NVF in AutoCAD (Ventilated Facade Design)
This in-depth practical course is specifically designed for engineers aiming to master the full design cycle of Rain-Screen Ventilated Facades (NVF). You will progress from learning fundamental terminology to generating detailed manufacturing data and automated specifications.
Who is this course for?
This is a hands-on course for engineers covering the entire facade workflow: from basic principles and terminology to the preparation of working documentation and production data.
Course Program & Key Skills
- System Fundamentals: Study of facade system types and the physics of the ventilated air gap.
- Materials & Substructures: Overview of modern substructures (aluminum, galvanized steel, stainless steel) and cladding types.
- Technical Detailing: Detailed development of connection nodes, fixings, and insulation systems.
- Façade Layouts: Building precise facade elevations and flat patterns in AutoCAD.
- Quantity Takeoffs: Automated material calculations and optimization of estimates.
- Manufacturing Data: Preparing workshop documentation, including cutting patterns and facade element schedules.
Learning Outcome
You will gain hands-on experience by working on a real-world project, understanding the critical link between structural design and installation technology. By the end of the course, you will be able to independently manage an NVF project from initial sketch to production-ready data.
