The users of bocad-3D Engineering Office are from planning and engineering offices for planning small and large-scale construction engineering projects. The constructions which this package creates include carports, balconies, roofs, houses, halls, bridges, towers and other unusual constructions.

bocad-3D Engineering Office provides you with automated assistance when constructing straight and arched laminated timber supporting structures. The engineer is helped by different kinds of single-span, frame and arched girders when inputting. Members are integrated in 3D with any kind of cross section, profile or material. The building model gains detail as members are generated and wood and steel connections are produced. Steel, nailed and screwed connections are positioned freely or in accordance with manufacturers' catalogues. The programme automatically determines the clemping length of bolts in accordance with technical regulations. Different types of timber, steel and concrete supports form the connection with the beams. Bracings with tensile and compression bars reinforce the building.

The bocad-3D Roof module calculates the roof areas once the ground plan of the building and the corresponding roof profiles have been entered. Every roof area can be adapted individually. The insertion of dormers, skylights, chimneys and roofing timber completes the roof construction.

The collision check immediately shows you where rework is required. The option of displaying the building model using unlimited views and cross sections provides you with the necessary certainty you need for construction. Drawings for individual components and elements, with the requisite views, cross sections, dimension lines, parts lists, drawing borders and text fields, are produced automatically by bocad-3D. The direct connection between the drawing and building model means the programme informs you immediately whether the drawing is up-to-date in case of any changes. You use the list generator to group parts lists, sorted by assembly group, profile, material, item number, installation location (for joints and fastenings) etc. All the processing steps are saved together with the project and can thus be cancelled or restored using the undo / redo function in bocad-3D - even days later. Established interfaces are used to exchange data with other CAD systems. The package can be upgraded with optional interfaces to CNC machines, e.g. joining systems.
