 Kolbe
Offers Architects Window Design Assistance
Kolbe offers architectural tools to inspire and inform design professionals
and to expedite their project details including 3-D window models
for Revit and Google SketchUp.
The window manufacturer says it has received a good response since
unveiling its first 3-D window models six months ago. "Very
well done," says James Leese, AIA, City Design, Fort Myers,
Fla. "Not only are the models created correctly…they are
remarkably versatile in that they also have options for brickmold,
flat or profiled moldings, grilles or not, and other features. The
range of window and door types, sizes and configurations available
makes them work for most every type of situation."
With a five-star ranking, Kolbe's Ultra series windows and doors
Google SketchUp models have been selected as a "Featured Collection"
at Google
3D Warehouse. Now presenting more than one thousand models,
Kolbe plans to add Windquest series vinyl windows and door Google
SketchUp models. These products are designed to offer high design
pressure ratings often needed for commercial projects, as well as
hurricane impact-rated products.
Kolbe's 3-D Revit models also are highlighted among the "Featured
Product Profiles" of the SmartBIM
Library.
"Our Revit 3-D models are linked to specifications, 2-D details
and performance to support the information portion of BIM,"
explains Cindy Bremer, director of marketing "With BIM, you
not only can design the exact product, but also add multitude of
data and information to the model. Visual communications are a more
effective way to show the detail and options that Kolbe has to offer
architects and their customers."
