Quantity take-offs can now be exported to Excel with graphical information included for WYSIWYG results. The software introduces standard spreadsheet editing techniques to improve productivity in Schedule and Index windows.

Custom prefixes & suffixes added to associative dimensions - while keeping their real measured values - can boost documentation productivity by an order of magnitude. Model-based annotation is key to an effective BIM workflow. An extended set of Reveal and Wall Closure setting options make the creation of refined details a fully automatic process.

This program offers users increased control over model-based sections and details of doors and windows. Live 3D views of the BIM model in addition to being work-views also become a standard basis for communicating the design intent with clients. The software greatly improves in-model visualization with shadow casting in 3D OpenGL views.

Uniform Rich Text Format is introduced in all text-related tools: texts, labels, dimensions, interactive schedules. With the evolution of BIM as the de facto workflow, architects increasingly receive consultant information in a BIM format. An app design model can be described as a central BIM database that stores all project data and makes it accessible to any project stakeholder.Įxternal IFC model content created by consultants - such as Structural or MEP engineers - can be placed as hotlinks into the app design projects as protected reference content. The program integrated CineRender - based on MAXON’s Cinema 4D v18 rendering engine - offers architects high quality, photo-realistic rendering in the BIM context. Complex yet configurable railing systems can be created that are associated with Stairs, Slabs, Walls, Roofs, or Meshes. The software Stair Tool offers the most optimal stair designs to choose from in the context of the specific building. Designing stairs is one of the most complex tasks in architecture.
