HiCAD for Glazing & Curtain Wall Design

Advanced tools for curtain walls, glass façades, unitized systems, and fabrication-ready data.

Challenges & Solutions

Manually rebuilding façade grids after design changes.

HiCAD’s parametric façade grids automatically places mullions, transoms, offsets,  glass,  and supports ease of design changes. 

Coordinating multi-layer glass and custom profile systems.

HiCAD enables exact glass buildup modeling, profile libraries, and custom profile design for full geometric and thermal accuracy.

Disconnected workflows between CAD and LogiKal®.

HiCAD’s LogiKal® integration enables the exchange of profile data, glass, fittings, and calculations for precise fabrication planning.

Curtain Wall Systems

Design stick-built and unitized curtain wall systems using parametric façade tools. HiCAD automates grid creation, profile placement, infills, and connection logic.

  • Parametric curtain wall grids with adjustable spacing & alignment

  • Automatic insertion of mullions, transoms & connecting profiles

  • Support for vertical, sloped & faceted façade geometries

  • Multi-layer façade build-up with gaskets, caps & substructures

  • Elevations, Sections, & Detail Drawings automatically update with design changes.

Glass Façades

HiCAD supports complex glass modeling for modern façade systems, including insulated glass units (IGUs), laminated glass, coatings, spacers, and multi-layer assemblies.

  • Model single, laminated & insulated glass units

  • Customize coatings, spacers, thickness & layer build-ups

  • Automatic alignment of glass with profiles and anchors

  • Supports curved, sloped, & freeform glass geometries

  • Generates glass schedules & fabrication data automatically

LogiKal® Integration

HiCAD integrates with LogiKal® to streamline aluminum system planning, profile selection, structural checks, and fabrication preparation.

  • Exchange profile geometries & system data with LogiKal®
  • Synchronize fittings, glass data & material specifications
  • Validate structural performance & thermal requirements
  • Ensure consistency between CAD design & fabrication planning
  • Reduce double work through shared data environments

Bill of Materials (BOM) & Fabrication Output

Convert your glazing model into fabrication-ready information with automated BOMs, cutting lists, assembly numbering, and production drawings.

  • Automatic BOM generation for profiles, glass & hardware
  • Part numbering & labeling for every curtain wall/ façade component
  • Create profile cutting lists & glass takeoffs directly from the model
  • Generate fabrication drawings with weld symbols & dimensions
  • Export DXF, STEP, NC & IFC formats for manufacturing/BIM
