DigiPara releases new 3-D export formats for Liftdesigner and Escalatordesigner software

Today at Interlift 2011 (October 18 - 21, Augsburg, Germany), DigiPara announced an enhanced version of its Liftdesigner and Escalatordesigner software, featuring new 3-D export formats. The Liftdesigner and Escalatordesigner software is now able to save 3-D elevator and escalator drawings into SAT or STEP formats, which imports them into other 3-D CAD programs. This greatly enhances the existing design process for elevator and escalator manufacturers. The new SAT and STEP function enables manufacturers to easily export 3-D elevator and escalator models into other 3-D CAD software like Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks, for customization according to their needs.

In addition, elevator and escalator manufacturers are able to send 3-D models created by Liftdesigner and Escalatordesigner to builders and architects. Due to the new export formats, 3-D models can be quickly and conveniently integrated into 3-D architecture software like Autodesk Revit or ArchiCAD. Architects are now able to display elevators and escalators more precisely as well as perform interference checks between the elevator and the building.

“The new SAT and STEP export function is fantastic. As we can now participate in BIM by sending our architects 3-D elevator models, which aid in coordination efforts with the various sub contractors and can also be utilized in the “clash detection” process. It's accurate and saves us time,” comments Scott Anderson, Manager Automation Development at Otis Elevator – NAA Contract Logistics Center in Bloomington, Illinois, USA.

The Liftdesigner and Escalatordesigner software will be exhibiting at Interlift in Augsburg, Germany from 18 - 21 October in Hall 7 Stand 7171.

Looking forward to see you there.

How to create large elevator types within Elevatorarchitect

Recently a question came up, on how to create elevators with higher capacities (like 32 passengers) than suggested in the solution suggestor drop down list.

When you create your elevator please choose the largest capacity, like 20 passengers:

Complete the create process.

In the "Compare vendors" dialog, expand the "Requirements" and change the number of passengers.

Note that you can type in any number while the drop down list suggest only the small sizes. Click "TAB" to leave the field.

Finally choose one vendor that supports the required size ( like Schindler 2600) and refresh your drawing by clicking "Create or Update in Revit"
