CONCEPT
EliteCAD AR is produced as a model-orientated 3D CAD System. The model is directly linked to the
corresponding plans, sections and elevations.Any changes or definitions to the model can therefore be made in
any of the views, whether in plan or perspective view.The presentation of these plans is carried out according to
the required display quality and standards. In Switzerland the SIA400 standard is used, in Germany the DIN
1356, in Austrian the Standard of -Norm etc. You are able to create as many plans and modes of
representation of the constructed model.All the plans and views remain associatively linked with the model so
that any changes to the model its self will be transmitted to them all.

EliteCAD AR includes a fantastic render engine, which can render a photorealistic image of your project with
the simple click of a button. Perspective views, Facades with text and interior views are computed to a high
standard using a ray-tracing technology. The precise light distribution is calculated through the use of the
radiosity function and with this function creates realistic light conditions. If a change should be made to the
model, all the corresponding views, plans or mass-figures are automatically updated to match.

PRESENT YOU VISION IN 3D CAD MODEL

EliteCAD is based on parametric 3D building modelling. Parametric
technology allows complex 3D models to be constructed and modified
efficiently and in detail.The 3D building model is connected to all plans, so
that any changes that are made to plans or to the model are reflected in the
other and the resulting views are automatically updated.

PARAMETRIC 3D DATA MODEL

The Parametric is a technology in which all values of a component can be changed numerically or graphically and
subsequent or dependent parts are automatically updated. This allows the generating of complex 3D
components to be individual and simple. Following this; partial or total information of a component can be
transferred to a selection and adjacent components will react coherently to such changes.This results in a high
degree of planning flexibility and creative freedom. The application of this technology is widely used within
industrial production and is presently available within EliteCAD AR for planners and architects.

PLAN/MODEL ASSOCIATIVITY
In EliteCAD, the plan and the model are closely interrelated. Concentrate on the development of the 3D model
and use the resulting elevations, sections and plans, together with perspective drawings.You can however also
add information for the model in elevations, plans and sections and these will appear in the model and in the
resulting views.If you prefer to set up your project using plan views, this option is also open to you. Information
can be added to the plans on the relevant screens. EliteCAD automatically aligns all the information entered and
supplies the resulting values to the relevant views. Model and plan views therefore remain up to date at all times
and you have all options open to you for your individual planning methods.

PROJECT CHANGES ARE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED TO IMAGES

The benefits of integrated visualisation
With integrated visualisation in EliteCAD, you calculate accurate and convincing images with minimal
definition work.The direct connection of the visualisation function to the model allows project changes to be
automatically translated into image calculations.You can present your latest project status at any time with high
quality visualisations.

Effects
Radiosity and raytracing
Radiosity is an upstream light calculation that distributes the light to and within a building according to physical
properties and prepares it for the subsequent rendering process. For the calculation of light distribution, light
sources, sun and ambient light and emitting solids will be taken into account and communicated to the surfaces
concerned. During subsequent calculation with raytracing, all of the vectorial expansions, material and colour
definitions, any background images and the results from the radiosity calculation in the model are all used for
the photo-realistic image calculation.
Materials
When predefined material properties are assigned to
vectorial solids, these will be displayed realistically and true
to the material in the subsequent image calculation. Material
properties can contain pixel textures, colour values,
physical properties, surface values, etc. and be assigned to a
selection using drag & drop.
Textures
Any desired textures can be stored in the database with
standard graphic formats. Properties such as scaling, level of
stretching and repetition, angle of rotation and display filters
can be graphically defined and checked in a preview.
Colours
Standard colour values from the database in accordance
with M-NCS, M-RAL, RGB etc. and graphically supported
individual definition options mean absolutely any colour
choice can be catered for.
Interface properties
Gloss, mirror factors, refraction indexes, surface roughness,
transparency, etc. are just some of the properties that you
can assign to an interface in EliteCAD.
Special material properties
With bluescreen technology, pixel-based plants or persons
can be removed from their background and used in current
visualisations. A light-emitting functionality is available for
displaying of window strips, illuminated signs, etc.

Inovative Ideas and complex forms? EliteCAD provides the tools for your
implementation

Freeform technology for any design vocabulary

Freeform technology can be used to represent every
conceivable type of construction in three dimensions
and to show the display depths in plans.
Freeform surfaces
Freeform surfaces are defined using extensive boundary
curves. Even after definition, the freeform surface can
still be modified by dragging handles. You use freeform
surfaces to model soft shapes such as those required for
sofas, cushions, ground surfaces, sanitary equipment, etc.
Design solids
Design solids transform one polygon to a different
polygon via one route. The basic definitions of the
resulting solids can be modified with handles. For
example, you can use design solids to model ramps
and design objects.
Trans solids
Trans solids are defined via a polygon that follows a
path. Trans solids can be modified with handles on
their definition
lines. Trans solids allow you to define gutters and
custom railings, for examples.
Boolean operations
Forms cannot always be elegantly defined using direct
definitions. Complex solids can also be efficiently
created with Boolean operations by combining or
subtracting multiple 3D definitions. Boolean operations
are associatively structured, meaning that they
automatically respond to changes to the definition
solids.
Display depths also for freeform solids
After you have modelled a 3D solid, EliteCAD transfers
the correct representation of the solid to the plans. How
a solid is represented at the relevant scale is defined via
the settings for the display depth.

Graphic Quantity determination shows the reference quantities on the model

Graphic quantity determination based on the SQL database
Quantity determination by EliteCAD is based on a MySQL database and has bidirectionality from the model
through to the evaluation data. If you click on an element of the model, the resulting surfaces, lengths and
materials will be searched for in the database and highlighted on screen. If you select a value in the database, it will
be graphically displayed on the corresponding component of the model. For traceability purposes, the relevant
geometry is available. All of which gives you an ideal overview and means your evaluation data is very reliable.

Terrain Module
q The terrain module of EliteCAD allows point files in different formats to be

interpreted and converts them into a parametric 3D terrain model.

q Contour lines and points can be specified later on in the terrain module or

eliminated; the terrain module updates itself automatically.

q Terracing functions let you define steep embankments, retaining walls or even

points in the gradient.

q The road building function enables three-dimensional planning of roads and

paths on the terrain based on spline curves.

q

The excavation function enables the simulation of even the most complex
excavation situations with different angles of slope.

q The excavation volume is output numerically and can subsequently be

distributed on the terrain.

q Contour lines follow the defined equidistance, label themselves in order and

are displayed as curves.

q

The terrain module is fully integrated into EliteCAD and if required is also
represented in plans, sections, views, etc.

q We offer it as an add-on module. The terrain module is the ideal tool for

accurate planning of complex construction projects on difficult terrain.

Visualization
EliteCAD AR includes a professional visualization, with which internal and external perspectives as well as
faade views are rendered. Through the integration of visualization imagery is created, which always stays in
relation to the model, meaning that any change is automatically reflected in the model. Time and effort to apply
the definitions are saved since the materialisation is already within the building model. Extra material definitions
are simply applied to the model through drag and drop.

Light
The positioning of the light
sources and light distribution is a key
issue in the visualization, because it determines how close to reality the image will present itself. Sunlight, for
example assumes a particular geographical location, day, time of year, and the alignment to produce a realistic
representation.A hemisphere model simulates the diffused radiation, and the precise light distribution is calculated
through the use of radiosity.
