Elecosoft releases Arcon Evo – the complete CAD solution for architects and building professionals

Elecosoft is pleased to announce the release of Arcon Evo, the next generation of its market leading architectural visualisation software, dedicated to architects, building professionals, developers and designers.

Arcon Evo is a powerful new CAD package suitable for all aspects of building design. The extensive range of construction design tools allows the user to quickly produce architectural plans together with client friendly visualisations. The new software development follows the success of its market leading architectural visualisation software, Arcon Visual Architect.

“Arcon Evo software offers significant new updates for designing exteriors and interiors of buildings,” comments Arcon product manager for UK, Tim Bates “With a modern user interface, multi-functional toolset, advanced editing capabilities, greater customisation options and powerful new engine, detailed plans, elevations and sections can be rapidly drawn on screen and viewed in a fully interactive 3D environment.”

Tim adds “The strength in our new CAD software is its ability to make it as easy as possible for architects and designers to communicate their design ideas to the client and anyone else involved in the building project, so that everyone is clear about what is being proposed thus avoiding costly mistakes along the way.”
