<h2>Data Protection and Digital Rights Management for CAD Files</h2>
<p>Secude is headquartered in Lucerne, Switzerland and is a leading global provider of data protection and digital rights management solutions serving the AEC industry. Secude's solutions extend corporate data governance and data loss prevention (DLP) to CAD and related construction files through integration with systems that work with Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP).</p>
<p>This protection remains attached to the protected files wherever they travel. It provides a means for file tracking through real-time activity logs and prevents unauthorised access through encryption technology. Access controls defined in protection policies can grant specific users very granular access to individual application functions when working with shared documents.</p>
<h2>Why CAD Files Are a Governance Blind Spot</h2>
<p>Most enterprise data protection was built around documents, email and spreadsheets. Drawings, models and design files often fall outside it - they live in specialist applications, move between design partners, contractors and fabricators, and frequently carry the most commercially sensitive intellectual property a project produces. A protection scheme that covers the Office estate but stops at the CAD environment leaves exactly the wrong gap. Secude's approach is to bring those file types inside the same governance framework the rest of the business already uses, rather than running a separate parallel system for design data.</p>
<h2>Watermarking, Metadata and Digital Signing</h2>
<p>Secude solutions provide capabilities for applying digital watermarking, metadata implantation and digital signing technology to CAD and related construction documents. Used in combination, these create several routes to proving non-repudiated document ownership and validating the intended parties documents were shared with. This does not completely limit access, but it does provide a way to determine accountability should sensitive files be leaked.</p>
<h2>Automated Compliance Marking</h2>
<p>Secude solutions provide additional capabilities for automating compliance markings on CAD and other construction-related files. This includes specific markings for Export Controlled Information (ECI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for CMMC compliance, and can incorporate dynamic watermarking that shows the last user to edit the file along with a timestamp.</p>
<p>For firms working on defence, aerospace or federal infrastructure projects, these markings are contractual obligations rather than good practice, and applying them by hand across thousands of drawing files is both slow and unreliable. Automating the marking step is often what makes compliance workable at project scale.</p>
<h2>The Secude Application Suite</h2>
<h3>HaloCAD</h3>
<p>HaloCAD applies Microsoft Purview Information Protection sensitivity labels and AES encryption directly to files from within the CAD user interface. This is seamless to the user and allows CAD files to become classified and operate within the Purview data governance platform, so DLP policies can be applied to ensure data cannot be stolen.</p>
<p>MPIP sensitivity labels also provide rules enforceable inside the CAD interface, adding a layer of access control defined at user or group level by restricting functions such as edit, export and print. The AES encryption applied by MPIP ensures that files are useless to anyone who manages to get them outside the enterprise.</p>
<h3>HaloSHARE</h3>
<p>HaloSHARE is a workflow tool that performs batch transformation of CAD, Microsoft Office and PDF files to apply various levels of identification and protection. Its digital rights management methods include document compliance marking, metadata implantation and digital document signing, all performed batch style, delivering the transformed documents to multiple local or cloud data stores including Autodesk Docs.</p>
<p>Document marking can include standard watermarking or specially formatted text identifying Export Controlled Information, Controlled Unclassified Information or other special compliance markings. Metadata implantation and digital signing ensure documents can be traced back to their original owners or to the parties they were shared with. HaloSHARE MPIP methods can also bulk-process files to apply sensitivity labels, encrypt or decrypt files, and deliver them to multiple local or cloud-hosted destination storage locations.</p>
<h2>Protection That Survives Sharing</h2>
<p>The distinguishing characteristic of this model is that controls travel with the file rather than sitting around it. Perimeter security, access-controlled folders and secure file transfer all stop working the moment a drawing legitimately leaves the organisation - which, on any real project, it must. Persistent encryption and embedded policy mean a file forwarded outside its intended recipient list still refuses to open, and one that is opened still records who opened it and when.</p>
<h2>Who Secude Serves</h2>
