CAD package · Vertex BD
The drawing office publishes the way it already does, without a separate export or an extra licence. At the workstation and on the tablet on site, the model and the 2D drawing appear together straight away, linked to each other according to the logic of Vertex BD itself.
MODEL AND DRAWING TOGETHER
This is what the link looks like in practice: tap a panel bay in the model, and the same spot in the production drawing lights up with it.
The same publication you already create today reaches, through Field-Viewer, every screen that needs it.
The drawing office works in Vertex BD the way it always has: walls, floors and roofs, with the profiles and panels that go with them later on.
One publication from the project is enough. No separate export and no second workflow to learn.
Model and 2D drawing appear together on the screen at the saw station, the assembly table or on the tablet on site, linked to each other.
If a dimension is missing, you take it yourself from the model. If something changes during production, the floor follows along.
THE NATIVE FLOW
Vertex BD is the CAD package of the timber frame construction, prefab and light steel framing sector in Flanders and Belgium. The drawing office designs and details walls, floors and roofs there, often with a CNC line that is driven directly from it. Field-Viewer connects to exactly that process, without adding an extra step anywhere between the drawing office and the floor.
Publish your project the way you already do, and the model and the 2D drawings appear together in Field-Viewer straight away, linked according to the logic of Vertex BD itself. Tap a wall or panel in the model, and the matching production drawing appears alongside it. It works the other way round too: start from the drawing, and you find the element back in the model.
No overblown promises, just an honest picture of what already works today and what Field-Viewer is not.
CONCRETE EXAMPLE
An operator at the saw station is unsure about a profile length on a wall panel. Instead of calling the drawing office, he taps the panel in the model and the matching production drawing appears alongside it, with the dimension that matters at that moment.
If the drawing office has meanwhile changed a detail, he sees that difference straight away, before the saw blade ever comes into it. Nobody carries on working from a drawing that has quietly become out of date.
Yes. Field-Viewer shows the project exactly as it comes out of Vertex BD, including your own profiles, names and cutting lists. No separate setting or extra library is needed.
A publication reaches everyone connected to the project at that moment, with no intermediate step: there is nothing to fetch or download. What you see on your screen is the current version, even if it was only updated a few minutes earlier.
No. Field-Viewer opens the publication directly, without a Vertex BD licence needing to be installed on the workstation or the tablet. Only the drawing office itself works in Vertex BD.
Would you rather see your own project on screen than an example of ours? Email us a publication from Vertex BD or an IFC file, with the pdf drawings alongside if you have them, to info@field-viewer.com. Too big for an email? Send a WeTransfer link instead.
Within two working days we set up a short demo in which you see your own model in the viewer: your elements, your dimensions, your drawings beside them.
We use what you send only to prepare that demo. We share your files with no one and we delete them afterwards.
Request a demo with your own project, no obligation. We will look together at whether Field-Viewer suits your team in Flanders, in your workshop or on your site.
Not ready for a demo yet? Leave your email address and you will hear from us when there is news about Field-Viewer. Not a newsletter, a few emails a year at most.
Thanks, you will hear from us as soon as there is news.
Thanks, we have your request. We will get in touch within two working days to arrange a demo.
