Parts Library 
With Athena going from 2D Drawings to 3D Models is a very rapid process, because Athena works from a Wireframe model it is now possible to use the Center lines from the drawing elevations to produce 3D Models.
Some functions of the 3D module as examples
Create and edit Assembly
The Bar Assemblies Manager facilitates the grouping of a number of profiles to form an assembly, e.g., a
transom with sealing strips, insulator and cover section. Within an assembly, the components can be modified
or reassigned. Also, the components can be rotated and mirrored, and the insertion points can be displaced.
Infills
You can create infills, e.g., panels that can make up several layers. The infills are assigned to boundary objects, for instance
mullions and transoms. When an infill is assigned, the insets are quickly and easily defined. The inset can be different
for each edge, and also different for each layer. In this way, notched glazing can be created.
Bar diagram
After the automatic profile joints (cuttings) routine has been run, bar diagrams can be produced. A 2D bar diagram of the
profile with lengths, angles and part numbers is automatically created.
|
Create parts lists
Parts lists can be created directly from the 3D drawing from all parts used in the construction. Infill
lists and bar lists, including raw and cut-lengths of the profiles, can be created. The lists are created
in MS-Excel/Access format.

Simplified Display
The profiles can either be displayed in full detail or simplified. There are four different display levels. The
simplest display (rectangles) reduces the file size to 1/15th, and the working speed increases correspondingly.