<p>Secude's solutions are aimed at architecture, engineering and construction organisations, manufacturers and asset owners that handle sensitive design data across distributed project teams and external supply chains - particularly those subject to export control, CMMC or comparable regulatory regimes where the consequences of an uncontrolled drawing release extend well beyond commercial risk.</p>

<h2>About Luminocity AG</h2>
<p>Luminocity AG is a Swiss software-development agency headquartered in Schaffhausen with deep specialty in real-time 3D, AR/VR/XR, AI integration in 3D pipelines, and AEC plugin engineering.</p>
<p>The agency operates as a hybrid services-plus-products company: alongside selective paid engagements with external customers, Luminocity ships several internal product lines that demonstrate the team's range across browser-native 3D, cloud BIM, and Gaussian-Splatting digital twins.</p>
<h2>Product Portfolio</h2>
<h3>GeoVision - Cloud BIM Visualisation</h3>
<p>GeoVision is a cloud BIM visualisation platform built on top of the Speckle data layer. Custom Revit and Archicad plugins (Rhino coming soon) move BIM models into a shareable web viewer where AEC teams collaborate, comment, and version on a single link - without anyone needing Revit or Archicad installed.</p>
<p>The plugin family captures PBR materials, lighting, and exposed metadata, notably above what stock Speckle connectors provide. That fidelity gap matters in practice: most web viewers strip material and lighting data, which makes them adequate for coordination but not for design review.</p>
<p>A companion Unity 6 HDRP desktop application extends the workflow with immersive walkthrough and AI photorealistic image generation via the Grok (xAI) API. Live at geovision.cloud and app.geovision.cloud.</p>
<h3>Lemonate - Browser-Native 3D Game Engine</h3>
<p>Lemonate is a complete open-source 3D game engine and editor that runs entirely in the browser, built ground-up by the Luminocity team. It features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A LUA scripting layer for game logic</li>
<li>A full engine API across rendering, physics (rigid bodies, vehicle, NavMesh), positional audio, particle systems, materials and shaders</li>
<li>A broad scene-object library including Gaussian Splats</li>
</ul>
<p>Source code is public on Codeberg. A public games gallery, community asset library, and beginner and advanced tutorial series support the developer community, and Lemonate has a public roadmap committed through 2027.</p>
<h3>3D Replicas - Gaussian-Splatting Digital Twins</h3>
<p>3D Replicas is a productised 3D Gaussian-Splatting digital-twin pipeline for cultural heritage, museums, and architectural sites. The three-stage workflow - on-site or studio capture, 3DGS reconstruction, and cloud-delivered web, VR or archive output - has produced active client work in 2026 across multiple Italian heritage sites and Swiss commercial and civic spaces.</p>
<p>Three productised offerings are available:</p>
<ul>
<li>Interactive Web Viewer</li>
<li>Virtual Museum Experience (VR/AR)</li>
<li>Digital Archive and Collection Management Platform</li>
</ul>
<h2>Unity 3D Consulting</h2>
<p>Unity 3D consulting is the agency's bench-rental side: bespoke Unity3D engagements covering 3D content design, immersive experiences, custom rendering pipelines, and cross-platform deployment - delivered by the same engineering bench that ships GeoVision's Unity 6 HDRP desktop application.</p>
<h2>Engineering Track Record</h2>
<p>The team's senior engineers carry more than 20 years of cumulative deep experience shipping advanced 3D systems with a cross-platform C++ core, integrated through Unity3D and browser-native runtimes. Past work includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Industry-standard media servers used in demanding multimedia setups since 2007, including Eurovision Song Contests, large-scale 3D projection mappings, and major touring productions</li>
<li>The MVX 2D / 3D / 4D file format and processing framework, presented at SIGGRAPH 2016</li>
<li>Hardware-emulation work for leading VR device manufacturers</li>
<li>A native Meta Quest VR application release</li>

<h2>About EM2N</h2>
<p>EM2N is a Swiss architecture practice founded by Mathias M&uuml;ller and Daniel Niggli, operating as EM2N AG from Binzstrasse in Zurich with a second office, EM2N Architekten Berlin GmbH, in Berlin. The practice marked its 25th anniversary in 2023 and also works through Atelier Kanal Architects in Brussels on its major Belgian commission.</p>
<p>The office is a member of the Swiss professional bodies SIA and BSA, and its founders maintain an active teaching and lecturing presence at institutions including ETH Zurich, TU Berlin, the Milan Polytechnic and the Melbourne School of Design.</p>
<h2>Working With What Exists</h2>
<p>EM2N's defining preoccupation is the transformation of existing buildings. The practice argues that existing structures should be understood not merely as heritage to be preserved but as a resource for sustainable transformation - a position summarised in project titles such as adaptation instead of new build, and never demolish.</p>
