Architron 2026
new features

1. Parametric Edges System (New Core Technology)

A new system allowing NURBS edges to store embedded parametric metadata.

Key features:

• Parametric data stored directly on NURBS edges

• Supports multiple edge types on one floorplan

• Driven through Creation Tools (Primitive tab)

• Fully editable via Selection Tools → ParamEdge

• Persistent through editing, copying, dividing

• Generates parametric child objects automatically

• Integrated with Preset Library

• Compatible with all Architron edit tools

• Foundation of all new parametric workflows

2. Expanded Creation Tools (All Prime Tools for All Objects)

All major parametric objects can now be created with Line, Rectangle, Circle, or Arc tools.

Supported object primitives:

Wall, Floor, Roof, Stairs, Windows (Line & Frame Windows), Flat Patch, Profile Object

3. Enhanced Parametric Objects

Parametric objects now read their parameters directly from parametric edges.

Supported objects:

Walls, Windows, Roofs, Floors, Flat Patch, Stairs, Profile Object

Key behavior:

• Without parametric edges → works like older versions

• With parametric edges → parameters come from geometry

• Per-edge control for everything (wall width, window type, slope, stair level, etc.)

• Auto-managed child objects

• Can mix parameter types on one floorplan

4. Walls

• Created using any drawing tool

• Per-edge wall width, side, orientation

• Very fast floorplan sketching

• Connect Tool for automatic merging into a single clean curve set

• Editable with all Architron edit tools

• Windows and floors can attach to wall boundaries

5. Windows

Line Windows:

• 2D curve-based windows

• Bottom/top parameters per edge

• Editable via Selection Tools

• Works with Modify Tools for move/align/clone
  
  

Frame Windows:

• Drawn in 3D using Auto UCS

• Frame adapts to wall surface orientation automatically

• Window can be any shape placed correctly on the wall

• Full freeform design

• Divide horizontally/vertically or reshape in any way

• Convert Line Window → Frame Window (one-way)

• Truly flexible window system

6. Roofs

• Created via Line/Rectangle/Circle/Arc tools

• Parametric per-edge slope

• Gable edges (90° slope)

• Divide, offset, reshape roof boundaries

• Ctrl = angle snapped drawing for accuracy

• Boolean merging of roof parts

• Unlimited freeform customization

7. Floors & Flat Patch

• Both support parametric edges

• Multiple parametric types on the same curve set

• Walls can export outlines for new floorplans

• Floor objects can attach directly to wall objects

• Flexible and procedural floor/ceiling workflow

8. Stairs

• Created via Line/Rectangle/Circle/Arc

• Curve stairs, straight stairs, and spiral stairs

• Multi-level system via edge parameters

• Incremental assignment with “+” mode

• Offset, extend, and reshape stair geometry

• Extremely flexible staircase creation

9. Modify Tools — New Cloning System

All Modify Tools (Drag, Move, Rotate) now include advanced cloning:

Object Mode:

• Copy or instance objects

• Multiplier for repeated clones

• Ctrl-drag identical to native C4D

• OGL toggle buttons

Geometry Mode (Points, Edges, Elements):

• Clone components directly

• Huge acceleration for parametric workflows

• Touch mode = instant pick & drag

• Fully snapping-aware

10. Preset Library (New System)

• Available in all parametric objects

• Integrated into Creation & Selection Tools

• Save complex configurations

• Custom shape libraries

• Will expand with user requests

11. Cinema 4D Versions

• Compiled for Cinema 4D R23 → Cinema 4D 2026 

• Unified behavior for C4D curves & Architron NURBS
