CBM-Vault Capped
DISCONTINUED: This page is legacy only. All my tools are developed solely to improve my own real-world productivity, in my spare time from a real full-time job and sold on request for a nominal fee only. After over 20 years, I discontinued my development for Vectorworks since I moved to Archicad.
Draws: cap ceiling for existing buildings. Storey bound, supports custom profiles, part textures, plug-in styles, catalogs on demand, automaps its own IFC export. This plug-in is still in progress.
Outputs: 2D, 3D, IfcSlab, DIN 276 Classification
Parameters:
General
Extensive 2D options
Storey and Style
Responds to storey levels, styleable
Vault Geometry
Supports 3 components: cap, fill and steel shape
Supports any polygonal geometry, align vault caps to a chosen side.
Vault Fields
Control-point driven field geometry, no dialogs
The reference line length/field count determines the span. Option to use it as limit.
The field rise can be entered manually or calculated by factor (around 1/10 of the span).
Steel Shape
Optional Steel shape, extra historical sizes
Symbol-based steel shape geometry, fully customizable.
Label
Parameter-parsing label on drawing
Supports units formatters and minigrep
Appearance
Appearance in 2D, 3D and section
Custom Texture Parts
Add, subtract 3D modifiers of any kind. Option to extract them for easier edit (avoid edits in Profile group)
Data
Semantic, physical Data and Norms
Ready for quantity take offs
Product
Product attributes for compatibility reasons with new slabs. Capped ceiling are seldom built new, they are existing, need thus no product specification
IFC automapping
