Rebro v2024 is a Japanese-language CAD software designed for architectural and building infrastructure design, focusing on equipment like ductwork, sanitation, piping, and electrical fittings. Released on April 15, 2024, it supports 2D, 3D, and BIM (Building Information Modeling) capabilities, enabling efficient design with integrated, real-time updates across cross-sections, flat planes, and other views. It’s tailored to Japanese architectural standards and construction practices, offering tools for equipment design, including electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems.
Key Features:
- New Features:
- Smoke Exhaust Calculation: Automatically calculates smoke exhaust volume based on adjacent areas and room data, with support for setting smoke exhaust zones and visualizing adjacent areas.
- Room Specifications: Enhanced room data management for precise design.
- Target Room Addition: Allows adding specific rooms for calculations or design focus.
- Cloud Storage Support: Enables seamless integration with cloud-based storage for data access and collaboration.
- Enhanced Features:
- Panel Management: Supports primary side input (power type, phase, voltage) and links with secondary side settings of parent panels. Allows grouping multiple panels as a single unit for management.
- Dimension Lines and Size Notation: Improved tools for adding precise measurements and annotations.
- CG and 3D PDF Saving: Enhanced visualization and export options for presentations and documentation.
- BIM Integration: Rebro’s 3D models are compatible with various BIM software (e.g., architectural, cost estimation, point cloud processing, and iPad apps), ensuring smooth data sharing across design, construction, and maintenance phases. Changes in one view (e.g., floor plan) automatically update related drawings, reducing errors and manual corrections.
- Design Efficiency: Features like Around View allow 360° rotation and sectional views for complex designs, while tools like pipe drafting without immediate measurements support creative workflows.
- Electrical Design: Includes tools for bulk wiring, JECA-standard electrical symbols, wiring notes, panel management, lighting calculations, and automatic fixture placement.
