INTERGRAPH INTRODUCES ARCHITECTURAL OFFICE FOR BUILDING DESIGN
PROFESSIONALS

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 9,1995 -- Intergraph Software Solutions (ISS) today
introduced Architectural Office a complete, integrated computer-aided
design (CAD) solution for automating architectural workflows in one
affordable package. Economically-priced at $4,250 (U.S.) without
MicroStation and $6,545 (U.S.) with MicroStation, Architectural Office
combines Project Architect, Project Layout and ModelView, ISS's
architecture, facilities management, and design visualization
applications. This powerful combination offers architects and designers
tools that can enhance every aspect of the design, layout and presentation
process.

Project Architect offers comprehensive, easy-to-use design and production
drawing tools that automate the entire architectural workflow. The
software's advanced features help increase productivity and provide a
greater competitive edge. Floor and reflected ceiling plans can be quickly
created and revised in 2D view, while simultaneously creating and
maintaining a 3D building database. User-definable and parametric
attributes and material properties automate the creation of schedules and
reports. Automated generation of sections, elevations, and 3D models help
architects complete projects more quickly and accurately.

Project Layout offers tools for production-oriented space planning,
interior layout design and facilities management. Automating the
facilities layout process is an integral part of Project Layout. The
software enables designers to efficiently track and calculate space and
occupants, and lay out furniture, fixtures, equipment, and groupings
(FFE&G) from a variety of electronic catalogs. At any time, users can
switch from plan view to 3D view. For extensive reporting, Project Layout
offers the option of tracking project information using a range of
industry-standard relational databases

ModelView enables users to create photo-realistic raytraced images and
animations from 3D design data. Views of the model can be quickly set up
with easy to use menus that control camera position and define special
effects, colors and surface textures. An outstanding client presentation
tool, ModelView accepts design files directly from Project Architect,
Project Layout, MicroStation and AutoCAD.

By combining Project Architect, Project Layout and ModelView, Architectural
Office provides the technology needed for building design and management
at an attractive price.
