Performance

The Architrion/O2 system combines industry-leading CPU and graphics performance with awesome design and modeling capabilities. Architrion/O2 provides a level of interactive visualization you never expected to find, especially at such an affordable price. With this combination of power and features, you'll accomplish more on the desktop than you ever imagined possible. This combination is ideal for professionals of the building and design industries who need to visualize their ideas in 3D and communicate them to others. The Architrion/O2 system provides a specialized design and modeling environment and the ability to interactively visualize the models (even with textures) at any point during the design process. The outstanding Web capabilities of the O2 allow for easy communication of the work through the Internet or on company intranets. Finally a system for designers !

MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE BUILDING AND DESIGN INDUSTRIES: ARCHITRION VI
Architrion is totally dedicated to the building industry. Every tool, process and command is optimized for architectural work. Its interface is designed to be intuitive and natural for architects and designers, so you can concentrate on your work rather than on the computer.
The 3D model is at the core of the Architrion process. You create the model while you design not after. Its complete plasticity encourages design innovation and yet provides highly accurate drawing output. You are essentially building the building before it is built.

ARCHITECTURAL OBJECTS
Architrion lets you work with true architectural objects that behave naturally. A wall is a wall. It connects automatically to other walls. It heals when you move an opening. It has a composition and a rendering texture. Walls even have a connection priority attribute so that intersections are cleaned up intelligently. All this information can be stored in a wall library so that it can be easily reused at any time.
The creation of stairs is completely automated. Once the stairs are specified, they will be recalculated every time you move the attached slab. Doors and windows are available directly from the Frames library. Frames are parametric; when stretched they will readjust intelligently. They will display according to the view (even in section) and their representation is automatically simplified at distant zoom levels to speed up redraws.

ADVANCED MODELING TOOLS
True solids (ACIS®) and NURBS-based complex surfaces add an exciting new dimension to Architrion.
These new tools allow you to sculpt practically any form you desire.
Create models of unprecedented complexity with Architrion's solid modeling tools.
Solid primitives include true spheres, cylinders, conics and others. Boolean operations let you punch openings of irregular shape into curved walls. A drafted outline can be extruded into a 3D form whether along a straight line, a compound path or with a varying cross section. An outline can also be revolved around an axis or lathed into a solid. These tools are ideal to create mouldings, pipes, ducts, vaulted roofs, arches, classical columns... you name it!
