We are not just creating 2D floor-plans, but from now on we are creating 3D BIM models as well.
OrthoGraph products were always capable of managing intelligent object libraries and building parts. It became a clear need to have integration to BIM AEC software that have more just than a 2D or 3D drawing. As the BIM concept is originated from Graphisoft, the inventor of ArchiCAD, we decided to build up integration to it before any other BIM software.
As a result please feel free to download and use our new ArchiCAD integration module, the OrthoGraph Import .APX Add-On of ArchiCAD. This new feature allows mapping the OrthoGraph objects with ArchiCAD library parts, copies the parameters having the same name within the two systems, and creates a floor-plan having doors, windows within walls. Using ArchiCAD’s wall wizard you can get a 3D BIM model from the OrthoGraph on-site measured drawing within seconds.
Work in 3D with BIM models using ArchiCAD and OrthoGraph.

- OrthoGraph™ Survey/Architect/Inventory 1.1 versions have just been released
- and the new Architect has a pretty large discount now attached!
We decided to focus now our developments on helping the on-site work/usability, and the utilization of the measured drawing/data. As a result we created many small improvements but there are two big ones that must be mentioned now:
- From now on there is a native Google SketchUp output available from OrthoGraph™, where the measured floor-plans based on the room-height information are extruded to 3D including the wall openings and furnishing as well.
- New on-site reporting is released as well, where besides the floor surface the wall surface, room volume, and many other measured and calculated information is available, and not only for the particular room, but for the belonging ones as well.
These alone are such features that let our users to win more projects/be faster than ever before, and be much better than their competitors with responding to questions immediately even on site. Nowadays getting such a benefit worth really a lot.
We help our Architect and Interior Designer users not only with these new features but we also help getting them with ease. These features can improve their PDA and mobile phone easier than ever before as we are giving OrthoGraph™ Architect version now on an unbelievable price of $99/€79 = for one fifth its original price till the end of March.

Just imagine that you are standing together with your prospect and want to sell flooring/tiling or in another case office area to a tenant? Or as a painter you want to give a rough offer for painting a flat. Formerly you could give only a rough offer, or said that you will give a proper one later. Wouldn’t it be better to act even on the spot winning better position compared to your competitors? Or just to show your customer within seconds that the contracted area is real?
Now it becomes possible. In the next release of OrthoGraph (releasing in February 2009) a new feature will provide you with precise, up-to-date information about the drawn and measured rooms. Floor/Wall/Window/Door surfaces, volume and perimeter information will be available on the spot within seconds from finishing the drawings even for a group of rooms
Just imagine how convincing it is to your customer that after arriving to the flat in less than 3 minutes you give an exact offer for painting, and you can be sure that you calculated well.
Another example how we help our customers strengthen their position during the days of the financial world crisis. Become an OrthoGraph user today!
If you are interested about the features of the new OrthoGraph release before its market entrance, please contact us per email at info@orthograph.net to become a beta tester.

We like easy to use solutions, so we provide another. There was a way of transferring the measured drawings from OrthoGraph to Google SketchUp using the DWG file format, but there could be even more brought out from the same work.
We are going to introduce a new native way of Goole SketchUp file export that has many new features, let list some:
- Transparent windows in walls transferring the measured drawing looking like a real 3D picture of the measured room
- grouped walls and floors that allow users to measure surfaces in Google SketchUp with just one click
- the same one-click method applies to using floorings or colored/tile-imaged paintings
Even just these three main features help a lot to measure and represent the flat in a reality like manner and support your work as an interior designer/real-estate agency/architect and many more.
During the days of financial world crisis we feel our mission to support our users with effective features so that they can earn more with less work.
If you are interested about the features of the new OrthoGraph release before its market entrance, please contact us per email at info@orthograph.net to become a beta tester.

We could handle it as a competition as well, but the main goal of our test is to have independent users outside of us, who confirm that the OrthoGraph™ software runs on several PDAs and touch screen mobile phones very well.
We thought – to have a common profit from this – we provide all testers with a fabulous discount offer, if they provide us with the first test results on equipments that were not tested before by anybody.
For the details please follow this link.
We are looking forward to getting the test results soon!
