ALLEN, Texas, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameri-CAD, Inc. - An ITW Company, has announced their new features for the release of VisionREZ Version 7. Powered by Autodesk Technology, VisionREZ creates a Building Information Model (BIM) for efficient development of 3D Models, 2D Construction Documents, Framing, Graphic Renderings and Bill of Materials (BOM) deliverables. VisionREZ Version 7 provides even more power and value to the residential industry with over thirty-five new features and enhancements.
BRIDGING THE GAP WITH DIGITAL FABRICATION
Bridging the Gap between the architectural and manufacturing industries is a groundbreaking industry solution for this new release. "Increasing economic pressures place greater value on the benefits of manufactured solutions in the residential and light commercial construction industries. Capitalizing on the power of the AutoCAD platform, ITW is bringing Digital Fabrication for the light frame wood market to the Autodesk design environment. Users can now export a VisionREZ architectural model to ITW BCG manufacturing solutions (Intellibuild, View, hsbCAD) for Structural modeling of wall panels and trusses. The manufacturing-ready structural data can then be imported back into the original VisionREZ architectural DWG file. This is significant because it generates greater economies by eliminating the need for redraw by the manufacturing community and reduces errors by coordinating all build data into a master file," said Jay Moore, Business Development Manager for Ameri-CAD, Inc. - An ITW Company.
