Wall Cladding 4D

An all new Walling Claddings tool. And WOW! Look what it can do.

All sorts of claddings can be easily applied to composite walls and now complex walls. Custom orb, hex rib, even custom profiles, weatherboards, sheeting with express joints – anything Vertically or Horizontally.

All the claddings on this project have been created using the ‘Wall Claddings 4D’. The vertically aligned wall sheets, the express jointed panels to the lower right, the small weatherboards, the custom vertical timber panels (Using custom profiles) and the weird screen with the elliptical openings

• Link to all wall types including complex
• Curves with walls - concave or convex
• Offset from wall reference line
• 'Internal' walls function that lines both sides of the wall
• Create perimeter trim around cladding
• Upgraded UI with easier materials selection
• All new operation from the 4D Library menu
• Together with a complex wall, extremely difficult walls types are now easy.

Wall Cladding - Layers

The Wall accessory tool has had an upgrade to allow layered sections of panelling

Each layer can have a rail of differing size to separate or cap the cladding.

This new feature should prove very popular.

Build 45 | Brick Setout Tool

The new Brick Setout Function automatically adjusts walls and windows to suit real brick dimensions, taking the frustration out of brick-based design.

Support includes:
• 230mm (1-course) brick setout
• 290mm (2-course) brick setout
• Custom formats for concrete blocks and other masonry systems

But this goes far beyond simply resizing walls.

You can also:
• Choose the snap/setout type
• Display custom setout text in plan
• Control reveal depth for different brick formats
• Automatically maintain brick module accuracy throughout the model

And the standout feature — automatic corner windowing.

Anyone who has worked with brick setouts knows how difficult corner windows can be. This new function handles it automatically while keeping everything aligned to brick dimensions.

Simply place windows at the ends of adjoining walls and the tool will automatically:
• Corner the windows
• Adjust the sizing as closely as possible
• Maintain proper brick setout logic

What used to take careful manual adjustment can now happen automatically in seconds.
