Axoworks: Your Complete Design Control, Zero Software Friction Solution
Your focus belongs on the design, the client, and the detailing—not on a steep software learning curve. This workflow allows you to continue authoring in AutoCAD while Axoworks leverage Revit-AI in the background to handle the heavy lifting of 3D coordination, parametric scheduling, and presentation generation
1. AutoCAD remains the Master Source of Truth
• Native Linking: Revit natively links your DWG files. Your CAD floor plans serve as the exact underlay that drives the 3D model.
• Seamless Updates: When you update your CAD plan and save, the Revit model dynamically refreshes. You maintain 100% authorship; the 3D model simply conforms to your linework.
2. Zero Waste: Preserving Your Detail Library
• Instant Integration: You do not need to redraw a single detail. We can link your existing, highly refined AutoCAD standard details directly into the Revit sheet sets.
• Future-Proofing: While you work normally, we can use this project as an opportunity to trace and build your firm's native Revit detail library in the background, preparing you for future transitions without disrupting the current deadline.
3. Total 3D Visibility (Without a Revit License)
• The Autodesk Viewer: You don't need to open Revit to control the 3D model. We publish daily updates to a secure, web-based Autodesk Viewer.
• Design Control: From your browser, you can fly through the digital twin, cut instant 3D sections, measure clearances, and drop markup pins directly onto the model for the production team. You get X-ray vision into your design without touching the authoring software.
4. Automated Presentations & AI Embellishment
• Instant Massing & Perspectives: Because the 3D digital twin is being built concurrently with your 2D plans, you are entirely freed from building separate presentation models (like SketchUp) for client meetings.
• AI-Enhanced Renderings: We can extract raw, parametric 3D views from the model and use Generative AI to instantly apply materials, lighting, and environmental context. You get high-end visualization to sell the design, with zero rendering time.
5. Parametric Coordination & Risk Mitigation
• Automated Clash Detection: By pushing your 2D design into the 3D environment, we instantly check your architectural intent against the structural and MEP consultant models.
• Smarter Revisions: If an engineer's duct runs through your ceiling, you receive a visual clash report. You make the design decision, update your CAD file, and the parametric system resolves the conflict across all views automatically.
6. Eliminating the Tedium (Schedules & Tags)
• Database Extraction: Manual counting is prone to human error. Door, window, hardware, and room finish schedules are extracted directly from the 3D components we build over your CAD plans. If you delete a door in CAD, it disappears from the Revit model, and the schedule updates automatically.
