CNC module supports Hundegger formats for Cambium system, files for K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, P8, P10, (BVX, BVN, BV) and for other machines (Krusimatic, Krüsimatic, Schmidler, Auer, Essetre, Weinmann, Integra, etc.) using BTL (and variants).

Let's start with VisKon start your Production Today!
Check below a short resume of VisKon A (roof module):
directly in 3D getting immediately results. The Roofs and Dormers Wizard have big options choice for wooden items that the most nice and expensive architectural BIM/CADs don't manage (in effect we have created Allplan and ArCon plug-ins). VisKon manages whether main wooden construction (rafters, hip/valley rafters, base/inferior/middle/ridge purlins, collar ties/beams, etc.) or light wooden construction (battens/counter-battens and boards) and each piece can be automatically exploded in technical drawing already dimensioned and starting quickly the productions. The same with for obtaining the wooden lists.
As well, VisKon allows to freely design offering tools as posts, studs, pillars, beams, planks, canopies, boarding, cornices, soffits, etc. and create other type of timber constructions.
This is the roofs wizard for the easy creation of roofs. With six easy steps it's possible to select the roof shapes, the type and other property details:
 |
During the roof creation or later you can change the roof profile just by a click on the button  . On the properties you can adjust slopes, slope heights from the floor, dimensions for primary timber beams: rafters, inferior purlins, middle purlins, ridge purlins, hip/valley purlins. The roof editor also manages the secondary wooden structure (planks and battens) in parametrically way.
|
FREE design of walls without any shape limitation:
|
Click the button  to adhjust height walls under the roof. The tool FREE surfaces allows to design new 3D solid (polygon extrusions) and to create solids as a Ceiling or simple Thermal Insulation Sheet shown in this example:
|
FREE design of roofs without any shape limitation:
|
Automatic rafter head joint (on the ridge point) as the half lap/halved/scarf joints or the perpendicular joints:
Height Above Plate (HAP) control with automatic rafter birdsmouths or purling trimming (executed by rafters):
|
Easy roofs with double structure (exposed roof)
1st, select the rafters properties:
|
2nd, as shown in following pictures just input the rafters on the slope in the upper and lower slope level as shown in the second pictures:
|
FREE rafters input between two points:
Rafters copy front to front or side by side:
|
Double tails (head) of rafters and sprockets:
|
With  and  buttons it's possible to easily create cornice and soffit:
|
Automatic collar beams/ties and ridge straps:
|
Editing of the roof geometry (eaves):
|
If you have to create a roof on a old floorplan with not right angles, (for example for an old building) and, you want to have levelled ridge and inferior (plate) purlin, then you have to create a undulating sail roof. Probably WETO is the only Software House in this segment that has developed a specific function to transform by a click the roof as a wave, simply stratching a roof surface vertex. Several options are available:
|
Merging roofs by a click with the tool  :
|
Automatic calculation for roof tiles need:
|
Advanced dormers with advanced wood construction:
|
Automatic wood construction adjustment for roof windows (sky windows) and chimneys hosting:
|
Automatic Hip and Valley rafters (or boards/planks) by a click  :
|
Serial beams/joists input: controlling distances, dimensions, etc:
|
Free design: following pergola has been created by the tool free beam/post/stud. With this group of tools, it's possible to create many kinds of structures.
|
In this example it is shown how to draw the last knee braces/brackets of the pergola on the stud/post:
|
For cutting the rectangular knee brace and to become trapezoidal it has been used the tool Controlled cut (cling/recess) described below.
With the new tool for Timber framing, it's very easy and fast to make a timber framing structure or pergola. You just need 3 clicks! You can parametrically control Studs/Posts, Knee braces/brackets, Noggings/Plates and Wall bracing:
|
We have to say that VisKon manages several type of beam as I-Joist but also other type like as parallelogram etc... :
|
To quick create boarding surfaces, the new tool  and  , have been introduced. To generate new panelling by a simple click, there is another the new button  . All tools mentioned, are very easy. You simply click the surface that you want to coat, the direction of the placement, and on the parametric dialog you will define sizes, displacement and some other details for well boarding and panelling. In this example has been used the functionnallity for Panelling:
|
Tenon and Mortise  , will be applied by a simple click onto 1st and 2nd element to join:
|
Tenon detail (from upper example):
|
Dove tails joints  or  :
|
Controlled cut (cling/recess)  : just select the beam to join and the side plane as cut reference that will become GREEN (see following picture):
|
Chamfer  . Just a click to an existing reference (help line or surface) and the program cut the beam. In following example, originally the beam was squared and after some cut with this tool, it became pentagonal. The feature "As another longitudinal cut" make sum of one cut to the other existing cuts (in the picture last cut is the help line):
|
|
Plain scarf joint  :
|
|
and hooked scarf joint  .
|
|
Birdsmouths are AUTOMATED but you can also have FREE birdsmouths by a click on the buttons  and  :
|
|
Brake/Disconnect tool  for the loads distribution.
|
|
Automatic setting boards with groove  :
|
|
Heel joints  (typically used for trusses) and beams molding (profiling)  .
|
|
Drill tools  :
|
|
and slot tool  . The example shows a recess but with the feature unlimited you can easily get a complete recess as a hole.
|
|
The program creates AUTOMATIC marking, but if you need to make FREE marking you can use the this  :
|
|
and free notches/grooves  simply selecting on the dialog box the side where to apply this work.
|
|
Rabbet tool  on the selected side that you checked on the dialog box:
|
|
and chamfer/smooth tool  simply selecting with a check box the side where to apply them.
|
|
Steel profiles  (I, U, L, T, Z... beams) and steel connectors/plates  and  :
|
For serial works it's available the multi copy tool. You can type how many copies to do and the distance (check following Italian truss copy):
|
Numerically item moving  and rafter heights moving  . |
Just a click  and you get the elevation of the profile drawing with automatic dimensions:
|
Just a click  and you get the component drawing with automatic dimensions and you are ready for cutting!
|
3D views  with automatic dimensions and CNC number useful for the assemblers:
|
Button  automatically creates any cross section on horizontal or vertical planes.
|
All timber lists and other computations output by a click for Excel or PDF:
|
Windows and Doors (free geometry):
