Height Restriction Simulation <Sky Ratio, Slope Line, Reverse Shadow, Shadow Calculation System> - ArchiCAD Add-on System -
Diagonal lines, sky ratio, shadow, and reverse shadow calculations are now possible on ArchiCAD! 'ADS-win,' which has been evaluated as a high-precision and high-performance height restriction analysis system, has been positioned as a BIM (Building Information Modeling) tool based on data collaboration. Among BIM tools, 'height restrictions (group regulations)' are important legal constraints that must be considered from the early stages of planning, and merely relying on data collaboration does not eliminate the challenges in terms of 'work efficiency.' The height restriction simulation, which has become essential as a BIM tool in Japan, is now available as an add-on system for ArchiCAD, utilizing the algorithms of ADS-win as they are! 《Free trial version available for download from the product homepage》

basic information
Various Functions 【Slant Line and Shadow Calculation】Calculates the buildable space considering slant line restrictions (roads, neighboring properties, northern side, height) and reverse shadows (shadow regulations) using a mesh. Additionally, the "Building Height Check" displays parts of buildings that exceed slant line restrictions in red. 【Shadow Calculation Function】Performs various shadow calculations using model data created in ArchiCAD. - Shadow shape diagram calculation - Equal time shadow diagram - Regulation line check - Specific point shadow - Sunshine curve - Specific point list - Magnification table 【Sky Ratio Calculation】Automatically generates calculation areas and points based on various given conditions. It allows switching to different methods of handling through parameter settings. Each area is managed within the system, enabling bulk processing from system calculations to area calculations. The calculation results output necessary documents for confirmation applications, such as three-dimensional area calculation diagrams and position confirmation tables, within the worksheet. Additionally, the 【Reverse Sky Ratio Function】 allows checking the allowable range from points where the sky ratio calculation results are out of bounds. 【Other Features】 It is possible to set and perform bulk calculations even with multiple urban planning conditions (zoning, height districts, shadow regulations). Data linkage with ADS (import/export functionality) is also available.
