For complex constructions, such as curtain walling, WICONA has created its own specific piece of software: WIC3D.
Overview
WIC3D is an intuitive and innovative BIM sketching tool which has been specially designed for architects, specifiers and fabricators, saving time in producing 3D drawings and 3D rendered models.
Once the initial design has been created, in Sketchup® for example, architects can send it to the WIC3D software. Once uploaded, projects can be brought to life using WICONA products, which are integrated into the software. Once any changes have been made, architects can reintegrate them into their design. This same data can be used within WICTOP, the technical costing and design software.
Fonctionalities
Create
- WIC3D has been developed following consultation with leading architects.
- Using the software, designers can quickly sketch initial concepts and ideas, including complex shapes, with ease. Any design can incorporate WICONA WICTEC curtain walling, WICLINE sliding systems, WICLINE window and WICSTYLE door infills.
- Within WIC3D, specifiers can create simple product renders at the earliest project design stages.
Visualise
- Architects have the capability to visualise any project to scale, built using WICONA products, thus improving accuracy and saving time.
- Specifiers can see how projects will look both internally and externally, including proportions, configurations and any relevant product options (open and closed vents etc).
Communicate
- WIC3D is designed to integrate with architectural CAD systems so 2D and 3D drawings can be imported and exported.
- A 3D construction created in SketchUp® can be imported into WIC3D to produce and show a 3D rendered model where required.
- A 2D elevation drawing can be imported as a template to create a 3D rendered model; and can be exported for use with all majorCAD software, including AutoCAD®, Bentley®, Archicad® and ADT®.
- 3D rendered models can be exported for use with SketchUp® or in 3DS format to work with Autodesk 3D Studio Max®.
