Prefab & timber frame
Your model does not just sit in Vertex BD, it is also on the screen at every element that comes off the line. The operator and site foreman see the correct cutting list and the correct dimensions for each panel, without anyone first having to look up a drawing.
A timber frame house is not built in one piece, but element by element: a wall panel here, a floor element there, a roof element that goes on top later. Field-Viewer follows that logic. At each workstation you do not open the full project, but the element that is currently being worked on.
Switch on the screen at the saw station, and you see the profiles of that one panel. Stand at the assembly table, and you see how those same profiles form a wall together, including insulation and sleeves. The same source, a different layer visible each time, matching exactly the production step you are at.
Each element gets its own cutting list: which profiles, which boards, which lengths. That list sits alongside the model, not in a separate file you still have to look up.
Framing, insulation and the connection dimensions of each stud are shown with the panel you are working on, including the position of sleeves for pipes or cables.
Span, joist layer and the bearing on the structure below are shown right away, so you already know before installation whether a joist needs to be shortened.
Rafters, purlins and the connection to the roof edge are shown in the same view as the wall and floor elements, so the whole production line works from the same model.
The drawing office publishes the project the way it already does. Field-Viewer picks up that publication and puts the new version on every screen in the hall, from saw station to assembly table.
If something changes on an element while it is already in production, you see that difference yourself, instead of continuing to work from a drawing that has since become outdated.
A wall panel that leaves the hall does not just end up anywhere on site. The order in which the elements are erected determines whether the rest still fits. Click an element in the model, and you see straight away where it belongs in the assembly, with the sleeves and connections that go with it.
If something is still adjusted during erection, the floor follows along. It works the other way round too: a change in production is immediately visible to the crew who will install the element later.
Yes. Field-Viewer shows the model exactly as it comes out of your own Vertex BD project, including your own profiles, names and cutting lists. No separate library or extra setting is needed for it.
Publish the amended version the way you are used to. The screens in the hall show that version automatically, even if a panel is already half sawn. No one keeps working from a drawing that has since become outdated.
Yes, if you want. Open up the relevant layers for the erection team, and they see the same elements and connections on site as in the hall, before the lorry has even been unloaded.
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.
