| New technology tools for cultured stone veneer Owens Corning has introduced two new technology tools: a Web-downloadable version of the veneer stone visualization program and the comprehensive collection of detail drawings related to building practices for the installation of manufactured stone veneer. These tools were designed to increase productivity for architects, designers and builders and make critical information and tools available anytime, anywhere. Best Practices for Flashing is the online collection of detail drawings. Best Practices for Flashing is a downloadable series of instantly available detail drawings that clarify 21 common flashing applications. StoneCAD software provides vector-based hatch patterns and seamless texture maps of every texture and color in the product line. This platform also facilitates instantaneous updates and provides the Cultured Stone business with information regarding usage patterns to enable continuous improvement. Among the latest features in StoneCAD 5.0 are: - Advanced detail drawings for better layering and CAD compatibility. - Direct support for AutoCAD versions 2005, 2006 and 2007. - As architects and builders migrate towards 3-D design, Version 5.0 provides support for VectorWorks, Archicad, Revit, DesignCAD, MegaCAD, Solidworks, TurboCAD, VersaCAD and VisualCAD. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
