Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional Features

• Ashampoo 3D CAD Portable’s precision design and modeling
  tools emphasize accuracy with numerical input tools for walls, doors, windows and terrain. Users can define dimensions, angles and positions with pixel-perfect accuracy, ensuring technical compliance with construction plans1 6 . Advanced features such as automatic sizing in 2D floor plans and element text generation streamline workflows by reducing manual marking tasks1. The software also supports parametric modeling, allowing you to propagate adjustments to related elements (for example, resizing a window updates its 3D representation and associated dimensions).
• Extensive object libraries and customization
  options The software boasts a huge catalog of 3D objects with more than 1500 pre-built elements in version 9 and more than 250 ready-to-use groups (e.g., garages, kitchen units, saunas). Users can import millions of additional objects through formats such as SketchUp (.skp) and Collada (.dae), allowing you to create branded or custom designs. For electrical planning, version 12 introduces the Electrical Assistant, which automatically places sockets, switches, and fixtures based on the type of room, while allowing you to customize symbols and layers.
• Photorealistic Rendering and Virtual Tours
  The 3D rendering engine creates realistic visuals with adjustable lighting, textures, and shadows. Opening doors and windows add realism to virtual aisles with adjustable angles for dynamic presentations. Users can simulate natural light conditions and even integrate photovoltaic installations for rooftop or flat roof systems by adjusting panel placement and spacing in preliminary designs.
• Landscaping and Area
  Design Terrain modeling tools allow users to sculpt gardens, retaining walls, and slopes using 3D boundaries and automatic height adjustments. Features such as retaining walls and railings that adapt to the contours of the terrain provide coherent exterior designs1 6. The software also calculates excavation volumes and material requirements (e.g., soil for flower beds), assisting in cost estimation.
• Electrical and Structural Planning
  Electrical Planning Module Version 12 automates component placement and generates parts lists, reducing errors in complex installations 6. To ensure structural integrity, the software supports the design of foundations (single, strip, and base plates) and analyzes load-bearing elements such as walls and ceilings.
• Export
  collaboration and flexibility Ashampoo facilitates cross-platform collaboration with DXF/DWG import/export, ensuring compatibility with AutoCAD and similar tools 1 6. Designs can also be exported to Maxon Cinema 4D for advanced rendering or shared as PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, or RTF documents.
• User Experience and Interface
• Intuitive workflow
  The interface uses a Microsoft Office-style ribbon layout with toolbars organized by theme (e.g., Project, Terrain, Electrical) for quick access1 11. Context menus and an auto-save feature (introduced in version 11) minimize disruptions, and input wizards help users perform complex tasks such as designing a roof or creating a stair.
• Learning Resources
  Ashampoo provides tutorials, video tutorials and a structured help system for new users. For example, the redesigned v11 Help menu offers direct links to 2 troubleshooting articles. Integration with mtextur.com, a repository of more than 10,000 CAD textures, further simplifies the selection and application of materials.
• Performance and System Requirements
  The software is optimized for Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and requires a stable internet connection to activate. Although it lacks native support for mobile devices, projects can be viewed on tablets using exported formats. Users have reported smooth performance on mid-range hardware, although complex 3D models may require more powerful GPUs.
• Applications in various industries
• Architecture &
  Construction Professionals use Ashampoo to create permit-ready drawings with cross-sections, facades and foundation details. The Floor Plan Analysis Tool (v11) automatically flags design inconsistencies, such as uneven walls or insufficient door clearance.
• Interior
  Design The software’s interior catalog includes furniture, lighting, and décor items that can be dragged and dropped into projects. Users simulate finishes, such as hardwood floors or marble countertops, using high-resolution textures with mtextur.com.
• Landscape design and urban planning
  With tools for terrain grading, water feature placement, and plant placement, landscapers create cohesive open spaces. The balcony catalog (v10) offers railing styles that adapt to the aesthetics of the building, while photovoltaic tools support sustainable site planning1 6.
• DIY and hobbyist projects
  DIY enthusiasts use Ashampoo’s simplicity to design home extensions, garden sheds or virtual room layouts. One user praised the ease of use for creating “custom snap-in wall rooms” and 3D visualizations.
