OpenBuildings™ Station Designer Help

OpenBuildings Station Designer Focus

OpenBuildings Station Designer enables you to address essential project needs such as:

  • Pedestrian simulation, integral to station design, is provided with the inclusion of LEGION Model Builder with your OpenBuildings Station Designer install.
  • Mass modeling and space planning that occur in the early stages of their projects.
  • Production of the design model including placement of structures, walls, windows, doors, casework, HVAC systems and components, and electrical systems and components.
  • A ready to use catalog of station specific furniture, fixtures and equipment (e.g. ticket kiosks, gate turnstiles, passenger information displays).
  • Computational Design Templates ​to generate station assets relative to linear alignments utilizing parametric design and change-propagation supporting exploration of design alternatives.
  • Geographic Coordination ​provides design coordination with OpenRail Designer and OpenRoads Designer utilizing the geographic coordinate system.
  • Production of project documentation such as drawings, schedules and reports throughout the project life cycle and beyond.
  • Analysis capabilities ensure the building is structurally sound, energy efficient, and meets the architectural requirements created by its designers.
  • Simulation capabilities such as energy analysis and clash detection for construction review and identify design deficiencies within the building model early in the design process.
  • Supports the design of large, complex, and distributed models, and provides integrated visualization with the Luxology rendering engine.
