The Vision
|
|
|
|
| The
Virtual Cab starts with an idea. A vision that the designer has of
what the elevator cab should look like. Of course at this point the
vision is just that - an image in the mind of the designer. With something
as simple as a 'sketch' or an actual drawing, we can construct the
Virtual Cab. We then take this
sketch or drawing and construct a black and white CAD model of the
walls, ceilings and details. (Click on drawings

The Virtual Cab
....
|
|
| Using
the information in the CAD drawings, we now use sophisticated 3D software
to construct the Virtual Cab.
At this point we download or scan the actual material and colors desired
by the designer. For this feature project, we scanned in Stained Cherry,
two types of granite, and stainless steel. Our 3D software gives us
the ability to input specific information regarding the lighting system,
i.e. actual wattage, type of bulb (Halogen or incandescent, etc.)
which allows for projection of the effect that the lighting will have
on the finishes. |

.... Becomes Reality
|
|
| Although
not an exact replication, the Virtual Cab
gives the designer/ owner a 'glimpse into the future' before the project
begins. |
