And the winner of the iPad is…

We’re excited to announce Bob Wegkamp from the company Croes as the winner of the iPad 2 for writing a review about DigiPara^® Elevatorarchitect on our Autodesk Exchange Apps page.

He wrote, “This is good, what’s' next? Good application. Revit needs elevators in 3d. We hope that multiple brands will join this concept. Keep up the good work DigiPara!”.

Congratulations Bob! We hope you have fun with your new iPad!

Unfortunately, Autodesk didn't publish all of your comments and made a few changes to a couple comments but we have published all your original comments on our website at: http://www.digipara.com/Elevatorarchitect.aspx.

It’s great to hear that you like DigiPara Elevatorarchitect. We have also discussed your suggestions for improvements with our developing team and can satisfy some of your wishes with the new release in the beginning of next year.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our iPad contest!

We're exhibiting at Autodesk University 2012 in Las Vegas

Visit us at Autodesk University 2012 Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas, USA from 27 - 29 November 2012.

You'll find us in two different areas:

Exhibitor Stations: stand 2h
Manufacturing Campus: stand 7h

Watch the floor plan!

 

We are looking forward to showing you new software enhancements within DigiPara Elevatorachitect software and how BIM can be integrated in the elevator design process.

See you soon!

Rotating an elevator model

We have simplified the rotation of an elevator model created with DigiPara^® Elevatorarchitect. You can now rotate the elevator to a defined angle.

Step 1: select the elevator's coordinate plane

Choose a plan view (e. g. Floor Plans, Level 1) in Autodesk^® Revit^® and select the elevator's coordinate plane.

Step 2: rotate

Choose the rotate function in Autodesk Revit and click one of the coordinate plane arrows.
 

Step 3: define the angle

Please pull out the angle. You can define it by clicking on another specific point or by entering a specific number via the keyboard.

 

Step 4: update in Autodesk Revit

Please click the button Create or update in Revit in the Add-Ins tab. The elevator will be updated to the specified rotation.

DigiPara Elevatorarchitect for Autodesk Revit now available in Autodesk Exchange Apps Store

We have launched our DigiPara Elevatorarchitect plug-in on the Autodesk Exchange Apps store for Autodesk Revit software.

Download now: http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/Elevatorarchitect

The Autodesk Exchange Apps store is a portal to the Autodesk Revit software ecosystem, providing access to add-ins that allow designers to find and immediately download solutions to some of their more pressing design challenges, specifically for designing 3D elevator BIM models. The Autodesk Exchange Apps store was recently expanded to include apps for products including Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Revit. Customers are now able to access The Autodesk Exchange Apps store both directly on the Web and from within Autodesk products.

Our DigiPara Elevatorarchitect app greatly improves the designer process by creating complex elevator groups within seconds. From within the Autodesk Revit environment, DigiPara Elevatorarchitect guides Autodesk Revit user in finding the correct size elevators and professionally guiding them to the point of reaching an optimal 3D Autodesk Revit model. Free optimized families, which include all types of elevators (hydraulic, roped-hydraulic and traction, with and without machine room) allow Autodesk Revit users to create complex elevator groups within seconds. By exploring the key physical and functional BIM characteristics, all elevator data are instantly illustrated in the Autodesk Revit schedule.

“We welcome DigiPara as an early participant in the Autodesk Exchange Apps store – the DigiPara Elevatorarchitect app is a great example of the range of valuable add-ins easily available to customers from within the design and engineering products they use every day,” said Jim Quanci, director of the Autodesk Developer Network.“ DigiPara Elevatorarchitect for Autodesk Revit is a full function add-in to Autodesk Revit software, which makes it now very easy for Autodesk Revit users to find and design the right elevator model for their project.”
