A new system family for cladding systems like rainscreen and composite panels which are mainstream in modern construction. This should facilitate modular cladding and basic support layout and parametric setting out.
Design professionals are developing these missing cladding systems with the available software tools and whilst some results can be achieved, these aren’t as functional as if you were designing with a system family. This is leading to greater inconsistency, lack of features, modelling size, scheduling limitations, etc. Looking at some of the features within the available system families, it seems that the software is more than capable to develop these missing building systems, so where are they?
