In engineering and planning, highly detailed CAD and BIM models provided by manufacturers often consume significant computing resources, even though users typically only require information such as connection dimensions, installation spaces, and clearance zones. At the same time, manufacturers face the challenge of protecting proprietary product knowledge. By using simplified, parametric CAD and BIM models, both requirements can be effectively addressed. Geometric data in 2D or 3D is prepared within a system-independent data source and then made available across all major CAD and BIM platforms. This approach reduces repetitive engineering effort for manufacturers while enabling customers to quickly and easily access the information they need for efficient design and planning.
Based on parametric 3D models, your product is visualized as it will later be installed. This combination gives your customers the certainty that they are configuring the ideal product.
Say goodbye to long loading times and unnecessary data clutter. Streamline and accelerate your configuration processes with lean CAD data while keeping your valuable product knowledge securely protected.
Offer your customers the option of exporting many different 2D/3D formats from a single database and mapping them efficiently and optimized for various CAD/BIM target systems.
One for all! Thanks to parametric modeling, you can generate virtually unlimited product variations from a single base model in real time during the configuration process.
When the result of a configuration is not intended to function as a standalone end product but as part of a complex application, precision becomes essential. The prerequisite: every component must be represented in the CAD model exactly as it will be manufactured later. To ensure that this level of detail does not slow down your configuration process, you should take full advantage of parametric modeling. We create simplified models based on existing CAD data to make them available to users for download.
In addition to geometric data, BIM models contain attributes that enrich the model with manufacturer and product information. To optimize digital building design and planning, we rely on the automated creation and management of BIM models from a single data source. In addition to supporting BIM platforms such as Revit, Archicad, and Allplan, our solution can output all major CAD formats, including DWG, DXF, STEP, Parasolid, and the IFC standard, ensuring maximum interoperability across planning and design environments. Interfaces to PIM systems allow all product attributes to be transferred to the model at runtime.
Error-free CAD data is an absolute must-have for creating precise 3D representations – especially when your customers use the product data in planning and design. We support you in the creation of simplified, parametric models of your products. After analyzing your data, we create the image standards for your components and record your product logic as the basis for correct configuration.
Whether for price transmission to your ERP system, for transferring geometry data and product information to your PIM system, for preparing quotations to your CRM system or directly connected to existing configuration and e-commerce solutions: We use the data from your existing systems so that you only have to maintain them in one place and can seamlessly transfer relevant information from our solutions back to the latter.
With 4PACE CADClick, you take the configuration of highly customizable products to a new level! Our software enables components and assemblies to be intelligently combined and assembled. Exporting data to a wide range of CAD and BIM formats ensures fast and seamless integration into planning and design systems.
Thanks to parametric, system-independent modeling based on a single data source, all product variations can be generated accurately and without errors, ensuring consistency and efficiency throughout the entire process. Checks for buildability are no longer necessary, which relieves your employees and your customers are served immediately.
