Sandwich Panels

From the AGACAD website:

The definitive BIM solution for designing sandwich panel envelopes in Revit® models

AGACAD Sandwich Panels brings a collection of powerful features and top-notch automation for efficient modeling, data management, and output. Create coordinated, consistent, and complete model-based designs for paneling, framing, sheathing, detailing, scheduling, and more. Use Sandwich Panels to drive accuracy and time savings across the project lifecycle.

Sandwich Panels makes design and documentation fast and easy with real-time full project updates in Revit®. Plus it generates views with automatic dimensions for wall or roof panels or segments as well as accurate bills of materials and shop drawings. So quality production and accurate assembly on site are ensured.

Advanced automation and built-in best practices help BIM professionals make optimal choices, move much faster, and avoid errors at every stage – from design and documentation to fabrication and construction.

It’s easy to quickly batch-add, modify, or mark the right elements or parameters, distribute details, flexibly manage openings and connections, and find clashes. Distribution of sandwich panels dynamically updates and adapts, ensuring that shop drawings and cut lists are always accurate.

Compatible with Autodesk® Revit® 2022, 2021, 2020

Ideal for:

New and experienced Revit users, Revit technicians, architectural technicians, BIM consultants, coordinators, BIM managers and other BIM professionals.

Sandwich Panels is ideal for architectural and structural designers and also for builders and quantity surveyors who want to automate processes and save time and costs.

DESIGN

Sandwich Panels suite is ideal for modelling facades, roofs, and cladding of industrial facilities and commercial multistory buildings accurately and efficiently. The software greatly enhances the workflow by allowing for a database of configurations to account for varying wall and roof types. Unique detailing and panel distribution can be saved and re-used any time. Once modelling is complete, panels and additional elements are auto-generated. The result: an accurate BIM model ready for shop drawing preparation, quantity takeoffs, cost estimation, and even tendering.

DOCUMENT

Documentation for the entire building external envelope of sandwich panels, supporting framework and fixings can be generated with ease. Views, title blocks, tags, dimensions, and schedules are all produced effortlessly with the Create Assembly command. Drawings with applied graphics settings can be automatically generated for individual panels or entire wall/roof assemblies.

COLLABORATE

Our Cut Opening application – included as a feature of the Sandwich Panels suite – facilitates team collaboration by pinpointing where MEP services, supporting structural components, and insulated sandwich panels clash; creating openings; and inserting the necessary components for all MEP services and building structures at the relevant intersections throughout the Revit model.

CONSTRUCT

With Sandwich Panels, it’s easy to plan fluent transportation and installation of sandwich panels on any building structure. Having a final BIM model that is as accurate as possible means precise quantity takeoffs and panel cuts, so assembly on site is more efficient, less costly, and less wasteful. Additionally, our Panel Packer add-in enables to optimize manufacturing and logistics, helping to reduce time, costs, and CO2 emissions.
