ParaCloud has announced the release of ParaCloud GEM 5 Elements Edition. The new release includes a new components population system intended to assist with the scaling, positioning and orientation of components. With GEM 5 users can create batch population, using predefined pattern maps, and applying different population methods. ParaCloud GEM integrates with most popular CAD software, on Windows and Mac OSX. 

ParaCloud GEM provides control over the design model, allowing users to edit the design meshes to the level of an individual face or create sets with smart mapping tools. ParaCloud GEM also provides tools to manage offsets, buildups, parametric transformations and components proliferations. GEM also provides tools for exploring expected performative aspects of your design. Specify point of interests and relationships to explore variations of the design mesh and components.

ParaCloud GEM can generate 3D printable output and includes unfold layout tools for placing the components of your model in the fabrication plane. GEM allows users to document the components for shop drawings, and supports multi-layered materials for designing digital materials.
