Vertex BD 2014New Features in version 2014
Context Sensitive Menu
4
Users are familiar with it – make easier to start with Vertex
Focus in object which is modified
Less movements between toolbar menus
Intuitive, guides you through what can be done to the object – easier to learn
Makes possible totally new methods in UI development
Vertex BD 2014Context sensitive menu, why
5
Old functions are still available in toolbar menu and they are similar than in earlier version
When nothing is selected, there is mainly add function in context menu (right mouse click)
When component or grip point of component is selected, context menu shows functions than can be used for component or edge of component
Context sensitive menu is the same, regardless of where it is opened: from drawing, model or object tree
Vertex BD 2014Context sensitive menu, what has been done
6
Vertex BD 2014Context sensitive menu, wall as a example
Wall selected Wall layer selected
Edge of wall layer selected
End of wall selected
7
Vertex BD 2014Context sensitive menu, panelizing tools are now uniform
Wall selected Floor, ceiling or roof selected
8
Vertex BD 2014Context sensitive menu, uniform framing tools
Wall panel selected Floor, ceiling or roof selected
Floor, ceiling or roof panel selected
Object Tree View
10
Visibility management of model has been one of the top features in our customers wish list. Object tree view is Vertex answer!
Object tree view is one view to project and creates new possibilities to modify components and manage visibility of them
Main reason for development has been to improve tools to hide and unhide components – single or multiple
Vertex BD 2014Object Tree View, why
11
New object tree view is all the time available
All components are shown in tree view
Components are sorted by component type and relations of them
Floor is one level in hierarchy
Selection from tree view are exactly same than selection from model or drawing
Context sensitive menu of object is same regardless of where it was selected
On top of the tree view is visibility filter, which can be used show only some parts in model or drawing. In addition of those, there is also available normal standard hiding tools to hide components one by one or by branch or by selecting multiple components.
Vertex BD 2014Object Tree View, what has been done
New graphic window and door library interface
13
Opening libraries are using now new component browser
New library is visual. Window and doors are selected based in preview image created from 3D model -> easy and fast to find object wanted
When object is selected, properties can be edited in same dialog. It’s also possible to add opening directly to model without editing properties of them.
It’s possible to classify object in library by type or group them by selection class field in library
If there is different types grouped with same classification of selection type, one item as shown in browser as a representation of group. When group branch is opened in browser tree, all items are shown in browser.

Frame design, framing tools are similar now
16
Framing tools how they are connected to structure and how they are managed and modified are made uniform for different object types
Changes are made to improve usability and maintenance
Framing tools can be now defined for horizontal structures same way with walls in library. Library interfaces are still different, but will be make similar in future.
Custom update tools will do necessary changes to libraries automatically. More detailed information will be available in version 2014 manual
In version 2014 floor, ceiling and roof framing can be generated similar with walls many layers at the same time. Framing tools are defined layer by layer. Different layer can have different tools. When generating parts of structure, parts of all layers are generated at the same time. This makes generation and modification process faster for multilayer structures.
Vertex BD 2014Connecting framing tools for horizontal structures are similar with walls
Truss Generator
18
Intelligent truss frame generation tool
Add vertical on ridge, in angle of top/bottom chord, at the support, at connecting truss
User can select spacing, profile size (web, top/bottom chord, ties), web and ties start from and generation rules like web face direction
Default setting can saved easily to library using same interface
Supports different shapes of trusses
Vertex BD 2014Truss Generator
19
Vertex BD 2014Truss Generator
Verticals at support
Web direction face up/down, start from top/bottom
Single or double end
User can define ties

Profiles and location of tyes Generation rules
Renewed rendering
23
New ways to define lights: Image based lighting, area light, indirect lighting are now available
More photorealism
Indirect lighting will raise quality of the inside perspective pictures to new level
Soft and transparent shadows
Easy way to save and load rendering environsment
Vertex BD 2014Renewed rendering
24
Rendering material editing is now simple and easy
Editing single material and mass editing has been improved
Rendering materials utilize properties of siding (rise of one board and direction) – rendering textures are parametric -> modifications and maintenance are easier
New parametric rendering materials for paints and wooden sidings and roof
Related to rendering, improvement in component presentation
Profiles: Texture of section can be different than long edge
Accurate machine seamed steel roof shape of tile roof
Accurate wall shape of siding support now with curved shapes

31
Minor, but significant enhancements • Rotate model with middle button of mouse
• Rotating of model is now faster and better
• Ctrl+A, selection before pressing Ctrl+A is used as filtering criteria – only same types are allowed for selection
Truss Engineering
34
It’s possible to use framing rules for opening, set up lintel defaults for different opening widths

Vertex will publish truss engineering for Australian market in early 2014. Truss engineering at that time will contain support for Australian building code
Vertex plan is to develop Eurocode support for truss engineering during year 2014. Release date will be informed later on.
There exists national annex in every country in Europe. First annex supported will be UK national annex.
Truss supported at beginning are in plane trusses.
