The Splash Screen gives one option for Conceptual Mass models, and two options for detailed models – Spatial Elements and Building Elements. A Model Diagnostic Tool is also included for examining the model for issues before analysis. This screen also has a button to access the Guardian Cloud Platform and a button where your account details are stored as well as reports and Glass Make-ups that you have customized.
Soon it will be possible to upload a model to this area and analyze in the cloud. Links may then be shared with colleagues who may not have modeling software.
- Model Diagnostic Tool for checking modeling issues
- Comcheck Tool – export areas and thermal properties of model elements
