilizzo principalmente per i progetti esecutivi delle strutture in ca, ed in quest'ambito svolge egregiamente il suo lavoro; si ha il completo controllo della struttura, delle armature e delle tavole esecutive finali. Utilizzato talvolta anche per progetti architettonici ed anche in quest'ambito lavora discretamente.Buon la varietà di report presenti, ottima la possibilità di crearne personalizzati; può sostituire anche software di disegno 2d.
Cons
Inizialmente non è di facile utilizzo in quanto differente concettualmente dai classici software di disegno; da migliorare la gestione delle armature delle solette magari con l'inserimento di una funzione per il ribaltamento e quotatura automatica dei ferri; migliorabile l'interazione con i software di calcolo strutturale.

Der grösste Fehler meines Büros
Immer wieder Abstimmungsprobleme mit windows, so daß man den Support immer wieder bei Windows-Updates benötigt, weil z.B. Drucken nicht mehr funktioniert. (auch PDF!)
Pros
Es fällt mir schwer Vorteile zu finden. Andere Programme sind einfacher zu bedienen.
Cons
Umständlich, andere Programme sind deutlich einfacher zu bedienen. Wir wollten wechseln, müssten dann jedoch sehr grosse Projekte, die wir zum Teil über Jahre betreuen, komplett neu zeichen. Von Allplan bekommt man nach 2 Jahren eine "Abkündigung" und muß die Software neu lizensieren. z.B. der Support zur Version 2021 wird am 30.9.2023 eingestellt.
