CAL3D®
Block and brick layout software

CAL3D® is the BIM solution for the layout of structural blocks and bricks, shuttering blocks and integrated insulation blocks.

CAL3D® also allows the layout of floors, with slabs and beams, and the layout of roofs with insulated boxes.

PRODUCT DATABASE

CAL3D® comes with a database of blocks and bricks, categorized by manufacturer.

Each manufacturer is composed of ranges of blocks or bricks and each range contains different blocks:

  • Standard

  • Corner

  • Opening tableau and half tableau

  • Post

  • Chaining

  • Planelle

  • ....

Each product is defined by its geometric dimensions and technical characteristics.

 

CREATION OF THE PROJECT'S 3D MODEL

CAL3D® allows the easy creation of the 3D model of the project from IFC models, DWG/PDF plans or simply sketches.

 

Simple tools are available to create:

  • Floors

  • Walls

  • Roofs

  • Openings

 

The 3D model can be modified or adjusted according to product constraints.

 

CONFIGURATION

Through various configuration tools, it is possible to arrange all types of walls, floors, or roofs with any type of product.

​

Block Configuration

  • Standard Block

  • Angle Block

  • Opening Frame Block

  • Chainage Block

 

Opening Configuration

  • Roller Shutter Box

  • Lintels

  • Sills

WALL LAYOUT

The layout is generated automatically, considering:

  • Wall type

    • Rectangular

    • Gable

    • ...

  • Wall corner types

    • External

    • Internal

    • End wall

    • Intersecting walls

    • ...

  • Wall height

  • Openings

    • Window/door recess

    • Lintel

    • Sills

 

The calculation of block courses is automated or can be adjusted by selecting a predefined elevation (stacking of blocks).

LAYOUT OF FLOORS

​The layout of floors allows for the installation of hollow blocks (hourdis) and beams:

  • Selection of the hollow block-beam system

  • Selection of beam direction

 

It is also possible to layout areas of any shape.

LAYOUT OF ROOFS

The roof layout allows for the installation of insulating panels or all-in-one panels.
