Building Information Modeling (BIM) is coming of age. After long being an attractive far-future concept, BIM is now reality, and it is steadily transforming the way many buildings are designed, planned, and built. So much that many leading architectural firms now work on the basis of a virtual model that integrates all the aspects of a building. The Architectural profession has weighed the benefits of BIM and they are clear: more time spent on designing rather than drafting, more opportunities to test different designs, better understanding of the costs and delivery times of different designs variants, and many others. But with BIM comes a certain amount of change: building teams are now getting used to working with different base documents, some of which have been established for decades.

BOXX understands what it takes to power sophisticated professional applications. We can recommend the right performance level depending on your firm’s workflow. And with a BOXX workstation, you can rest assured that it has been tested and optimized to specifically run the applications that your firm depends on. So call BOXX. We will put you on the right track.

Autodesk RevIt puts the power of parametric modeling in the hands of architectural design firms and architecture engineering firms. Unlike CAD programs which are constrained models ruled by fixed dimensions, RevIt sees the various dimensions that characterize a structure as variables that can be modified at will. The result is that changes in the dimensions of essential building blocks such windows, floors and doors can be automatically propagated throughout the virtual building much like a change in a variable modifies the results of a spreadsheet. This unconstrained approach to RevIt allows architects to quickly produce many “What if?” The result is many alternative virtual buildings that explore different ways to solve concurrent design priorities. The benefit is that architects spend time on actual design rather than on painstaking drafting. The program goes even further by automatically reflecting changes in design into cost estimates and build schedules.

With so much built-in flexibility, RevIt is poised to drive higher quality designs and higher productivity throughout the building industries. But the corollary to creating highly detailed virtual models of buildings is that the density of information grows very rapidly. The architect’s design workstation needs to be powerful enough to allow smooth manipulation of complex designs otherwise the productivity gains may not materialize. At BOXX, we have a track record of designing workstations that can handle very large virtual objects, and, that are certified and optimized for running professional applications. BOXX also designs render nodes which are dedicated to producing photo-realistic renders of your project.

So, trust BOXX. We can give your firm the specialized computing power you need to be successful.

Inventor is well known for manufacturing and mechanical design but thanks to its interoperability with Autodesk RevIt, it also benefits architects who want to create complex building shapes. Complex buildings generate very large files so running Inventor on a BOXX workstations that has been specifically designed to support large memory capacities will allow you to push the limits while monitoring memory usage with Inventor’s Large Assembly Management function. 3D Visualization is also an integral part of Inventor, and it really shines on BOXX workstations that have been optimized for professional 3-D work. Talk to a BOXX expert today about your architectural design workflow. We have the right, high-performance and rock-solid solution for you.
