Kimball

This tool works in a similar fashion to Cap Auto Hardware.  The tool analyzes a selection set containing worksurfaces and structure runs, and inserts all required worksurface and overhead mounting bracketry into the drawing.

Note: Auto-Brackets for Xsite DOES NOT check for the presence of Xsite Traxx at the required locations. Be sure to check your Elevation designs to ensure that horizontal tile seams and hence their accompanying Xsite Traxx are available for proper worksurface support.

Rules for Kimball bracket placement

Auto-Brackets exceptions

Kimball Office’s Xsite is a wall system product line that has many unique characteristics, which require customized Cap capabilities.  For example, Xsite is not a typical "frame and tile" wall system.  It is an assembly of parts that provide high levels of flexibility, where a wall’s length and tile design dictate the structural frame components.

The lack of defined "frames" or "panels" represents a departure from more common space planning and design automation tools.  Therefore Cap provides tools and methodologies for planning and specifying Xsite projects.
