Building Blocks Features

Zero Learning Curve
If you can click your mouse, then you can use Building Blocks right out of the box.


Building Blocks Wizard 
The Building Blocks Wizard steps you through the design process reducing your learning curve to almost nothing!  It’s so easy a technological “caveman” can easily create designs in a matter of minutes!


Multiple story designs
With Building Blocks you can create multiple story designs easily.  Simply specify the number of stories and the wizard will walk you through the rest.

 


Advanced stair options
Building Blocks gives you tremendous flexibility when creating stairs.  With the ability to create straight, ‘L’ shaped, and ‘U’ shaped stairs, you will easily find the right set of stairs to fit your design.


Automatic dimensioning
With automatic dimensioning you will see dimensions update as you make changes to your plan.   Need to adjust a room size?  Simply drag the room to the desired size and watch your dimensions update.


Click and drag room layouts
Building Blocks allows you to drag your rooms around the design to configure the house layout.  This feature saves you hours of work drawing individual walls as well as provides an impressive tool when working with your client on their design.  


Click and drag wall modifications
This feature allows modification of a wall length or positioning by simply clicking and dragging.  Need to make a wall longer?  No problem, simply grip the wall and drag to the desired length.

  


Drag & drop symbols

Placing openings in Building Blocks is extremely easy.  Simply specify the opening size, then drag and drop the opening to the desired location.  You will notice the dimensions update as you move the opening.

  


Automatic blueprints
After you have your Building Blocks design complete, simply click any of the Blueprints buttons and Building Blocks generates your blueprint in seconds.

 


Easily adjust hip roofs to gable roofs
Building Blocks will automatically place a roof over your design, but it doesn’t stop there.  If you would prefer a gabled end instead of a hip, simply specify which end you want gabled and Building Blocks will do the rest for you.

  


Automatic section drawings
With Building Blocks you specify where you would like to cut a section view from your model.  After you specify the location, Building Blocks automatically creates the drawing for you.

 

  


Take your Building Block design into SolidBuilder
After you have completed your Building Block design, you can take it to the next level by simply utilizing the power of SolidBuilder on your model.  This will put you on third base in a matter of minutes inside SolidBuilder.
