GstarBIM 2027
All-in-one BIM software for Architects & Interior Designers. Professional-grade. Perpetual license available. Distributed exclusively in the Philippines by Securezone Solutions.
The Complete BIM Solution for Every Phase of Design
GstarBIM is an innovative 3D CAD/BIM software covering every phase of architectural and interior design — from the first concept to detailed technical documentation. Building on 30 years of ARCHLine.XP’s deep presence in the European market, GstarBIM combines CAD precision with powerful visual design capabilities.
Key strengths lie in ease of use, high-efficiency documentation, and flexible interior customization — aiming to provide a comprehensive BIM solution from design concept to project delivery.
buildingSMART Certified
IFC 2×3 and IFC 4.x import/export certified. Full interoperability with Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp and 50+ formats — no vendor lock-in.
Parametric Intelligent Modeling
Design changes propagate automatically project-wide. Walls, slabs, roofs, stairs — all update in sync with zero manual re-draws.
D5 Render Integration
One-click sync transfers the full model, lights, materials, and camera viewpoints to D5 Render for photo-realistic visualization.

What’s New in GstarBIM 2027
GstarBIM 2027 arrives with comprehensive improvements: further enhancing design efficiency, elevating collaboration to a new level, and delivering an even more impressive visualization experience.
Architectural Grid
The enhanced architectural grid makes design simpler and faster, with fully customizable appearance to suit your project style.
Adding a Layer to a Wall
Add new layers to walls and define function, material, thickness, and position. Flexibly adapt wall structures to your design requirements.
New Rebar Dialog
Redesigned interface simplifies rebar editing, making structural detailing faster and more intuitive for engineers.
Custom Column Insulation
Insulation appears only on parts outside the wall layers when columns are inserted into walls — far more accurate BIM data.
Custom 2D Door Symbols
Complete freedom in door plan representation. Choose a custom contour, opening line, or symbol — tailor documentation to your own style.
Enhanced RFA Import
Imported Revit Family elements are automatically organized into variants, ensuring clearer data management and easier type handling.
Autodesk Construction Cloud (CDE)
Browse projects, upload and download documents directly from GstarBIM 2027 — work on a single platform, faster and more efficiently.
Group Modification Commands
Edit groups easily: add or remove elements, replace with another group, and update all instances in a single step.
3D Terrain Elevation Editing
Set the elevation of terrain points individually or with surroundings directly in 3D view — shape terrain models quickly and precisely.
Shadow Resolution Control
Higher shadow resolutions produce crisper, sharper edges — dramatically reducing jagged and aliased shadows in renderings.
Mini Photo Editor
Fine-tune brightness, contrast, colors, apply filters, and transform images — all directly within GstarBIM without switching apps.
Object Variants
Create unlimited object variants in the library and manage them in one place. Speed up editing of repetitive elements and test multiple design options in moments.
New Sketch Mode
New 3D sketch environment for solid and surface elements. Clean interface makes creating and modifying shapes much easier than before.
Slab Vault Types
Expanded modeling with tunnel, cross, cloister, trough, bohemian vaults and domes — offering greater architectural freedom for complex ceilings.
Near Clipping
Elements too close to the camera can be made invisible in 3D view and during D5 rendering — cleaner, clearer interior visualizations.
Redesigned UI
Larger design workspace, cleaner interface, more efficient workflow. More room for creativity, fewer distractions — try it now.
New View Control Bar
The most frequently used view control commands are available in one collapsible panel, leaving more space for drawing views.
NaviCube Navigation
The navigation cube provides fast and intuitive orientation when navigating complex 3D models — a standard tool now built-in.
3D Input Cursor Constraint
Guide the cursor precisely along X, Y, and Z axes or parallel to a plane — enabling even more precise 3D modeling with ease.
Version History
See the complete editing history of your project in one place. Any previous version can be accessed and restored at any time.
New Structure Tab
A dedicated workspace in the ribbon menu where all structural design tools are available in a single, well-organized interface.
Everything an Architect Needs, Nothing Extra
GstarBIM covers the full design lifecycle — from concept sketching to construction documentation — in a single coordinated environment.
Parametric BIM Modelling
Intelligent walls, slabs, roofs, stairs, and openings that update globally when you change one element — no manual re-draws ever.
One-Click Documentation
Auto-generate plans, elevations, sections, and schedules from a single model. Multi-scale viewports on a single layout sheet for printing.
Open BIM & IFC Certified
buildingSMART-certified IFC 2×3 and IFC 4.x import/export. Full interoperability with Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, and 50+ formats.
Interior Design Tools
Specialized furniture, tiling, and lighting design tools. SketchUp 3D Warehouse integration for ready-made objects and furnishings.
Real-Time Rendering
Official D5 Render plugin for one-click model sync — transferring geometry, lights, materials and camera viewpoints instantly.
Perpetual License Option
Own the software outright — no forced subscription. One-time purchase with a fair update policy for long-term cost predictability.
