Functionality Highlights

Import 3D building designs from all major BIM tools
Importing of several IFC and DWG files into one SMC model
Importing a new version of the same IFC file
Importing of model direct from ArchiCAD 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0

Native colors retained or optionally selectable and adjustable color schemas per design discipline
Dynamic model update

Automated checking and analysis of the building design
Highlighting potential design issues in the 3D visualization model
Classification of design issues into three groups based on severity
Enables user to define customized rules for model checking
Automated space analysis and measurement
Quantity takeoff with optional integration with cost estimation systems
Zone management
Sophisticated algorithm for defining escape routes of the building
Intelligent clash checking based on components’ design discipline and type, and severity of the clash
Accessibility rules
Model version comparison
Conformity between Architectural and Structural models including reasoning for walls and slabs modeled with beams and columns in structural model
