What's New In Architectural Desktop 2004
With a comprehensive suite of architectural tools, Autodesk Architectural Desktop gives you freedom to design the way you want. It has all the traditional drawing tools of AutoCAD, so you're protecting your existing technology investments and practices. Work in 2D, 3D or both, to create a building model with intelligent architectural objects that behave according to real-world properties.
Then use the building model - in 2D, 3D or both - to generate plans, sections, elevations and schedules. Because all drawings derive from a single data set, they are perfectly coordinated and automatically updated throughout the entire design process.
Today's tight schedules are forcing faster turn-around for architectural and mechanical design drawings than ever. Make technology your ally in your struggle to bring projects in on schedule with Autodesk Architectural Desktop.
Minimum System Requirements:

Render Your Next Project Directly in Architectural Desktop

Higher Productivity
- Highly visual, simpler, and more intuitive, the new interface helps you increase productivity using process-focused tools that make the software easier to use.
- Intelligent building modeling. Architectural objects such as doors, walls, and windows have logical relationships and automatically update to reflect design changes.
- Direct manipulation of the building model allows for in-place editing in the design space without cumbersome dialog boxes.
- With over a quarter million licenses worldwide, Autodesk is committed to continued development and support of Architectural Desktop.
Do the Work Once
- Dynamically linked design and documentation ensures that any design work you do is reflected in your construction documents, reducing errors and omissions.
- Automated file and level management provides an intuitive means to accurately assemble and view your designs.
- Automated documentation routines enable you to efficiently extract specific data from your designs, such as sections, elevations, and schedules.
- Architectural Desktop and Autodesk Revit can easily exchange design data. In addition, Architectural Desktop users can directly export design data to AutoCAD 2004/2002/200i/2000 users without using object enablers.
- Interoperability with Autodesk Building Systems improves coordination between disciplines – improving productivity.
Render Easier and Faster
- With the new VIZ Render visualization feature built in, you can quickly communicate your design intent with photorealistic 3D modeling, rendering, and animation, without having to export your design.
- Whenever you update your design, the VIZ Render file automatically updates as well.
- The guiding principle in developing VIZ Render is that Autodesk Architectural Desktop is the model authoring application. All model building and organizing activities are handled in Architectural Desktop and then linked to VIZ Render for image making.
- The VIZ Render interface has been simplified so that the visualization process is easier and more accessible to the architect or designer.
