Go to “Tools -> Marionette Commands” and click on “cove.tool Plugin” - the first time it will have a prompt to install the Python requests library which you can let it do. To install it, right-click the “Wrapper” and choose “Convert to Menu Command.“, and give it a name (e.g. Make sure to have Vectorworks 2021 software installed, and open the project.ĭownload the plugin installation file here - it contains an object that’s a wrapped Marionette Network containing the code for the plugin. The next section will cover the process of extracting area take-offs for all the components required to assign the appropriate model properties, and useful tools and tips for setting up these elements for an error-free export. If your BIM model contains these objects, then you have the components required to make an accurate analysis model for cove.tool. The simulations which require geometry values need them in the following categories: Roofs, Floors, Exterior Walls, Windows, Building Height, Skylights (optional), Interior Walls (optional), and Shading devices (optional). Each analysis type requires its own set of inputs and standards which are used to output accurate results and diagrams. What Geometry is required for a cove.tool project?Ĭove.tool runs various types of building performance simulations. Make sure you have the most recent plugin version to use this feature, currently Vectorworks 2021 plugin v1.0. By automating 90% of the workflow, cove.tool gives the time it takes to set up and run a simulation, back to the designer.
The activation can be done at any time during or after the evaluation period. After this time, the application will no longer open unless Artlantis is enabled with a serial number. The Geometry Plugins are BIM extensions that make exporting building geometry, a quick and accurate process. Artlantis is fully-functional in demo mode for 30 days from the first day of use.
