ARCHLine.XP review
A detailed BIM suite for architecture and interiors, with a substantial upfront license cost.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ARCHLine.XP is a desktop CAD/BIM application for architects, interior designers, and construction professionals. It combines 2D floor plans, 3D building models, parametric elements, construction documentation, schedules, quantity take-offs, rendering, and collaboration workflows. Its interior design tools cover cabinets, tiling, lighting, ceilings, furniture, and bespoke furniture, making it suited to practices that need architectural and interior work in one environment. A 30-day free trial is available before purchase.
The main investment is the Perpetual License, priced at €3,010 excluding VAT. It includes ARCHLine.XP 2026 and permits indefinite use of the current version, while updates are purchased separately. The feature depth supports detailed production work: coordinated multi-view updates connect the model to floor plans, sections, elevations, details, layouts, and schedules. Quantity take-offs, material lists, measurements, and cost estimates extend the software beyond design authoring, while built-in photorealistic rendering supports presentation and visualization. Point-cloud modeling and conversion of surveyed structures into model elements add value for renovation and existing-building projects.
Interoperability is a strong fit for teams exchanging models and drawings across tools. ARCHLine.XP supports IFC import and export, including IFC 2x3 and IFC 4.x, along with DWG, RVT, and RFA formats. Google Maps, Google Drive, D5 Render, BIMobject, Cadenas, and 3D Warehouse are also listed integrations. Teamwork and external-reference workflows support project collaboration. The desktop application is Windows-focused; Mac use requires Windows through Boot Camp, and the Android listing refers to the ARCHLine.XP Viewer. Choose it for detailed BIM, documentation, interiors, and take-offs; consider an alternative if native macOS operation or a lower upfront cost is essential.
