DESIGN HACKS
How to adjust shower fitting models using Virtual Worlds
Daniel Kirkbright, training manager at Virtual Worlds, shows us how customising shower fi ttings can create the bespoke setup your customer longs for
T
he problem with a lot of CAD software programs is that using hard-modelled objects is often the only available option, which offers little or no fl exibility in your design. In a perfect world, your design system will
allow you to visualise exact layouts of every element of the room no matter their physical qualities. The hard-modelled shower hose, for example, is a well-known failure when it comes to visualising a fl exible product in CAD. It is simply impossible to position the connected hose ends as required and that is a real cause of concern relating to misrepresentation.
Tailored design solution The Virtual Worlds innovations team has delivered an amazing design solution for this shower hose conundrum. A newly developed physics
engine was the
breakthrough to see shower hoses behave as they would in real life. Now you can match a shower slide rail kit to a wall outlet, exposed shower mixer or bath shower mixer and
the fl exible hose allows you to
accurately position every aspect of the shower kit layout.
The simplest way to work with dynamic hoses is to... 1. Insert the slide rail kit fi rst. 2. If required, ‘Replace’ the wall outlet with the valve of choice. 3. Press the ‘Alt’ key to suspend the group while moving the rail, valve, or wall outlet.
