Description

PatternMaker serves as the main application for designing patterns, allowing users to create and subsequently export them into digital files that can be shared online like any other file. This program comes in various versions to accommodate different user needs. MacroGen is the accompanying tool that facilitates the creation of these exported files, referred to as macros. These macros can be tailored with various measurements, enabling users to adjust the patterns for a perfect fit. Execution of these macros requires the PatternMaker software. (Many software applications, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, also support macros in a format suitable for sharing.) Therefore, to utilize a macro, one must have access to PatternMaker. Additionally, Collection Creator takes multiple macros and organizes them into a cohesive collection, which could consist of themed items like a selection of summer dresses. This functionality not only enhances the user experience but also allows for streamlined design processes across various projects.

Description

The development of formwork, positioning, and shop drawings encompasses all essential features necessary for structural design, including associative dimensioning, level indicators, hatching, and various symbols. It includes layouts for steel bars and mesh suitable for any reinforcement scenario, ensuring seamless integration with AutoCAD, along with customizable settings to meet office standards through styles. It allows for the direct generation of schedules, supports user-defined shapes, and facilitates the export of existing reinforcements for calculations based on the second-order theory. The system also offers a polygonal mesh layout and macros designed for creating parametric members, with the Macros Module requiring detailing capabilities. Additionally, it provides comprehensive check, production, and layout plans specifically for BAMTEC customized reinforcement carpets. This functionality enables the fully automated generation of reinforcement carpets, includes all necessary drawings consolidated into a single file, allows for the subsequent arrangement of areas, and features extensive editing options for various area specifications, whether by value or by the diameter and number of bars. Moreover, users can easily modify the designs to accommodate specific project needs, ensuring maximum flexibility in their structural planning.
