: Simplifies the placement of smart electrical symbols and automatically generates the corresponding electrical schedules.
Tasks that normally require hours of manual 2D drafting—such as drawing roof flashings, detailing complex window frames, or updating keynote indexes—are reduced to a few clicks. Reduced Documentation Errors
Electrical components (switches, outlets, data ports) "stick" to walls and automatically adjust their 3D height based on preset standards.
Swiftly place switches, outlets, and light fixtures. CADimage Tools Plugins For Archicad 19
The suite's specialized tools for doors, windows, keynotes, cabinetry, coverings, stairs, and documentation work together seamlessly, creating a cohesive environment that elevates Archicad 19 beyond its native capabilities. While the software is now legacy, the efficiency gains it provides make it a worthwhile addition to any architectural practice's toolkit.
Automatically generate complex roof flashings, gutters, downpipes, and soffit linings that track the geometry of your roof structure. 5. CADimage Electrical
The you are designing (e.g., residential housing, commercial interiors) : Simplifies the placement of smart electrical symbols
Beyond the major tools, the CADimage suite included several other powerful utilities. The tool improved 3D modeling capabilities, allowing users to manipulate and form their own objects directly in the 3D workspace. The Transformer tool and various Electrical plugins provided intuitive solutions for placing intelligent electrical symbols and managing their schedules, ensuring that even the most detailed project data remained consistent and coordinated.
Export precise cut lists and material volumes directly from the structural model. 4. CADimage Coverings
In the realm of Building Information Modeling (BIM), efficiency, precision, and depth of detail are the cornerstones of a successful project. Graphisoft’s Archicad 19 marked a significant milestone in BIM history, introducing industry-first background processing for faster performance and predictive engineering capabilities. However, even with a robust core platform, architects often require specialized tools to streamline highly specific design and documentation tasks. Swiftly place switches, outlets, and light fixtures
Much faster than modelling custom cabinets with standard morphs or simple library parts. 4. CADimage Stairs
: Simplifies the application of 2D and 3D claddings like sidings, gutters, and downspouts to walls and roofs.
Do not install CADimage Tools versions meant for ArchiCAD 20 or newer. The API (Application Programming Interface) changed significantly with ArchiCAD 20’s introduction of the new Surface Catalog.
