Available now: Allplan 2009 Timber Construction
Munich, 24. August 2009 - Allplan 2009 Timber Construction, the integrated solution for planning, production and machine control in timber construction from Nemetschek Allplan and Weto AG, is available now. The application links solid construction and timber construction in an integrated system. User-friendly operation and timber construction-specific functions enable timber designs to be created from Allplan. As a result, designers can extend their area of application and benefit from higher productivity.
Customers choose between three different modules, which build on each other: Planning, Production and Machine Control.
The Planning Module enables beamwork, half-timber, timber framework, block and solid wood construction to be modeled, as well as free timber designs. Users have numerous functions, which they can use to create wall definitions and the related corner connections for up to 10 layers. In addition, beams and custom timber components can be created in any plane enabling the input of complex designs suitable for carpenters. To make contradictions and changes visible in the model, users can visualize each planning step at the touch of a button. They are also able to determine accurate quantities and masses for tendering.
In the Production Module, the building information is prepared in such a way that it can be transferred to joiners or sawmills, enabling all trimming operations to be carried out. Timber lists can be produced in accordance with country-specific rules for timber constructions, as can component drawings and wall elevations with the relevant dimensions for the optimum cut.
The Machine Control module enables the timber construction project to be transferred to a CNC-controlled production plant. At the moment, the software supports CNC plants from Hundegger, Schmidler, Weinmann and Auer; further control systems are possible on request. An integrated collision control permits a smooth production process and fault-free assembly: If a post was put in the wrong place, for example, this is automatically marked in the system.
Availability in Germany and internationally
All three modules are available with immediate effect in Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Russia, Switzerland, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Hungary as well as in the English version.
