Features

IFC Export / Import

DBF allows users to export their designs in IFC format allowing users to connect to Archicad, Revit and other BIM tools.

Photorealistic 3D Context

DBF provides 3D photorealistic contextual dataset for your project, including neighboring buildings, landscape elements, streets, and the natural surroundings of the city. This dataset delivers a comprehensive and lifelike representation of your project's environment.

Drag and drop inputs and constraints

DBF simplifies the process of incorporating volumetric constraints by enabling users to effortlessly drag and drop 3D files (OBJ, FBX). This functionality empowers users to create buildings that not only adhere to local regulations but also respond to volumetric restrictions concerning building heights, setbacks, separation, and site coverage.

Buiding, Area and Program Design Statistics

DBF delivers instant, real-time feedback on critical metrics and building statistics, including site coverage, GFA (Gross Floor Area), FAR (Floor Area Ratio), NFA (Net Floor Area), program schedule, and comprehensive area breakdowns.

Preset typologies

DBF provides users with an extensive catalog of building typologies that can be instantly generated in any deveopment site, enabling them to explore and evaluate potential building designs for their projects.

Parametric typology editing

Parametric editing empowers users to adjsut design parameters for various buiding typologies. Users can visually fine-tune design elements by modifying associated parameters, and generate new design solutions reflecting these adjustments. The design updates real-time changes made ensuring an efficient and adaptable design process.

3D Editing

DBF provides efficient 3D Editing tool that enables users to finely adjust and shape building geometry with ease. It provides a user-friendly interface with intuitive controls, real-time feedback, and geometry control options for precise and creative editing. Designers can efficiently iterate on their architectural concepts, ensuring their designs align with their vision while maintaining accuracy and realism.

2D Editing

DBF offers streamlined 2D editing tools that empower users to define and manage essential design elements, including project site details and constraints. With these tools, users can effortlessly adjust building footprints to adhere to building regulation requirements like setbacks and minimum planning dimensions, ensuring compliance and precision in their designs.

Generate Facade

Generate Facade enables users to effortlessly browse and apply various facade options to their designs. Users can select from a list of predefined facades and apply them either to the entire design or to specific blocks within it. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to create and apply custom facade textures, empowering users to achieve a unique and personalized architectural aesthetic, enhancing efficiency and customization in the design process.

Generate Units

Generate Units helps users efficiently tackle the challenge of determining the ideal number of apartments, offices or keys that can be accommodated within a design by simply providing the desired size of unit and minimun unit dimensions. This feature enables users to enhance architectural quality and validate the feasibility of the design, simplifying the decision-making process and saving time in the design phase.

Generate Massing

Generate Massing enables users to expedite their design process by selecting from a list of default typologies, serving as a foundation for design generation. It allows users to explore design variations while automatically adapting to any changes in inputs or regulations, ensuring design relevance and compliance. This feature promotes efficiency, customization, and regulatory adherence while simplifying the design process for a diverse range of users.
