The Quantity Calculation Tool for ARCHICAD is an add-on system (Windows only) that streamlines the quantity calculation tasks, which have played a significant role in the design process. It allows for efficient area calculations from pre-entered 3D building models and 2D drawings with simple operations. The tool supports various tasks, from starting the creation of quantity calculation drawings to making revisions in response to plan changes, enabling accurate and speedy area calculations and drawing creation.

ADS supports you in every design phase from planning to confirmation application. In modern architectural design, the designer's work is diverse. Among these, determining the form of the building is significantly related to effective land and volume utilization, rational structural planning, and creative development of design. Furthermore, this decision must comply with building codes. ADS-Family facilitates compliance checks with height restrictions at various design phases through real-time simulations unique to the building code group regulation height restriction analysis system, supporting the designer's creative decision-making. This includes volume studies in planning design, checks for diagonal lines, sky ratios, and shadowing in basic design, and the creation of confirmation application documents in detailed design. ADS-Family, which never hinders the designer's thinking, makes architectural design more free and simpler.

The "Morph Zone" object in ArchiCAD is a groundbreaking object for conducting volume studies, but it requires somewhat complicated operations to be used for purposes such as "surface area aggregation from the study of the entire building." "MassPlan" is an add-on system designed to solve these issues, capable of not only aggregating areas and creating area schedules for each floor from objects created with the Morph tool, but also featuring automatic generation functions for walls, slabs, and floor slices for Morph Zone objects created with rough volumes.

Diagonal lines, sky ratio, shadow, and reverse shadow calculations are now possible on ArchiCAD! 'ADS-win,' which has been evaluated as a high-precision and high-performance height restriction analysis system, has been positioned as a BIM (Building Information Modeling) tool based on data collaboration. Among BIM tools, 'height restrictions (group regulations)' are important legal constraints that must be considered from the early stages of planning, and merely relying on data collaboration does not eliminate the challenges in terms of 'work efficiency.' The height restriction simulation, which has become essential as a BIM tool in Japan, is now available as an add-on system for ArchiCAD, utilizing the algorithms of ADS-win as they are! 《Free trial version available for download from the product homepage》

"ADS-win," which has been evaluated as a high-precision and high-performance height restriction analysis system. As the BIM (Building Information Modeling) environment is being developed, it has been positioned as a BIM-TOOL based on data collaboration. Among BIM-TOOLs, "height restrictions (group regulations)" have become an important legal limitation that must be considered from the early stages of planning, and simply relying on data collaboration does not eliminate the challenges in terms of "work efficiency." The height restriction simulation, which is essential as a BIM-TOOL in Japan, is now available as a plugin system for Autodesk Revit Architecture, utilizing the algorithms of ADS-win! 《Free Light version download available from the product homepage》
