From high on the drawing board: the Terrán offers an innovative solution for accurate planning

For Terrán, it has always been a priority to provide an appropriate and accessible body of knowledge. In order to make the best possible decision on an important issue such as construction or renovation, it is crucial to have accurate and detailed information. However, in addition to supporting the public, Terrán, which has been around for over a century, has always tried to meet the needs of designers, thus helping architects.

Complex design support interface

The Terrán AddOn programme, which is part of the ArchiCAD programme, also serves to support the profession.

With this complex design support platform specifically designed for architects, all information is available to professionals at the touch of a button.

It allows you to access all relevant, important information not only about roof tiles but also about ancillary products, without leaving the ArchiCAD interface. Specific installation basic data and a photorealistic visualisation complete the design. The interface also provides designers with detailed information on the Generon solar roof tiles, which can be integrated into the plans and placed on the roof as drawn. Thanks to the visualisation plans, the builder can realise the aesthetic benefits of the product at the design stage.

From the air to the ground

One of the latest innovations in spatial data collection is laser scanning. The architectural engineers and roofing specialists at Terrán, together with the geoinformatics experts at the similarly Hungarian-owned Envirosense Hungary Kft. have jointly developed the EnviMap system.

The unique LiDAR technology models roof planes with LOD2 detail. The scanner can measure and record tens of millions of points in its environment in a short period of time.

With the EnviMAP, you can retrieve near-realistic, high-detail roof data, including roof area, pitch and pitch angle data. The EnviMAP currently provides information on building geometry data for 2100 municipalities in the country. The aerial laser survey will assist contractors and professionals, supporting accurate design.
