A.Doc presents Batimat with the latest version of its BIM design software for timber frame projects

An intuitive and unequaled all-in-one solution for BBC and wood construction

Aimed at timber architecture professionals who wish to configure their timber frames very precisely, both for new builds or renovations and for timber extensions, this new version 16 brings unprecedented ease and power of work which will once again revolutionize the how to draw and create user projects, whether beginners or experienced.

Timber frame builders are looking for special features that traditional building design software does not have. Initially based on the Architecture version, open to all construction principles, Envisioneer 16 Construction Bois integrates all the useful functions for configuring such structures, including:

• Parametric 3D tools.
• Ultra-precise setting functions for all components and the framework.
• Immediate identification and automatic display of structural plans.
• A 2D drawing board.
• A parametrized library of construction solutions oriented BBC & passive modes.
• A field module.

The user therefore saves precious time thanks to the catalog of walls, floors, roofs already configured. Then, he can easily modify these objects to adapt them to his construction methods. Indeed, the Envisioneer Construction Bois software has, by means of a new interface, a power of configuration to record and modify all the assembly details of the frames (wood or metal), as well as the edition of each particular work. The user therefore significantly reduces the operating time of the project from sketch to manufacturing: definition of sections and their center distances, position of spacers, configuration of angles, ultra-fine editing of wall intersections, complete configuration of carriers such as as lintels, beams and their fallout, installation rules, etc.

In addition, the BIM model of the project designed in Envisioneer 16 Wood Construction can be directly read outside because of its compatibility with thermal study software, in order to analyze its bioclimatic performance and verify its compliance. regulatory.

In its new version, Envisioneer 16 Timber Construction pushes the limits of timber frame design and manufacturing even further.

A new version to easily and automatically create wood panel plans in 1 click

With the arrival of the new revolutionary “FABRICATION” module, integrated into the CAD software Envisioneer Construction Bois v16, all professionals in wood construction, architecture and building will be able to considerably reduce the time required for the creation and the configuration of plans for wooden wall sections.

Indeed, until now, the creation of the plans necessary for the manufacture of the frame panels of a detached house could last two days or more. Today, thanks to this module, this repetitive task is carried out simply with a single click. The manufacturing plans are obtained very easily and in record time, and include for each:

• A front view and a top view of the panel accompanied by precise dimensions.
• The cut list detailing the lengths and quantities of each of the parts required.

In addition, and to complete it all, the software integrates a whole battery of key functions that will make it easier to set up timber frame projects:

• 3D model presentable on any mobile.
• Improved framing controls.
• Increased interoperability with BIM.
• New truss objects in 3D.
• Immediate partial quantitative on right click.
• Improved graphical presentation in 2D.
