ModelIT is the model building module of the <Virtual Environment>. ModelIT allows you to create the 3D models required by other module within the <Virtual Environment>. ModelIT is designed to enable appropriate levels of complexity to be incorporated within a model across the entire design spectrum.
At the sketch design or feasibility stage, basic models may be generated from scratch using a variety of simple modelling tools, in order to conduct preliminary performance appraisals or comparative studies.
Similarly, at the other end of the design process, fully worked DXF files may be attached to ModelIT and using the tools provided, three-dimensional building spaces may be generated rapidly by tracing over the DXF outlines. Moreover, in the case of the optional Construct/DXF module, a complete model including doors and windows may be generated from a DXF file entirely automatically.
Projects
When the <Virtual Environment> is started up a blank project is initialised and the “ModelIT” workspace is activated. For more details of creating/opening/saving projects please refer to general help topics Section 3,”File” menu for more information.
The Model space window default background colour is white, with the grid in black. This can be altered. Please refer to general help topics, Section 5.7.2 System colours for more information.
