bocad Roof & Wall for the building envelope

bocad Roof & Wall software offers a complete solution for 3D modelling of cladding, roofing, and sealing for buildings of any type (industrial, commercial, or architectural). It includes a wide range of the most common catalogues of cladding and roofing profiles and can be used to create all the finishing elements (flashing and other fasteners).

A modern user interface with a logical workflow enables users to design and model their projects quickly and accurately. Automatic layout of facades, eaves and roofs is available, with a wide range of options for accurate layout. Tools for positioning and modelling openings (doors, windows, shutters, etc.) and cutting into cladding. Possibility of palletising elements for precise ordering of materials and saving time on site. Specific cladding element marking (length range) and special outputs for flashing. General arrangement drawing for facades and roofs are easy to produce and automated, for accurate, high-quality bills of materials. Various interfaces (import/export) in different formats enable interoperability with other software and allows to work on BIM projects. The envelope can be modelled on the bocad model or on an imported reference model. You also have access to all the features of bocad Steel.
