Description

IDEA Architecture provides sophisticated 3D BIM modeling while maintaining an interface similar to AutoCAD, allowing users to utilize basic 2D commands such as polylines, entity snaps, and copy functions to effortlessly create 3D models with our extensive library of 3D BIM objects. By simply drafting floor plans with the intuitive and parametric objects found in our AutoBLD menu, IDEA Architecture automatically generates the corresponding 3D representation. With a quick double-click, users can access and modify properties of any object with ease. Differentiating itself from other BIM software, IDEA Architecture utilizes DWG as its core file format and offers functionality to convert 3D BIM objects into straightforward vectors, which can be easily viewed and altered in AutoCAD®. This compatibility makes it simple to share both 2D and 3D files with a wide range of CAD users. Additionally, our Architectural Software incorporates all the capabilities of 4MCAD, which serves as a viable alternative to AutoCAD®, ensuring a versatile and comprehensive design experience. By combining user-friendly commands with powerful features, IDEA Architecture streamlines the transition from 2D to 3D design.

Description

The development of formwork, positioning, and shop drawings encompasses all essential features necessary for structural design, including associative dimensioning, level indicators, hatching, and various symbols. It includes layouts for steel bars and mesh suitable for any reinforcement scenario, ensuring seamless integration with AutoCAD, along with customizable settings to meet office standards through styles. It allows for the direct generation of schedules, supports user-defined shapes, and facilitates the export of existing reinforcements for calculations based on the second-order theory. The system also offers a polygonal mesh layout and macros designed for creating parametric members, with the Macros Module requiring detailing capabilities. Additionally, it provides comprehensive check, production, and layout plans specifically for BAMTEC customized reinforcement carpets. This functionality enables the fully automated generation of reinforcement carpets, includes all necessary drawings consolidated into a single file, allows for the subsequent arrangement of areas, and features extensive editing options for various area specifications, whether by value or by the diameter and number of bars. Moreover, users can easily modify the designs to accommodate specific project needs, ensuring maximum flexibility in their structural planning.
