In this installment, we are going to highlight the new PRO Multi Family Tool.
The PRO Multi Family Tool is an efficient and accurate way to combine individual models into a larger model and retain all parametric connections. In a multi-family example, a designer can create all the individual units of a project as separate models. Then when they are ready to start creating a model for a building, they can simply insert desired units into the master model to create the building.
Smart alignment tools allow for options such as offset, flip, and rotate while combining the separate units into the master model with precision.
Layer control is another time saving feature that has many benefits. Create multiple layers, copy layers, and even control visibility and select ability by layer. These features all maintain parametric 3D visibility.
More than simple copy and paste, these units retain their connection to the master model. This means that when the contractor changes window suppliers and the rough opening specification changes by a fraction of an inch, the designer only needs to change the unit model. These changes will automatically be carried across the building model.
With the newest panel design platform available, Eagle Metal is continuing to show its dedication to the industry providing dependable, efficient, and effective design and engineering software solutions. Empowering great component manufacturers to build more.
