3D Models

All of our plansets include full 3D Models of all the major components of each structure. We first create a solid model of the entire structure in Solidworks to ensure that everything fits together correctly and to visually check the aesthetics of our designs. Based on the solid models we then create the planset using a combination of views from Solidworks and detail drawings rendered in Autocad. The 3D models are exported from Solidworks to the eDrawings format which can be viewed with the free eDrawings Viewer available from Solidworks below:

The eDrawings viewer allows you to rotate and zoom in to any particular feature of the model and investigate it further. The measure feature allows you to accurately measure any component within the model to aid in its construction. Assemblies can be further dissected by opening their constituent parts in a separate viewing window. Annotations can be noted on the drawing and then saved and printed for further reference in the field.
