If you can ENVISION it, you can make it happen.  There has been a revolutionary breakthrough in the way designers, builders, and manufacturers will create, manipulate, and manage architectural, engineering, and construction information - Cadsoft's new Envisioneer technology.

Envisioneer Introduces Active Building Elements

Using a virtual, intelligent, three-dimensional building model, Envisioneer far surpasses the limitations of simple traditional graphical objects used by other programs.  Envisioneer's pioneering advance means that, for the first time, drawing objects are aware of their surroundings, and behave accordingly.

Envisioneer's Connected Associative Behavioral engine allows elements and drawing elements to be aware of their surroundings and to react and behave according to their building applications.

Not only are doors and windows associated to the walls but also so are structural elements such as floors ceilings, roofs, footings, members, and columns.  This delivers unparalleled power as a simple command of moving a wall unit will update all the associated building elements that are connected saving valuable editing time and saving costly mistakes.

Features include:

• Structural connectivity between walls, ceilings, and floors.

• Collision Control - elements cannot occupy another elements space.

• Auto-wall fusion.

• auto-alignment of elements.

• Elements inserted on floors remain associated to floors.

• Elements inserted on terrain remain associated with terrain.

• Sinks automatically remain associated with cabinets.

• Railings associated with stairs remain connected.

• Skylights inserted into roofs remain associated.

Envisioneer allows you to work in the manner in which you are most comfortable.  For the traditionalist, working in plan view creates a 3D model at all times when you draw your structure.  For the advanced, Envisioneer can create and edit in full 3D view giving you instant visual feedback at all times during your design process.

One of Envisioneer's most important features is it's ability to write to the native DWG format for use with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.  This provides the compatibility needed to work with the industry-standard file format - a feature that Cadsoft has become famous for.
