Capabilities & Screenshots
What ConstructiVision does today — and what’s shipping in the v12 web application.
Current Capabilities
All capabilities below are available today in the shipping AutoCAD v11 plugin. Scroll each row horizontally to see all cards.
3D Solid Modeling
Every panel rendered as a 3D solid. 10 viewpoint presets and three shade modes: wireframe, hidden-line, shaded solid.
Inputs-Only Design
Enter only choices and numbers. ConstructiVision generates the fully dimensioned 3D panel drawing automatically — no mouse drawing, no manual dimensioning.
Opposite Hand & Curved
Mirror-image (opposite hand) panel from any existing one in one step. Arch radius supports curved top profiles and full-radius geometry.
Panel Dimensions
Thickness, width, bottom elevation, top-left / top-right / peak heights, arch radius, Z-offset, expansion gap, and casting face orientation — fully parametric.
Top & Footing Profiles
Parapet steps, footing steps, and side slabs independently configurable per panel side with height and width controls.
Slope Details
Built-in slope calculator and slope detail configuration for panels on graded sites or with non-horizontal bearing lines.
Rough Openings
Multiple RO slots per panel. Adjacent placement with + syntax, centering with c. Each opening has independent elevation, height, width, and distance.
Windows
Dedicated window/door opening type with multi-page dialog. L/R quadrant, distance, elevation, width, height — master toggle on panel sheet.
Man Doors
Personnel door openings with configurable swing side and mode toggle. Distance, elevation, width, and height individually clamped to panel bounds.
Dock Levelers
Dock leveler openings with integral hydraulic pit blockout at the bottom. X-offset (recess depth) and Y-offset separately configurable.
Square / Rect Blockouts
Arbitrary rectangular blockouts anywhere on the panel face. Multiple slots, each independently toggled.
Round Blockouts
Circular blockout openings anywhere on the panel face. Quadrant (L/R), distance from edge, elevation, and diameter with slider-linked tiles.
Named Blockouts
Up to 2 custom-shaped blockouts per panel: Circular, Arched, or Trapezoidal. Linear or elevation-based positioning mode.
Pilasters
Vertical column projections from the UP face. Multiple pilasters per panel with independent position and dimension settings.
Lintels (Corbels)
Horizontal projections from the UP face — typically above or below openings. Master toggle on panel sheet.
Ledger Bars
Up to 4 rows per panel. Elevation, depth, width, brace/lumber size, bolt diameter/length, orientation, spacing, offset, inset — with built-in Calc utility.
Top Plates
Up to 4 top plate features. Bolt size, bolt spacing (N×M), thread length, direction, height, offset, overhang, inset — with Calc utility.
Weld Connections
5-page weld connection dialog covering all weld types per panel face. Window cutout list persisted to file. Master toggle controls drawing output.
Slab Dowels
J-shaped rebar connections from panel base to slab. Per-dowel elevation, angle, offset, and inset — materializes in drawings and bill of materials.
Spandrel Seats
Up to 2 spandrel seat configurations. L/R side, elevation, width, and height with linked edit/slider pairs for rapid adjustment.
Horizontal Feature Strips
Cosmetic reveal strips across the panel face. Catalog-driven profiles. Distance, elevation, height, left/right offsets, angle, and orientation all configurable.
Vertical Feature Strips
Vertical counterpart. Identical parametric model: distance, elevation, width, offsets, dual catalog and feature select combos.
Chamfer
Edge chamfer in ½″, ¾″, and 1″ sizes applied to either or both surfaces of the panel and selected features. Direction: up, down, or both.
Auto Lift Calculations
Center of gravity and center of lift computed per panel, compensating for opening reductions and pilaster mass additions. Manual override available.
Pick Points
Up to 8 auto-placed pick points using obstruction-avoidance and centroid-based algorithms. Column distance and row elevation controls with slider pairing.
Brace Points
Temporary brace point locations written into the panel drawing and included in the panel book. Configurable per panel side.
Layer View & Print Control
Seven drawing subsets (All Layers, Greenplate, Connections, Pick/Brace, Feature Strip, Perimeter, Solid) each with independent View and Print toggles.
Construction Layout
All panel forms arranged on the pour slab — a single drawing showing every panel’s form positioned relative to the slab grid with full dimensions.
Batch Panel Book
Print or update all panels sequentially. Operations: Print Panel Book, Materials List, Revision History, Update Drawings — driven by a self-recursive AutoCAD script chain.
Materials List
Totals concrete volume, hardware, chamfer and reveal strip lengths, slab dowels, and all embedments from the same data that drives the drawings.
Revision History
Every design change logged per panel. Printable as a standalone sheet and included in the panel book — a complete as-built record of design evolution.
Drawing-Native Storage
All 21 panel feature categories stored inside the .dwg Named Object Dictionary as XRecords. No external database. Standard AutoCAD format.
Offline & Firm-Controlled
No internet required. No cloud dependency. Project files are standard .dwg files readable by any AutoCAD user — with or without ConstructiVision installed.
Import / Export
Export panel data files for lift engineering analysis. Import data files to replicate panels across projects. No proprietary database required.
