Product Key Customer Benefits
Foundation delivers the technologies necessary for architects and engineers to conduct their professional work in a fully integrated 3D environment.
Foundation supports highly accurate geometric modeling from wireframe and surface modeling through feature based solid geometry. Knowledgeware parametric modeling capabilities are integral to all Digital Project technologies. Geometric modeling operations can be defined schematically by specifying relationship geometries, and then extended with additional parametric geometry. Geometric dimensions can be refined without redrawing.
Foundation includes the Architecture and Structures workbench, which addresses schematic and detailed design, with special focus on collaboration between architects and engineers and on interoperability, through the native adoption of standards such as IFC.
Foundation includes Digital Project's attribute modeling capabilities, allowing building professionals to overlay project geometry with a rich set of construction information. Foundation delivers Uniformat and CSI attribute schemas in support of cost estimates and specification references, as well as attributes for quality control, and utilities for user extensions of attribute schema.
