ASSA ABLOY UK Specification, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, has released the latest version of Openings StudioTM, the BIM-enabled product specification tool.

Openings Studio 3.0 includes enhanced features and a refreshed user interface, helping to improve the user experience with real-time 3D visualisation. The latest Openings Studio upgrade also features detailed renderings and virtual models.

Openings Studio has been designed to help minimise costs and streamline the data sharing process throughout the entire project lifecycle, by acting as a collaborative tool for all project stakeholders involved – from the initial design, through to construction, delivery, asset management and beyond.

The software, suitable for all building projects and applications, provides product information and performance data to ensure building regulations are adhered to, while 3D views guarantee full design integration.

Those using Openings Studio can also create Virtual Design Guides, which essentially serve as a library of typical openings, that architects can then use when designing buildings.

The data is available in multiple formats to ensure easy collaboration with all stakeholders, and Openings Studio supports popular BIM tools such as Autodesk® Revit.
