A short overview of the most important innovations:

Calibration

• Exact adjustment of the image plane thanks to a measuring plane consisting of grid lines
• Flexible reference dimensions
• Faster lens correction

2D and 3D drawing functions

• Draw views
• Automatic surface finding function
• Draw 3D ground plans or site plans
• Damage documentation
• Determination of enveloping surfaces for creating an energy pass
• Individual calculations

Quick rectification of images and image sections

Extensive reports

2D and 3D export to CAD programs

• DXF interface
• Direct interface to Allplan of company Nemetschek
• Direct interface to AutoCAD of Autodesk
• Direct interface to -isb cad- of Glaser

Curamess offers in one application different possibilities for the utilization of images and is suitable for planners, experts, site managers, craftsmen and many others. The new version provides increased performance and flexibility. Selectable user interfaces as well as 2D and 3D export interfaces to various CAD systems make curamess a universal tool for daily work.

Requirements

Operating system :

Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7

Start with a Photograph scanned or from a digital camera

Load it into Curamess

Calibrate the photo

Pick the features from the image

Including windows and doors

When the measuring is complete

Curamess produces a complete report

Curamess exports to a range of programs

Curamess directly opens ARCON & Allplan

receive the rectified data from Curamess

Create the 3D model from the 2D drawing in minutes

Get the brick textures from the original Photograph

And finally render the Building model 

Curamess accepts images of all scanners and digital cameras in the common formats BMP, JPG, PNG and TIF:

Photos of buildings

Facades

Curamess requires only one rectangle with two known side lengths for calibrating an image plane.

Object Measuring Devices

Laser

Measuring Staff

Folding Rule/Measuring Tape

The lengths are assigned to the rectangle sides.

Key Plans

Ground Plans

Internet photos, photos per email or fax

Curamess displays the precision of the analysis immediately after the calibration.

Curamess is the only method working without image rectification.

The image is not modified and retains its original condition.

The right mouse button immediately displays the real coordinates of the image position.

The non-required image rectification enables a true-to-image, natural work.

Curamess saves the measurement results by redrawing the image with points, lines, rectangles, polylines, arcs and circles.

Simple and clear drawing functions

POINT  -  LINE  -  RECTANGLE  -  CIRCLE  -  ARC  -  POLYLINE

Snap fuctions according to the world-wide standard

END POINT

MID POINT

PERPENDICULAR

Comfortable zooming and moving with the mouse wheel

ZOOM IN + ZOOM OUT

PRESS WHEEL + MOVE MOUSE

MOVE VIEWING AREA (PAN)

curamess offers further comfortable functions for easily redrawing images

curamess provides detailed reports at the push of a button.

The head contains all project information

Lengths, circumferences and areas are listed in a table.

The list can be directly edited in curamess. All modifications in the report are displayed with a special colour

Specific reports regarding lengths, circumferences and areas are created.

RESULT AFTER EDIT

Curamess resets defaults, if necessary.

Curamess transfers drawing elements with state-of-the-art technology to CAD systems.

Every Curamess project contains a DXF interface

Optionally, Active-X interfaces are available
