The definitive BIM solution for designing sandwich panel envelopes in Revit® models

DESIGN

Sandwich Panels suite is ideal for modelling facades, roofs, and cladding of industrial facilities and commercial multistory buildings accurately and efficiently. The software greatly enhances the workflow by allowing for a database of configurations to account for varying wall and roof types. Unique detailing and panel distribution can be saved and re-used any time. Once modelling is complete, panels and additional elements are auto-generated. The result: an accurate BIM model ready for shop drawing preparation, quantity takeoffs, cost estimation, and even tendering.

DOCUMENT

Documentation for the entire building external envelope of sandwich panels, supporting framework and fixings can be generated with ease. Views, title blocks, tags, dimensions, and schedules are all produced effortlessly with the Create Assembly command. Drawings with applied graphics settings can be automatically generated for individual panels or entire wall/roof assemblies.

COLLABORATE

With additional use, our Cut Opening application facilitates team collaboration by pinpointing where MEP services, supporting structural components, and insulated sandwich panels clash; creating openings; and inserting the necessary components for all MEP services and building structures at the relevant intersections throughout the Revit model.

CONSTRUCT

With Sandwich Panels, it’s easy to plan fluent transportation and installation of sandwich panels on any building structure. Having a final BIM model that is as accurate as possible means precise quantity takeoffs and panel cuts, so assembly on site is more efficient, less costly, and less wasteful. Additionally, our Panel Packer add-in enables to optimize manufacturing and logistics, helping to reduce time, costs, and CO2 emissions.
