What Is Nemetschek Allplan?
Nemetschek Allplan is an interdisciplinary BIM software solution covering architecture, structural engineering, and construction workflows. It combines parametric 3D modeling, integrated design tools, reinforced concrete detailing, and construction planning to support projects from initial concept through fabrication documentation.
Allplan targets architects, structural engineers, and construction professionals working on buildings and infrastructure. It handles 3D parametric modeling, multi-discipline coordination, rebar scheduling, precast automation, and quantity extraction within a single desktop environment.
What Is Allplan Used For?
Allplan is used across three primary workflows:
- Architectural design — parametric building modeling, floor plans, sections, elevations, and construction documentation for residential and commercial projects
- Structural engineering — reinforced concrete detailing, rebar placement and scheduling, precast element design, and foundation documentation
- Construction planning — site layout, excavation modeling, equipment positioning, construction sequencing, and quantity take-off for cost estimation
Is Allplan Still Being Developed?
Versions available in this store cover 2022 through 2024, including the 2024.1.2 release. The presence of a 2024 version indicates ongoing development at the time that version was published.
Does Allplan Work Without Internet or Cloud?
Yes. Allplan runs fully offline after installation. No internet connection is required to launch or use the software. Allplan Connect and Bimplus are optional cloud services offered by Nemetschek — they are not required and are not part of this purchase.

Allplan Key Features
Parametric 3D Modeling and BIM
Allplan creates intelligent 3D building models where geometry updates automatically when key parameters change. This enables rapid design iteration and variant comparison without manually rebuilding geometry. All disciplines — architecture, structure, MEP — work in a unified environment with real-time coordination and multi-discipline clash detection across the full building model.
Structural Engineering and Rebar Detailing
3D Rebar Detailing
Generates reinforced concrete components with automated rebar placement, parametric reinforcement updates when geometry changes, and precise bar scheduling for fabrication. Rebar schedules are extracted directly from the 3D model, eliminating manual coordination between drawings and schedules.
Multi-Layer Slab Modeling
Designs composite slabs with layered material definitions. When slab geometry changes, layer assignments and quantities update automatically across all project phases, reducing manual rework during design revisions.
Precast Design and Automation
Automates 3D precast element generation using Python-based parametric templates. Shop drawings and rebar schedules are generated automatically from the 3D model, covering wall panels, floor slabs, bridge elements, and culverts without manual drafting.
Architecture and Building Design
Stair and Roof Modeling
Designs parametric staircases with freeform geometry and compliance checking. Roof systems — including rafter and purlin arrangements — are generated from building footprint geometry, with automatic updates when the underlying building model changes.
Advanced Ceiling System Design
Creates suspended ceiling plans with assigned 2D face elements per component for drawing clarity. Coordinates automatically with HVAC and electrical systems and applies section-specific formatting for construction documentation.
Coordination and Construction
Clash Detection
Identifies coordination conflicts between structural elements, building systems, and MEP components in real time. Issues are flagged within the model so they can be resolved before construction begins, reducing costly on-site changes.
Construction Site Planning
Layouts construction sequences with site preparation geometry, equipment positioning, excavation volumes, and groundworks modeling. Provides visual scheduling support for construction phase planning directly within the BIM environment.
Quantity Take-Off and Costing
Extracts material quantities, dimensions, and component counts directly from the 3D model. Output feeds material ordering and cost estimation workflows without separate manual measurement.
File Format Support
Open BIM and IFC
Allplan supports IFC import and export for open BIM workflows, enabling model exchange with other BIM platforms regardless of software vendor. BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) is supported for issue tracking and coordination across teams using different tools.
CAD Formats
- DWG and DXF — AutoCAD drawing exchange
- DGN — MicroStation format
- PDF — drawing export for documentation
- Allplan native format (.ndw, .npm)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Allplan used for?
Allplan is used for interdisciplinary BIM workflows covering architectural design, structural engineering, and construction planning. It is particularly strong in reinforced concrete detailing, precast element automation, and construction site planning for buildings and infrastructure projects.
Does Allplan work without internet?
Yes. Allplan runs fully offline after installation. No internet connection is required to use the software. Cloud services from Nemetschek are optional and not required.
Can Allplan open IFC and DWG files?
Yes. Allplan supports IFC import and export for open BIM exchange with other platforms. DWG and DXF files from AutoCAD are also supported for drawing import and export.
Does Allplan work without Allplan Connect or Bimplus?
Yes. Allplan Connect and Bimplus are optional cloud services. They are not required to install or use Allplan and are not included in this purchase.
What is the difference between Allplan and Revit?
Allplan is stronger in structural engineering workflows — particularly reinforced concrete detailing, rebar scheduling, and precast automation — which in Revit require third-party add-ins. Revit has a larger market presence in North America and is dominant in architectural MEP workflows. Revit is available by subscription only; Allplan is available here as a one-time purchase.
What is the difference between Allplan and ArchiCAD?
ArchiCAD is focused primarily on architectural design and visualization. Allplan covers both architecture and structural engineering in a single environment, with native rebar detailing, precast automation, and construction site planning that ArchiCAD does not offer. Both support open BIM with native IFC. ArchiCAD is subscription only; Allplan is available here as a one-time purchase.
Is Allplan good for reinforced concrete and precast?
Yes. Reinforced concrete detailing and precast design are among Allplan's core capabilities. It generates rebar placement, bar schedules, and precast shop drawings directly from the 3D model using Python-based parametric templates, without manual drafting.
Is Allplan a one-time purchase or subscription only?
Allplan is sold here as a one-time purchase with no recurring fees and no mandatory cloud accounts. The versions available in this store cover 2022 through 2024.
