"The ARCxl Details and Planroom is a large non-proprietary library of pre-configured construction details and detail components. ARCxl also offers a planroom for security protected document management, distribution, tracking, and bidding.
"The library is provided to improve the efficiency of its users by offering details and components that may require very little or no time to modify for specific project use. It is a general purpose library that covers those detail types most frequently used in the detailing phase of construction documentation. It is impossible to provide the infinite number of possible construction details that might be used in architectural projects, but a user may create a near infinite number of different details by combining details and components from the library.
"The component library is organized by division and section numbers. When logged in you may download components to your download folder or bar and simply drag and drop them from there into a view.
"Details may be added to projects using one of three methods. Cut and paste from an open detail file, use the “Insert Views from File,” or “Insert 2D Elements from File” commands.
"Ordinary search terms are so general they require trial and error yet still only narrow the number of detail choices to hundreds or thousands. We have provided very specific pull-down menus to efficiently narrow a search. Details and components may be seen in a preview image with written description.
"The ARCxl planroom is provided for the easy upload, distribution, and management of construction drawings, specifications, addenda, and planholder lists. The ARCxl planroom is secure and includes the ability to host public and private jobs. It has a job calendar, thumbnail sheet previews, and full sheet image viewing with pan and zoom supported by all major browsers. Architects and engineers posting projects may use the service at no charge. Bidders may purchase and download orders by the sheet or by the set as determined by the design professional responsible for bidding procedures. Bidders may print, forward for printing, or work directly from digital files.
"Note: The app is provided free of charge and is non-expiring. Users may download one detail and up to 10 component families from the library in a 24 hour period. To increase your access to the library low cost annual subscriptions are available. There may be costs associated with customized Planrooms as described on the ARCxl Planroom pages and by our support team. Use of the Planrooms is currently only available to users located within the United States."
