Hi everyone!
I'm new to AECOsim Building Designer -actually to all Bentley products- and in need of a few answers.
Our company makes 3D models of laserscanned buildings and is planning on using AECOsim for this. Is the program appropriate for this purpose? I mean does it provide any plus or easy way to model heritage buildings -a castle for example-, which have walls with changing cross-sections, bending floor slabs because of sinking, vaulted ceilings, etc? So far I have been trying out the tools and don't know if I can place a wall for example with not parallel faces.
The method I can think of now is to place a regular wall and cut it with solids, but it would be twice the work and the wall would lose the "separatet" area data (meaning right side area, left side area, etc).
The same problem with vaulted floors. Is it possible to make an arched vault with the floor slab tool? Like drawing a space or a shape then place the floor slab with flood.
So our main goal with ABD is to develop a fast modeling method that handles unique building elements and structure irregularities. As I see it's the opposite direction it was made for...
