VisionREZ Builder
Powered by Autodesk® Technology, VisionREZ® is purpose-built for residential Building Information Modeling (BIM) with innovative solutions that are focused on areas most likely to enhance overall quality and performance.
Explore design concepts early in architectural development stages while coordinated 3D models and 2D construction documentation reduce errors and increase accuracy.
Schedules populate Bill of Material listings to aid cost estimates and 3D models are collaboratively shared with manufacturing solutions to increase efficiency and reduce waste. VisionREZ® will allow you to streamline work processes, deliver more accurate documents and higher-quality designs. From Concept to Production, VisionREZ® is designed to work the way you build.
2D drawing, 3D results 1 program!
The fast paced residential construction industry of today calls for design software with “out-of-the-box” usability, with an uncomplicated interface and simple set up. VisionREZ® achieves this by allowing users to build an accurate Building Information Model (BIM) with little more effort than it takes to draw a set of plans using traditional 2D CAD methods.
Intuitive project set-up
In VisionREZ®, wall styles, wall heights, trim styles and roof styles may be set. VisionREZ® includes a library of predefined window and door styles while providing the option to create your own, or download others. Standard templates save time and provide uniformity in drawing style across several users in one or multiple offices.
Bridging the gap with digital fabrication
Bridging the gap between architects and manufacturers is a groundbreaking solution for VisionREZ®. Capitalizing on BIM platform technology, Ameri-CAD and ITW are bringing digital fabrication for the light frame wood market to the Autodesk® design environment.
Key Features
|
Intelligent 2D
Create accurate 2D construction documents and reduce unnecessary repetitious manual user input. Continue to work in a familiar 2D AutoCAD environment while automatically generating a 3D model. Revisions and changes are coordinated throughout the model and documents, creating better designs, and greatly reducing errors and omissions. Coordinated 2D and 3D data Streamlined interface for fast tool access Custom 2D design and ceiling tools increase productivity Autodesk® DWF compatibility Generate 2D sections & elevations from floor plans |

Roof design Manage complex designs with the purpose-built residential roof object. Time consuming and problematic designs are simplified by a robust solution that provides complete roof manipulation. Quickly change roof pitches, wallplate heights and add trim for total roof design and development. Resolve complex roof geometry in seconds Select walls to create roofs Easily combine separate roofs Remove roof areas for manipulation and design efficiency Complete 2D / 3D roof manipulation |

Digital models Digital models bring designs to life for impressive presentations and can be readily viewed for design validation. Models provide the basis for creating photo-realistic graphic and animation deliverables for marketing and sales activities. Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow Maintain connectivity with 2D documents 3D Visualization increases accuracy |

Content Access an extensive collection of interior content. Quickly and easily insert content that automatically attaches to walls. Establish wall attachment distances, flip content and engage automatic interference and height adjustments. Relocating or deleting primary content automatically relocates or deletes associated content. Content can be customized to meet exact requirements. Residential specific content Automatically attach content to walls Customize content for individual needs 2D and 3D views |
|
|
Trim Attach trim to doors, windows, openings, VisionREZ® roof and more. Trim will automatically adjust as content it is attached to changes. Anchor trim together to edit start & end points and adjust the shape, width, depth, length or rotation. In addition, the user can access a system of trim designs that can be attached to doors, windows and openings or create custom trim and save it for future use. Extensive trim collection Customize or create new trim 2D and 3D trim functionality |

|
Bill of Materials Verify material cutting accuracy by quickly and accurately generating data for Bill of Materials (BOM) spreadsheets. Excel spreadsheets contain all raw data and the ability to match building objects to database products. You can include product numbers or accounting items in the database for integration with Autodesk® DWF files, accounting, and purchasing. Since changes are directly related to your model you can quickly and efficiently reflect new BOM information. Schedules are linked to your designs Update changes at the click of a button View coordinated models and bill of materials with the free Autodesk Design Review software |

Manufacturing link Populate your architectural model with hsbCAD® structural wood and steel framing data for wall panels´ trusses and more. hsbCAD® data can be linked to your CNC machines and to IntelliView® roof truss and floor system engineering software and I-Joists suppliers. The manufacturing-ready structural data can then be imported back into the original VisionREZ® architectural file. This is significant because it generates greater economies by reducing the need for redraw by the manufacturing community and reduces errors by coordinating all build data into a master file. Export models to manufacturing solutions Reduce manufacturing errors and re-draw Import manufactured data back into architectural model Create a single file for all build information |

|
Rendering visualizations Bring designs to life with integrated rendering capabilities. Quickly generate pre-construction exterior and interior visualizations from 3D Models to communicate realistic design ideas and information. Export models to Autodesk 3ds Max Design software for increased photo-realistic renderings and animations. Integrated 3D rendering capability Choose and customize materials for a perfect look Easily communicate rich design information Easy export to Autodesk 3ds Max Design software |
