 December 3, 2002, Rockville, MD -
PlanTracer by Consistent Software, a new product in IDEAL's
family of Scan to CAD products, receives The Editor's Choice Award
from CADENCE Magazine. The Award is given to those companies
that the CADENCE editorial team feel constitute significant
technology that will help move the CAD industry (and related
disciplines) forward. PlanTracer is the first solution on the
market for AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop (ADT) that converts
floor and building plans into intelligent models automatically
and/or semi- automatically. These models are suitable for immediate
use in AEC or Facilities Management (FM) applications.
PlanTracer enables conversion of simple graphics or
source floor plans into objects such as walls, columns, windows,
doors, etc. The program can process any 2D-floor plan loaded in
AutoCAD or ADT. It processes scanned raster drawings or DWG/DXF
files.
"Facility managers can scan their paper drawings
using an IDEAL/Contex scanner, convert the raster data to vector
with the WiseImage plug-in to PlanTracer, and then create a
3-D model." says Jay Magenheim, President of IDEAL.com.
"PlanTracer bridges the gap between an AEC model of a
building and vector data provided by any 2D drawing system or by
raster-to-vector conversion software."
IDEAL.com plans to market PlanTracer through an
authorized dealer program and is actively seeking qualified dealers.