<p>This is more than a stylistic preference. Roughly a third of global carbon emissions are associated with construction, and a large share of that is embodied in materials already standing. A practice that specialises in converting rather than replacing is addressing that problem directly, and EM2N has described its ambition as regenerative architecture rather than merely sustainable architecture.</p>
<h2>Notable Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Toni-Areal, Zurich</strong> - conversion of a former dairy plant into a major arts university campus containing concert halls, a ballet hall, cinema and studios, one of the most significant adaptive reuse projects in Switzerland</li>
<li><strong>Kanal Centre Pompidou, Brussels</strong> - transformation of a former Citro&euml;n garage into a contemporary art museum, delivered through Atelier Kanal</li>
<li><strong>Binzstrasse office and commercial building, Zurich</strong> - a stepped, heavily planted building honoured with a Swiss Arc Award</li>
<li><strong>Heuried Sports Centre, Zurich</strong> - ice rink and swimming facility</li>
<li><strong>Briesestrasse housing, Berlin Neuk&ouml;lln</strong> - experimental housing nominated for the DAM Preis</li>
<li><strong>Museum and archive building, Basel</strong> - bringing two collections of knowledge under one roof</li>
<li><strong>Temporary pavilion for Zurich Opera House</strong> - a demountable structure exploring temporary building in the city</li>
<li><strong>Stadtpark Apartments, Uster</strong> and <strong>Sagi Areal</strong> - residential and mixed-use development</li>
</ul>
<h2>Sectors</h2>
<p>The portfolio spans cultural buildings and museums, housing at scale, education and university campuses, sports and leisure facilities, offices and commercial buildings, and urban masterplanning - including new quarters in Basel and Berlin.</p>
<h2>Competition Practice</h2>
<p>Like most serious European practices, EM2N wins a substantial share of its work through open competition, regularly placing first in contests for schools, sports halls, housing ensembles and civic buildings across Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium. Competition success at this frequency is a reliable indicator of design standing among peers.</p>
<h2>Sustainability and Materials</h2>
<p>Alongside reuse, the practice explores vertical greening, energy-generating buildings, buildings conceived as material stores for future reuse, and modular construction - themes visible in projects described as energy machines and materials stores.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>EM2N is among the most respected mid-sized practices in the German-speaking architecture world, competing on conceptual rigour and a distinctive expertise in complex conversions of industrial and institutional buildings.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know EM2N</h2>
<p>For architects and clients considering adaptive reuse, industrial conversion or low-carbon transformation of existing stock, EM2N is one of the most instructive European practices working in the built environment today.</p>

EM2N is a Swiss architecture practice in Zurich and Berlin, known for adaptive reuse, cultural buildings, housing and the Toni-Areal and Kanal Centre Pompidou.

<h2>About Timbatec</h2>
<p>Timbatec Holzbauingenieure is a specialist timber construction engineering company operating across Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Trading as Timbatec Holzbauingenieure Schweiz AG in German-speaking Switzerland, Timbatec ing&eacute;nieurs bois SA in the French-speaking cantons and Timbatec Holzbauingenieure ZT GmbH in Austria, the firm has built its practice entirely around one material. As more and more large buildings are constructed from renewable timber, that focus has moved from niche to strategically important.</p>
<h2>Core Competencies</h2>
<h3>Statics and Construction</h3>
<p>Structural engineering for timber and timber-hybrid buildings, covering load paths, connection design, deflection, vibration and the detailing that determines whether a mass timber structure is buildable at a sensible cost. Timber behaves very differently from steel and concrete - it is anisotropic, moisture-sensitive and creeps under sustained load - so this expertise is not interchangeable with general structural practice.</p>
<h3>Fire Protection</h3>
<p>Fire engineering for timber structures is the single biggest obstacle to taller wooden buildings. Timbatec works on charring rates, encapsulation strategies, compartmentation and code compliance, allowing timber schemes to satisfy regulators in markets where combustible structure has historically been restricted.</p>
<h3>Building Physics</h3>
<p>Acoustics, thermal performance, moisture management and airtightness. Impact sound between timber floors and long-term moisture behaviour within build-ups are recurring technical challenges that must be resolved at design stage rather than on site.</p>
<h3>Product Development</h3>
<p>The company develops timber construction products and systems, moving beyond project-by-project engineering into repeatable solutions the wider industry can adopt.</p>
