Planworks BIM Technology
Planworks ulitilizes a number of BIM systems to create and present its BIM models & plans. Below are a few of these tools used by Planworks.
Graphisoft Archicad
ARCHICAD is an architectural BIM CAD software developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft.
ARCHICAD offers computer aided solutions for handling all common aspects of aesthetics and engineering during the whole design process of the built environment — buildings, interiors, urban areas, etc.
Development of ARCHICAD started in 1982 for the original Apple Macintosh. Following its launch in 1987, with Graphisoft's "Virtual Building" concept, ARCHICAD became regarded by some as the first implementation of BIM.
ARCHICAD has been recognized as the first CAD product on a personal computer able to create both 2D and 3D geometry, as well as the first commercial BIM product for personal computers and considered "revolutionary" for the ability to store large amounts of information within the 3D model. Today, it has over 120,000 users.
Cadimage Extension Tools
Indispensable tools to unleash ARCHICAD – Designed and built by architects, for architects.
Enscape Realtime Render
Enscape is a 3D real time rendering plugin that creates stunning visualizations with one click. The generated walk throughs can be viewed in virtual reality or even exported into a video within seconds. With the addition of RPC support in Enscape, the visual detail level reaches a quality that was never achievable from inside the CAD environment. This allows for faster design iterations with less preparation time thanks to instantaneous presentations.
Trimble On-line Model Viewer
On-line Interactive 3D Models.
Align your team with robust collaboration tools. Add comments to files, tasks, and 3D models, share versioned data packages for review, classify information with tags, and establish connected issue management workflows across Trimble and external applications.
Masterspec Specification Tool
Masterspec libraries are genre-specific collections chosen from our complete database of over 880 sections. Suitable for Architect and Engineers, Landscapers and Interior Designers, the libraries are structured in consultation with experienced industry professionals to meet current specification needs.
3DVISTA On-line Panorama Tours
