Automatically create coverings modeled as native Archicad walls & slabs.
Description
Set up wall, floor & ceiling coverings with native Archicad wall and slab tools. In the end you have your rooms with coverings modeled as built. Ready for quantity take-off and visualization.
Overview
Let's take a plaster finish. There is no built-in modeling workflow to get all three:
- the correct plaster amount during quantity take-offs and
- correct visualizations of the plaster at different LODs
- and schedules for those finishes by zone
With the Room Coverings add-on though, you can achieve this by creating separate covering elements. This separate elements have the following advantages:
- Correct volume take-off
- Visualization options for coverings at different LODs
- Scheduling coverings separately
- Assign separate renovation statuses to coverings
- Reduce number of composites in your projects
- Show room areas with and without plaster
Key Capabilities
- Simple update functionality when underlying room geometry changes
- Creates automatic holes in coverings (with optional reveal coverings) for windows & doors
- Support for column coverings
- Floor and ceiling coverings
Who it's for?
- Architects
- Civil Engineers
Typical workflows
- The structural walls of e.g. a long hotel hallway can be modeled as long continuous walls.
Later the coverings inside of hotel rooms can be created with the add-on all at once. - Modeling of suspended ceilings as separate slab ceiling coverings.
- Modeling of floor construction via separate slab floor coverings.
