In a sector where precision, efficiency, and interoperability are paramount, the arrival of Allplan 2024 signals a significant advancement for professionals in Infrastructure. This latest iteration of the Allplan software solution brings a collection of robust features designed to streamline workflows, enhance data integration, and elevate the quality of construction and engineering projects. Below, we delve into some of the key features of Allplan 2024 that stand to make a considerable impact on the infrastructure design sector.
Accelerating Design to Build for Infrastructure
This newest iteration of Allplan is engineered with a singular focus: to accelerate the design-to-build process. For infrastructure development, this is accomplished through an array of powerful design tools, seamless cloud integration, and next-level BIM workflows. Essentially, Allplan 2024 grants you the freedom to concentrate on what truly matters – engineering resilient infrastructure, optimizing design efficacy, and ensuring a seamless construction process.
Key Features in Allplan 2024 for Infrastructure Design
Allplan 2024 rises to the challenge of fulfilling three crucial industry objectives: heightened productivity, smoother collaboration, and superior design quality. By delivering on these expectations through its innovative features, Allplan 2024 establishes a new benchmark for what infrastructure professionals can achieve despite stringent timeframes and complex, large-scale projects.
GIS Connector: Simplifying GIS Integration
Integrating designs seamlessly into their existing terrains and surrounding structures using GIS is essential, but can sometimes require cumbersome, manual data manipulation. Allplan 2024 seeks to address this issue with its groundbreaking GIS Connector. Powered by 3DCityLoader services, this feature allows for efficient, cloud-based data extraction. Compatibility extends across various open GIS platforms, including regional offerings in Europe and global surface support. Engineers can also import terrain data as Proxy DTM terrain, offering further avenues for data manipulation and integration through the Road/Terrain module. The GIS Connector's streamlined workflow means that real-world data is integrated into Allplan's environment at an early stage, facilitating accurate and informed decision-making.

IFC Export: Preparing for the Future of BIM
Allplan 2024 comes equipped with advanced functionalities to facilitate the preparation of the BIM road model for IFC 4.3 data export. Thanks to this openBIM IFC format, all stakeholders involved in the project can access a true 'single source of truth,' ensuring that all parties can access and interpret the data consistently.

Furthermore, one of the standout features of Allplan 2024 is its ability to divide the BIM road model into logical roadway or construction sections. In doing so, roadway elements can be assigned any attributes, making the model more flexible and informative. This level of data structuring enables the model to be prepared for export in IFC 4.3 format without compromising on the richness of the information. It also helps eliminate information loss and ensures seamless integration, irrespective of the software solutions utilized by other stakeholders.
Road Design: Time-saving Parametric Modeling
Prior versions of Allplan allowed for road design, but the advent of Allplan 2024 introduces a remarkable enhancement: parametric modeling of road intersections. This feature facilitates the creation of type T and X intersections with unparalleled ease. Adjusting intersection geometry becomes a matter of a few clicks, making the process not just efficient but also significantly less prone to errors. Cross-sections and site plans for the intersection area are also derived directly from the model. This automated approach minimizes sources of error, granting designers a more reliable platform for complex geometries.

Clash Detection: Maximizing Efficiency and Clarity
In any AEC project, clash detection is an indispensable aspect of ensuring error-free designs. Allplan 2024 updates this process by offering seamless, in-software clash detection. This innovation eliminates the need for external tools, thereby accelerating the entire collision checking workflow.

The software categorizes collisions into four distinct types – Hard Clash, Soft Clash, Workflow Clash, and No Clash – each color-coded for quick identification. Such categorization allows for efficient filtering and evaluation through legends or reports, making the process transparent and time efficient.
Allplan Bridge Parametric Reinforcement Connection: Boosting Productivity and Quality
Detailing BIM reinforcement models within tight schedules and quality standards is a perennial challenge in the AEC industry. Allplan 2024 addresses this with its revolutionary Parametric Reinforcement Connection feature, enabled by combining Allplan Bridge's parametric modeling with PythonParts technology.
