Noise Barriers for card_1
Model creation is becoming increasingly important in early planning phases as it accelerates decision-making processes. It makes all the more sense to use CardScript to check whether data from other software solutions can be used to “quickly” build specialist models.

CardScript for BIM Track Modelling
The BIM method is becoming increasingly important, yet challenges remain. 3D models with attributes are needed to work meaningfully with BIM without any loss of information. Manual procedures make updating arduous and difficult to manage. Integrated solutions must therefore be found that automate processes and work steps in order to manage large volumes of data. What could be more obvious than CardScript?
