This past Thursday, Sean Flaherty, CEO of Nemetschek North America, the makers of Vectorworks, visited a customer of ours to learn how interiorcad is used in a typical production workflow. Sean was staying in Essen to visit the DEUBAU building fair and took the opportunity to see Droste Innenausbau, a medium sized interior design and production company in Gelsenkirchen, some 22 km away from the fair. Together with him, Carlos Lüthy, CEO of Computerworks Germany, Andreas Thierer, also an employee at Computerworks and Stephan Mönninghoff, CEO of extragroup were given a „guided tour" through what makes up a typical fileset of rendered presentations, production drawings, cutting lists and, finally, CNC code generation.
„It was interesting to see how a Vectorworks product is used in fields other than architectural planning or design." Says Sean Flaherty. „While rendered images are also used by our architect customers, the end result is much different - not a printed plan but a set of boards, complete with all drillings, routings and edgebanding".
Droste owns 4 copies of Vectorworks interiorcad including VectorWOP, our CAM interface, and is a recent switcher from another CAD package. Sven Vogler, technician at Droste states that „switching to Vectorworks interiorcad gave us much greater flexibility when designing in 3D. Making last-minute changes to a design or set of production drawings used to be tedious when working in 2D. Thanks to sophisticated viewports and live sections, changing details in a design does not mean a major overhaul of the complete drawing now."
After a lively discussion over some Vectorworks files, Henner Droste, owner of Droste Innenausbau, took everyone down to the large workshop, where a horizontal beam saw, fully automated edgebanding machine and large IMA CNC router make for fast and first class production conditions.
Thanks to all who participated, first and foremost, Henner Droste who gave some interesting insight into his production facilities.

We finally made it.
As always, we had to fight through quite a few unexpected issues, but here it is: interiorcad 2010. Go check it out. We look forward to your feedback.
The first beta testers are already checking whether we did our homework or not. We will iron out the last glitches during the next days and then create the installers. We will announce the final availability of interiorcad 2010 as soon it is done. Stay tuned!
interiorcad 2010 introduces locking systems for drawers and doors. For the latter one, it even supports espagnolette locks. Of course all routings necessary to mount them will appear on your NC router.
Mainly for our very own joy and pleasure :) we decided to visualize all components as threedimensional objects. Thus the user gains much more control over the result:
Besides doors and drawers, interiorcad 2010 now supports blind front panels. Of course we introduced some functional hardware which will trigger routings on NC machines. The blind fronts basically share all features of doors, except for the fact that they use special hardware rather than hinges:
