OpenBuildings™ Station Designer Help

What is Architectural discipline?

Specifically developed for professionals in the architectural field, Architectural disciplineautomates all phases of the architectural design and production workflow process, from conceptual design to construction documentation. This application provides a common technology platform and consistent user interface, to integrate key activities for 3D Building design and modeling, design visualization, 2D drafting and drawing production, and report generation and object management.

Architectural discipline is based on the Integrated Project Model concept; a concept where an intelligent 3D Building model is the single source for all data input and output. Design modeling and design revisions are made to the integrated project model, and all model updates and data extractions are made from the same model.

This Building application enables you to maintain a strategy that addresses various essential project life cycle needs, including:

  • Space planning and mass modeling determinations that occur in the beginning stages of a project.
  • Production-oriented activities that occur during modeling and the design development stage including placement of walls, doors, and windows.
  • Drawing, schedule, and report extraction that occurs throughout the life cycle of a project, and beyond.
