Construction

Smart drawing elements

The Construction module includes a massive number of smart drawing elements to automate routine operations like layout generation, sectioning, and detailing of buildings.

Database of parametric elements
Technical specifications editor
Breaks for hiding underlying geometry
Designation of permanent joints
Ground borders
Level marks
View and section designations
Notes

Smart drawing and editing utilities

The Construction module turns entities that look like tables (lines and text) into table objects. It offers utilities for automatically numbering drawing objects, increasing and decreasing selected areas, and creating custom objects with parametric properties.

Define custom hatch patterns in *.pat files
Draw fully customized arrays of objects
Create and calculate plate arrays
Design hole charts
Perform advanced calculations using the built-in calculator
Carry out static beam calculations
Calculate geometric properties of user-defined sections

Powerful table editor

The Construction module features a very powerful built-in table editor that generates tables of any complexity. Users can convert tables imported from other CAD programs to nanoCAD’s own format. As well, it recognizes tables made from primitives. Tables offer the following functions:

In-place editing of tables
Pencil sketching in cells
Cell styles that specify text styles, alignments, line weights, value rounding
Table headers and footers
Calculations between cells
Direct interaction with Clipboard, Excel, and Open Office

Automatic reports

The Construction module creates reports from lists, specifications, and object data in drawings. Reports access data extracted from objects, architectural components, design elements, blocks with attributes, and the Construction module’s library of parts. There is no need to worry that reports might be not up to date.

Generate analyses directly from rooms in drawings
Automatically update reports as properties of objects change
Save reports as templates for use in other drawings to generate the same kinds of reports and analyses
Functions are available to all users, with no programming needed

Architectural layouts

The Construction module lays out building plans using discipline-specific tools and objects:

Straight and arc-shaped walls that join automatically
Custom templates for walls that define geometry, attributes, and multi-layer (ply) construction properties
Walls edited with trim, break, and join commands, or by using grips
Insertion of windows and doors using the built-in database of components
Lay out rooms and spaces on plans, with customized space attributes and composition
Automatic calculation and creation of room analyses and lists of compositions
Insertion of interior elements using a database of templates
Generating 3D models and IFC-format documentation with the Project Manager
