Real estate developer Baltisches Haus hired AGACAD to oversee the BIM work in its 6.5-million-euro project for an environmentally friendly “shopping centre of the future”. The building, which opened this year, has won BIM awards and helped AGACAD advance with its new BIMAXON platform for buildings with AI.

Client Profile	Baltisches Haus UAB is a real estate developer founded by Belgian investors in 1995 in Lithuania to support a major Baltic retail chain. Now independent, the company manages 264,000 sq. m. at 94 commercial properties in 37 cities. Its values include ethics, innovation and sustainable modern buildings.

AGACAD’s unstoppable R&D team just added even more great features for framing rafter systems in Revit® to the Wood Framing Roof and Metal Framing Roof solutions. New functionality lets you easily lay out OSB or metal sheathing, place hip, valley and ridge caps, add drip edges, and more.

“We’ve extended our Roof+ tool to automate the design and documentation of any standard roof for assembly on site.

Heads up! We'll host another roof framing webinar at the end of June — stay tuned!

Have you browsed the Autodesk App Store recently? As of this week, other tools of ours – Smart Assemblies & Smart Details – can now be downloaded from the App Store!

There are two things you need to know about our software for framing timber and steel roofs in Revit.

FIRST, the roof framing solutions now include Truss+ (for truss structures) and Roof+ (for rafters & prefabricated roofs).

SECOND, creating rafter roofs automatically in Revit® models is much smoother and more intuitive than ever. Without further ado, let's check out all the new features you can use!

At the Precast Show a few months ago in Denver, we had the pleasure of meeting Michael Gustafson, Industry Strategy Manager for Structural Engineering at Autodesk®. He's written up his own summary of the show along with his takeaways – and AGACAD's Precast Concrete BIM Solution is one of them.

We're looking forward to The Precast Show 2019!

Since MEP Hangers has been entirely revamped, we're hosting a webinar to show how it improves productivity in Revit, from laying out supports and hangers in your Revit project to exporting to a Total Station.

From here...	..to there!

Our BIM application engineer will walk through a building model and show tons of new features at your disposal. Definitely worth attending!

In this webinar, we'll show the latest enhancements made to the Rafter framing module that is now part of our Wood & Metal Roof framing software. Now creating rafters automatically is much smoother and more intuitive, just as it has always been for walls, floors, and prefabricated roofs. The powerful Rafter tool seamlessly automates the roof splitting and framing process: split a roof by faces and then frame it with Roof + (Wood version, Metal version).

Join our webinar and see how to:

• Automatically split roofs by faces according to any architectural roof shape;
• Define detailed, multi-layer timber/steel rafters for roof framing in a snap using fully customizable rules and templates;
• Automate shop drawings, including sorting, tagging, dimensioning and scheduling of all frames and their elements.

MEP Hangers has been remade to give you more options, greater flexibility, more functions, and increased speed in laying out hangers and supports throughout your Revit MEP model. The software has been totally revamped to make new workflows possible. Plus it's got a sweet new interface.

Here's what you need to know in order to use the new MEP Hangers to its full potential.