<h2>Innovation Lab</h2>
<p>Timbatec runs a dedicated Innovation Lab, reflecting a research-led approach to timber engineering. Mass timber is a fast-moving field in which connection systems, hybrid assemblies and fire test evidence continue to evolve, and firms that invest in testing tend to shape the codes rather than simply follow them.</p>
<h2>Office Network</h2>
<p>The practice operates from seven Swiss offices - Thun, Zurich, Bern, Del&eacute;mont, Lucerne, Lausanne and St. Gallen - plus a Vienna office in Austria and a Hamburg presence in Germany. That footprint covers both the German- and French-speaking regions of Switzerland and gives the firm access to the wider DACH timber market. The Zurich office recently marked twenty years of operation.</p>
<h2>Project Types</h2>
<p>Timbatec engineers a broad range of timber and hybrid buildings, including residential and multi-storey housing, care and senior living facilities such as the Wier nursing home in Ebnat-Kappel, schools and public buildings, offices and commercial structures, and industrial and agricultural buildings. The Wier project also illustrates a growing theme in Swiss timber construction: all the wood came from surrounding communities, requiring careful coordination of supply as well as design.</p>
<h2>Why Timber Engineering Matters</h2>
<p>Timber is the only structural material that sequesters carbon, and mass timber construction is central to reducing embodied emissions in buildings. Realising that benefit depends on engineers who can satisfy structural, fire and acoustic requirements at the same time - which is precisely the combination Timbatec offers.</p>
<h2>Market Position</h2>
<p>Timbatec is among the leading timber engineering consultancies in the DACH region, competing on depth rather than breadth. For architects and developers pursuing mass timber, that specialist knowledge is usually the difference between a scheme that gains approval and one that reverts to concrete.</p>
<h2>Why AEC Teams Should Know Timbatec</h2>
<p>Any team planning a mass timber or hybrid building will find Timbatec a valuable reference for structural design, timber fire strategy and building physics across the built environment.</p>

<p>Raven &ndash; AI-Driven Grasshopper Scripting<br><br>Raven is an intelligent plugin for Rhino's Grasshopper that uses generative AI to create, edit, and iterate parametric scripts from natural language or image input. Whether you're ideating from scratch or refining an existing definition, Raven transforms your intent into fully functioning Grasshopper logic, using native components and wiring them directly onto your canvas.<br><br>With Raven, scripting becomes conversational. Describe what you want&mdash;a twisting tower, a recursive facade, or a hexagonal grid responsive to attractors&mdash;and Raven assembles the logic in seconds. Upload a reference image, and Raven interprets its structure or patterns to produce geometry that reflects your design goals. Powered by the romantic technology cloud, Raven connects the creative process with architectural computation in a seamless and intuitive workflow.<br><br>Getting started is easy: create an account at romantic.technology to receive free tokens. After that, simply plug your API key into the Raven interface and start transforming words and images into procedural design. No coding experience is necessary&mdash;just creative curiosity.<br><br>Raven&rsquo;s core strength lies in iteration. Unlike one-shot generators, Raven allows you to continually evolve your design. With a script open, you can ask Raven to change a parameter, replace a component, add geometry, or reorganize logic. It understands both your canvas and your intent, and responds intelligently to refine your system step by step.<br><br>Already installed on over 500 systems across Windows and macOS, Raven is fully compatible with Rhino 8. Its deep integration with the Grasshopper API ensures every operation&mdash;from adding components to creating connections and applying changes&mdash;is done cleanly and precisely, just like a human expert would.<br><br>Whether you're a student learning the basics, a designer exploring new patterns, or an architect building complex systems, Raven gives you a powerful creative partner. It speeds up prototyping, enhances experimentation, and lowers the barrier to parametric thinking.<br><br>Raven is not just a plugin&mdash;it&rsquo;s a design collaborator, a real-time assistant, and a new way of thinking about geometry. Say what you want. See it appear. Iterate and evolve. That&rsquo;s the magic of Raven.</p>

<p>GeoVision is a cloud BIM visualization platform built on top of Speckle, designed for AEC professionals who need to share BIM models with non-technical stakeholders without requiring them to install Revit, Archicad, or any other authoring tool. AI photorealistic rendering is delivered through a companion Unity 6 HDRP desktop application.</p>
<p>Custom Revit and Archicad plugins (Rhino coming soon) move models into a shareable web viewer where teams collaborate, comment, and version infinitely. The plugin family captures PBR materials, lighting, and exposed metadata - notably above what stock Speckle connectors provide.</p>
