VA
ApartmentDesigner
The VA ApartmentDesigner is the modern planning software for your demands, for
either drawing of the already existing apartment or the planning of a new one,
easy to do and to display photo realistic. You don’t need to have special CAD
knowledge to use this software.
You plan your project, means walls, doors, windows, stairs, etc. in the floor
plan and with one mouse click you will see your project in 3D. This way you can
visual check your project, the entire apartment as well as the
constructive details. In the planning phase you have the opportunity to check on
the design and the best illumination of the rooms in reference to the real
lighting conditions.
The VA ApartmentDesigner is compatible with all available ArCon open versions.
You can use and complete all apartment data in VA
ApartmentDesigner.
Of course the functions in the ApartmentDesigner are limited, for example you
can only work on one floor. The living areas can be calculated like in ArCon.
For architects, interior designer, developer, realtor or handy men – with the VA
ApartmentDesigner you have not only an efficient planning software, but also a
very effective presentation device. There are often divergences, when it comes
to three-dimensional imagination. The three dimensional view and the virtual
walking through your living project helps you to avoid planning mistakes and
supports the imagination.
The fact, that the VA ApartmentDesigner has a graphic and easy to use screen and
also is intuitive to use, makes it unnecessary to complete a computer course,
the VA ApartmentDesigner explains itself. You find all the necessary information
and tips in the manual as well as in the provided online help. Just with a
mouse click you get at once the desired information for the present question.
The planning and construction will be easier and the results are faster
available.
To receive additional information about VA ApartmentDesigner at the same time,
the uncut VA Software manual is available on your computer. In the construction
mode you start with the floor plan. With the powerful functions you put in
windows, doors and stairs, which you can check for correctness already during
enter with the 3D Preview.
With a mouse click you switch into the design mode, which shows you the building
in a photo realistic 3D-Display. In the design mode you plan the furnishing,
continue with the design and choose the colours. For that the VA
ApartmentDesigner provides a catalogue with furniture, surface structures and
colours. With a simple „Drag & Drop“ you pull the wallpapers on the walls or put
the furniture in the rooms. Putting in lamps and with the setting of the sun and
moon position you get light into your planning. The integrated rendering mode
gives you a photo realistic display of light, shadow and reflection.

Plan and Design
It is possible to plan and design endless floors including basement
and attic floor. Floors can be
shown / hidden in the VA ApartmentDesigner Professional. Walls will
be generated and blended as 3D-models.Windows and doors can be
selected from given pallets or can be designed by intelligent
assistants. Necessary wall openings will be automatically
generated when placing. Ceilings will be moved in automatically.
Wall holes
It is possible to cut any rectangular holes into walls.
There is a check box in the dialogue
“advanced window design� to show or to hide the window frame (incl.
glass).
Automatic stairs construction
The VA ApartmentDesigner
Professional has an automatic stairs construction incl. handrails
for L-and U shaped pedestals as well as for straight, coiled,
half-coiled stairs and for
arbor-
and circular arc stairs. All
stairs can be selected either as solid- or wood construction. The
surfaces are freely designable and at a push on a button the optimum
safety after DIN 18065 can be calculated. A lower and a top level
displacement can be calculated for every stair. Furthermore, for
every straight single run stair can be the inclined accession and
egression be selected via angle input. With the help of this special
„stair types“, ramps can be included into the planning, for example
to design apartments for handicapped people. To generate any
polygonal stairs and to select different handrail types use the
polygonal coiled stair. The many setting possibilities allow the
adaptation to different styles. Any 3D-objects can be used as poles.
The filling of the handrail can be done with vertical alternatively
horizontal bars or with a glass area.
Complete furnishing in 2D and 3D
mode Planning of the complete
furnishing up to wall papers and floor covering in different style
catalogues, which include more than 3000 objects and textures
(textures are used for surface structures )with the enclosed
standard catalogue in the VA ApartmentDesigner Professional.
Furthermore, you have the choice to generate any own textures.
Besides Windows – BMP –Files also following files will be supported:
JPEG, TIF, PCX, GIF and PNG. Also moving objects can be now
displayed in the VA ApartmentDesigner Professional. With the moving
objects is it possible for example to open the door of a cabinet.
Consideration of sun and moon
position With the help of a
dialogue box you can determine longitude and latitude (the input can
also be done by country and city).
The daytime determines the exact position of sun or moon, which can
be shown in the background when wished by the user. In reference to
the time of the year and day a determination of the daylight colour
will be shown. A north arrow can be positioned on the construction
plan. This north arrow determines the direction of sun and moon.
Photo realistic presentation with Ray-Tracing
A special function of the VA ApartmentDesigner Professional is the
photo realistic simulation of the light conditions with the help of
Ray-Tracing. Light, shadow, transparency and reflection will be
calculated realistically. The VA ApartmentDesigner contains of
course a generation of high quality pictures for your presentation.
Building-/Object shadow
The user has the possibility to determine, if the Apartment shows a
shadow or not (for example a building shadow for outside videos with
patio shadow). For objects can
be chosen as well, if they should show a shadow or not. This is
sometimes important when generating pictures to use shadows. This
function is an addition to the already existing function “lamp
generates shadow�.
Labelling, dimensioning and
output The dimensioning of floor
plans with single- or chain measures is another feature of the VA
ApartmentDesigner Professional. An effective and scale output for
every floor, including frame and writing field can be done with
every to windows connected printer or plotter.
Floor plans, views and pictures can be included into Microsoft Word
for Windows for presentations of all kind.br>
Foreground / Background - Bitmap
A Bitmap as a foreground or background can be shown at any place in
the design mode (for example the VA Virtual Architecture logo,
company logo, etc.). This bitmap
is also shown on the generated pictures and videos.
There is
the possibility to insert a bitmap for the background presentation
(horizon, view angle).
Import of DWG, HPGL- und 2D-DXF-Files
DWG, HPGL- and 2D-DXF files can
be used and shown as foils for the floor plan input. Also our VA
Software versions include as a standard the export of HPGL-and
2D-DXF-files and ProCAD-foils as 3D mode for further use in other
CAD-programs.
Creating of videos as AVI-files
The VA ApartmentDesigner Professional can create videos with the
common Windows video format AVI.
Create professional videos for the
builder and set a new standard in the presentation of your building
project.
Detailed room information
At the push of a button
detailed room information can be created as a text document
including room identification, information text and automatically
calculated data, like floor area, volume, ad measurement and wall
area. A listing of all rooms as RTF-file can be created with
Microsoft Word for Windows, which additionally if you like includes
a listing of the furnishing per room. The complexity of the data can
be chosen by the user.
Calculation of floor areas and volumes
The rooms can be assigned for the occupancy according to DIN.
The calculation of the areas and volumes can be done with the help
of the function “room info� as a word document. All articles of DIN
277 will be taken in consideration for the calculation of the ground
areas and volumes ( for example room heights lower or higher than
1,50 meters).
Virtual walls With the help of
virtual walls you can create rooms, which sides are not completely
surrounded by walls, that means, you can create logical rooms which
will be taken into consideration for the area calculation, or
continues walls can be separated for separate texturing.
Also you are able to create floors with different levels with the
help of virtual walls.
