Share your projects with customers through a simple link
Click and Watch – 3D Web Player is the ArredoCAD new additional plug-in (to be purchased separately) to make daily communication with your customers easier, quicker and more captivating. Before launching a render or preparing technical prints, you can export a project with a simple click and an average upload time of a few seconds sending it through a simple link: customers can navigate in the 3D scenes in high quality and online, on their PCs or latest generation Smartphones and Tablets without installing apps or software.
Another plug-in that is now available is the “360 Virtual Tour Stand Alone” to create interactive virtual tours of any architectural spaces or external area that can be navigated on the web through renderings or a 360 camera without owning an ArredoCAD licence (for further information click here https://arredocad.com/it/virtual-tour-360).

​Making the management of 3D elements increasingly efficient
In this new version of ArredoCAD you can find many new functions regarding furnishing elements. The 3D libraries of ArredoCAD that have become really vast are not always fully used, so it is now possible to create your library of furnishing elements simply marking the objects you are interested in as “Preferred” and ArredoCAD automatically creates a customized library made up of the elements you marked as “Preferred” as well as of the folders and subfolders containing these elements.
Among the new functions, the option to create two-sided construction walls for matching furnishing elements in an island is particularly useful as well as the possibility to automatically insert transom windows above windows, French windows and armoured doors.
The option “Cabinet door thickness” has been added to the kitchen models and it is now possible to customize it using the configurator and reproducing the dimensions of any manufacturer. Two new, very useful automatisms have been also added to be able to delete shelves in wall units and in tall units with glass doors or to replace them with glass shelves.

​Printing options, new 3D libraries and new partners
As usual, 3D and 2D libraries have been updated adding many new elements and textures. Undoubtfully a leading brand in the lighting field stands out among the new ArredoCAD partners: Artemide presents about 400 wall lamps, floor lamps, table lamps, ceiling lamps and pendants. 90 new Makte finishes by SE.PA – a dynamic Italian company that distributes innovative and trendy furnishing materials – have been added (grouped according to wood, milled elements, marble, metal, solid colors and fabrics).
Last but not least, new elements have been added to the ArredoCAD libraries: 30 taps for kitchens, 33 taps for bathrooms, 15 countertop washbasins, tall units for microwaves and oven, tall units with recessed doors and internal tall units, end side panels for base units with drawers, two new types of fluted cabinet doors (available for the models: Kitchens, Handleless kitchens with channel, Bathrooms, Living zone, Wardrobes and Children’s bedrooms) and 1 door with integrated handle (available for the models: Kitchens, Bathrooms and Living zone).

Double Automatic Backup System to keep your projects 100% safe
Many users will probably not notice that the version of ArredoCAD is now made up of 2 automatic backup systems: one system saves compositions and objects stored in the user archive, and the other one called “Projects history” automatically saves all the operations made in a project in the last 4 days to restore them in case of problems (to do this you need 10GB space in your disc).

The most important contract projects for the foreign market

Red Bull Ring Spielberg is more than a 4.318 race circuit made of 900 tons of steel. A true symbol of a futuristic construction, it hosts and interesting working area and a multifunctional event center that can turn into a congress area and a media center when hosting events for Formula 1, and where dynamic and versatile spaces are combined with a sober yet sophisticated comfort.
Sand, the iconic chair created by Dondoli e Poggi for Desalto, was the perfect object to be revisited as contract furniture item, since it has always represented the indissoluble bond between aesthetics and functionality. If it is true that chairs tell the history of design, Sand becomes the light, solid and comfortable main character of a tale in which the most advanced technology meets the unique craftsmanship of Brianza. This chair can be integrated fairly well in modern spaces making them look solid and sober, almost essential.

Think green

• Choosing green shades brings you closer to nature and gives you a deep inner peace in any of its hues. Olive green, sage green, petrol green and water green are some favorites among the 50 variants and nuances of green. Its nature of a secondary color, mixing the primary colors of yellow and blue, makes green an unstable color, yet particularly noble and elegant. It can be combined with all earth shades, even with champagne ones, which are currently very trendy. It is wonderful with marble tones and country chic wall papers.

Over the rainbow

• Interior design trends for 2020, bring some other colors into the picture among the protagonists for home decorations. Champagne with its bronze or gold nuances is going to entirely substitute grey, creating a warm tone that recalls the sweet wandering and warmth of earth tones. It surely is a trendy color this year that can be combined with fabrics or design items in a classical and original way.

An elegant and particularly fine touch is given by the combination with dark red: color of the year in 2019 according to Sherwin-Williams, and still among the first 3 top colors in 2020 thanks to its versatility. 
If you want to be daring, to be amusing and to convey energy, mango is the right color to paint a wall in your house. It’s a fun and warm color able to create a cozy atmosphere also used for cushions, curtains or lamps, even an entirely painted wall: an explosion of vitality.Dark colors have enjoyed success this year too: carbon or iron tones as well as black are timeless due to their elegance. These colors are still worthy of space and representation in your house.

Practice Feng Shui for interior design: What to take into consideration?Feng Shui decorating helps to balance the energy according to simple but yet efficient arrangements that focus on earth, fire, metal, water and wood. These materials are also reflected in colors and patterns. We all respond to our environments, which means a clear benefit to the rational use of the elements to make the client’s house unique. Let’s take a look at the main ones:
Color

• positive energy and the proper choice of colors have a strong impact on our health, mood, thinking and energy level in our home environment. For each room you have to choose the right color according to the function of the room: relaxing, working, sleeping. For example choosing a neutral yet enveloping color for your bedroom helps you fall asleep more easily and sleep better.

Light

• Have you ever visited a home environment with gloomy lighting or too exposed to sunlight? A good and well-balanced positioning of windows and light spots allows to make the best use of lighting for each space available and its intended function, for example a place for reading and working or a relaxing atmosphere and dimmed lights.

Interior space

• Feng Shui focuses on the concept related to the rationalization of space to maintain a good energy and to let it circulate and flow naturally. This energy shouldn’t be stopped by a piece of furniture which is too big or poorly positioned, near entrances for example. This proper energy flow has great benefits and offers an overall wellbeing in the living spaces and homes.

Furnishing

• According to Feng Shui each piece of furniture has a particular function and a specific placement position. The shape of design items and furnishing elements plays an important role where energy can be intensified, dispersed or even driven back, all these different outcomes according to the different shape used. For instance, the shape of a table: when designing a room, interior designers insert a rounded or a squared table but often they don’t pay much attention to which shape is the most suitable for the geometry of the room. Materials are also crucial: wood, metal or plexiglass can create a cozy atmosphere but used in the wrong context they can have the opposite effect.

Decorations

• Home interiors get a distinctive character also through a rational use of design items. For example, according to Feng Shui objects that help to harmonize energy can be largely used to support people reach their own internal balance when they are at home. Good luck charms are often used to foster a positive mood that plays a crucial role for successful design. ArredoCAD offers the possibility to add objects to your archive that are typical and specific for Feng Shui design and to visualize and move them in the project in real time. In this way the interior designer can promptly check what they have drawn and if that is coherent with the principles of Feng Shui.