<p>Key capabilities:</p>
<p>- Cloud-based BIM web viewer with element-level commenting, infinite versioning, and shareable links for non-technical stakeholders. No Revit or Archicad installation required for viewers.<br>- Custom Revit and Archicad plugin family with PBR materials, lighting, exposed metadata, and direct-to-cloud sync. Rhino plugin coming soon.<br>- Unity 6 HDRP desktop application written from scratch (separate from the web viewer, reading the same Speckle data model), featuring 19+ PBR material schemas, Walking / Fly / Orbit camera modes, and AI photorealistic image generation via the Grok (xAI) API.<br>- Production fork of the Speckle data layer, deployed at app.geovision.cloud.</p>
<p>Common use cases for AEC firms:</p>
<p>- Sharing BIM models with clients, general contractors, insurance adjusters, and jurisdictional reviewers without requiring them to install authoring software (web viewer).<br>- Running design reviews with non-Revit users (web viewer).<br>- Producing AI photorealistic renders for marketing materials, project proposals, and stakeholder presentations (Unity desktop app).<br>- Providing immersive walkthrough experiences for design reviews and stakeholder presentations (Unity desktop app).<br>- Supporting post-disaster rebuild architects and other practitioners who need to share BIM data with stakeholders who do not have authoring tools.</p>
<p>GeoVision is built by Luminocity AG, a Swiss software-development agency in Schaffhausen with specialty in real-time 3D, AR/VR/XR, AI integration, and AEC plugin engineering. The team operates a remote delivery pod model: customers describe what they need, the team handles execution internally (engineering, project management, QA), customers receive working deliverables on the agreed cadence.</p>
<p>Sister product lines at Luminocity AG include Lemonate (open-source 3D game engine running entirely in the browser) and 3D Replicas (productized 3D Gaussian-Splatting digital twins for cultural heritage and museum collections).</p>

<p data-start="0" data-end="393">HaloCAD is built for the reality of design and engineering work: CAD files rarely stay inside one company. Models and drawings move to suppliers, fabricators, and clients, and the intellectual property moves with them. Rather than trying to guard that data only at the network edge, HaloCAD embeds protection into the file itself, so access policy and encryption travel wherever the file goes.</p>
<p data-start="395" data-end="803">The idea is simple but powerful. Sensitivity labels and usage rights&mdash;who can open, print, copy, or export&mdash;are attached at creation or at the moment a file leaves the authoring environment. If the recipient changes, or a project ends, access can be revoked without chasing down every copy. Because the controls live with the file, governance remains intact across email, shared drives, PLM, and cloud portals.</p>
<p data-start="805" data-end="1299">HaloCAD is designed to work with the tools engineers already use. Teams can keep modeling in Autodesk, Siemens, PTC, and similar ecosystems while the correct label and policy are applied automatically in the background. Partners and vendors who aren&rsquo;t on the same stack can still participate: a lightweight reader supports secure, read-only access so collaboration doesn&rsquo;t stall. The goal is to reduce manual steps and remove the &ldquo;did we lock that export?&rdquo; worry that leads to accidental leaks.</p>
<p data-start="1301" data-end="1810">Supply chains are where risk concentrates, and HaloCAD&rsquo;s file-centric approach helps close common gaps. It supports mixed CAD and PLM environments&mdash;think Teamcenter alongside SolidWorks or Creo, or SAP ECTR with Solid Edge&mdash;so the same policy language is enforced across formats and repositories. That consistency matters for compliance programs as well, where organizations need to show not only that sensitive data is identified, but that it remains protected throughout its lifecycle with an auditable trail.</p>
<p data-start="1812" data-end="2239">For engineering leadership, the benefits show up in fewer exceptions and clearer accountability. Automatic labeling at the source shortens handoffs between design and IT. Purchasing and program managers gain confidence that vendor packages won&rsquo;t spill beyond the intended audience. Security teams can point to concrete controls&mdash;encryption, rights, and monitoring attached to the file&mdash;rather than a patchwork of perimeter rules.</p>
<p data-start="2241" data-end="2646">In day-to-day terms, HaloCAD turns &ldquo;secure sharing&rdquo; from a process checklist into a property of the CAD asset. Designers keep working in their familiar applications. Partners get only the access they need. And the organization keeps control of its IP&mdash;even after the file leaves the building. The result is faster collaboration with far less risk, which is exactly what high-velocity product teams require.</p>
