3D, 2D or both, work the way you want to --
the computer won't get in your way

Form follows function, as they say. CadPLUS is a great believer in making your architectural CAD system more functional. By putting it to work for you, you can get on with the aspects of design. And even with all our practical tools for construction documentation, the CadPLUS Total AE/FM System intuitively assists you in producing the form, the dynamism of architecture.

Certainly CadPLUS has all the bells and whistles you can think of, and then some. And importantly, it eases that most laborious of tasks, the preparation of CDs -- a big reason you bought AutoCAD in the first place.

Compare Total AE/FM with "vanilla" AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop. Total AE/FM gives you all the "magic" commands for creating Architectural, Electrical and Mechanical drawings in the language you speak for a fraction of the cost of ADT. If Architectural Desktop is overkill for your needs, then you should take a serious look at Total AE/FM. And best of all, every drawing you create using CadPLUS Total AE/FM is 100% non-proprietary, so you can share your drawings with your vendors and customers without the headache of custom objects and proxies.

The system is intuitive, flexible and so interactive that navigating through it is a pleasure. It includes routines for smart walls, doors, windows, roofs and stairs; along with extensive symbol and detail libraries; simplified object management; and 2-way database links for custom schedules and bills of materials. The integrated system delivers a proven, high-performance, cost-effective solution.

CadPLUS Total AE/FM System has InfoEngine and ObjectEngine products built-in.
