BIM DESIGN
Vertex BD features the industry's most powerful architectural and 3D design tools with feature-based building objects and an object based environment making design changes easy to handle. Designed with a powerful interactive 3D environment directly connected to the 2D layer, many operations can be performed faster, easier, and with more accuracy. Working simultaneously in 2D and 3D allows you the ability to quickly switch between models and drawings even in the middle of an operation and to view your project in any projection or elevation view.
CUSTOMIZABLE PLATFORM
Vertex BD is an extremely flexible CAD software platform that can revolutionize how your company utilizes your architectural drawings and models and streamline your operations. We deliver tools that are designed to fit the way you work, making your design process more flexible, efficient and productive.

WALL FRAMING & PANELIZATION*
Framing rules, details, wall heights, material lengths, optimum panel lengths are defined by the user in the system's relational database. Based on these settings, the system calculates the studs, plates, sills and complete opening assemblies automatically panelizing the walls. Once panelized, the system generates detailed elevations and plate drawings which can be opened, modified and saved with the cutting list information automatically being updated. This guarantees framing components will be compatible with the rest of the plan and every component will fit in place at the construction site reducing delays and speeding up the entire construction process. Also generated, is an optimized minimum waste cutting list based upon material types and dimensions defined by the user. Output formats can be modified by the customer to conform to existing production standards. The system can also be designed to interface with manufacturing and production equipment to provide high levels of automation for manufactured building companies.

FLOOR FRAMING*
Floor framing layouts are based on the framing parameters defined by the user and the floor deck areas drawn. The joist layout and cutting schedule are automatically generated and all components are labeled. Layouts can be easily customized by inserting, cutting, trimming and deleting pieces. These powerful and productive design tools allow you to provide your subcontractors with detailed floor joist layout drawings and cutting information, helping them to frame the floor with the minimum waste of materials.

ROOF FRAMING*
VertexBD can generate both roof truss and rafter layouts. Roof framing layouts work similarly to floor framing as layouts and schedules are automatically generated, can be easily modified similarly, and all components are labeled. Roof truss profile drawings are generated based on the geometry of the walls, ceilings and roofs. The 3D model allows you to verify and adjust the roof framing components to be compatible with the other parts of the building – a good example of the quality capabilities VertexBD provides.
TOWNHOUSE DESIGN
Multi-family units are easy to handle in Vertex BD, using unique project referencing tools that help you to manage each unit seperately, and bring them together to create your final building layout.
MATERIALS & ESTIMATING
Material take-offs, optimized cut lists and any other required reports can be generated instantaneously through the use
of the system's relational database based on the current status of the plans. The system optimizes materials and tracks
all waste or unused material. This material is monitored and if a use can be found for it the system will then pull that
material from the waste file and use it. Through this process significant material savings can be achieved.
CONNECTIONS TO OTHER DATA SYSTEMS
An extensive range of transfer formats IGES; DWG, DXF, MI, VDA/FS, STL, SAT. According to the ACIS® standard, the .SAT file is shared by
many of the most popular CAD systems and CAM programs giving a wide variety of ways of integrating companies’ different data systems
with production control, materials and store management, and operation control systems.
HOUSE OPTIONS MANAGER**
Reach a new level of design efficiency and convenience with the Options Management System. Your structural options are created in the same model as your base design, enabling you to "assemble" endless configurations. The resulting model is complete, with connected componenets and it ready for further customization. The Options System handles: elevations, roof configurations, wall heights, stretch options, room layouts, nested-options, logic controls, trim options and site specific plan sets.
MASTER SETS**
Create master sets indicating all options and their
combinations available for a particular project. You can have an option
combination presolved whenever you want, then add the completed drawings to
the master set drawing sheets. While solving an combination, option
combination-specific material databases are created. Using these databases, you
can run material reports later of the different option combinations of the
model.
VISUALIZATION / RENDERING**
The Visualization/Rendering module provides a truly interactive means to present products to potential customers. This module takes advantage of its integration with VertexBD by using the information generated in the 3D model to help assist the sales and marketing efforts of the company.
VertexBDs' Visualization/Rendering module uses Lightworks Rendering System which allows the creation of photo-realistic colors, textures, materials and highly accurate renderings. For added realization, the customer can "walk through" the finished house to get a sense of how the finished spaces flow and interconnect.
 
ADVANCED MODELER**
Design part models, assembly models and drawings using basic
functions for 2D drawing and 3D modeling. Dimensional constraints can be added to the model to define variables for additional control. Add these custom designed models to any macro component database in Vertex BD for use in your projects.
PUBLISHER**
The WWW Publisher allows publishing of documents created during the design work in a folder or on a printer in
different file formats. If you use a Vertex BD application with the DesignStream
Interface add-on feature, you can publish documents to DesignStream as well.
2020 ADVANTAGE INTERFACE**
Coming Soon.
Manufacturing Automation**
Vertex makes all manufacturing data available for integration with automated equipment. Connect your designs with automated saws and printers, panel assembly equipment, laser projection systems, scheduling,
or inventory control systems.
