Of the many powerful presentation features offered by AVAproject, one of the most popular is undoubtedly the automated catalog cut selection for architectural hardware products. Manufacturer-provided catalog cuts are curated by the AVAware Catalog Development team and relevant pages are associated with the related products in the catalogs. When a submittal package is created in AVAproject, the catalog cuts relating to hardware products used in a given project are automatically collated and added to the document.
Not only does this process save countless hours of time gathering and appending cut sheets to a submittal, but AVAproject offers a number of additional benefits. Multiple extracts from individual manufacturers are organized into a logical sequence, while sheets are rendered from their vector-based source files in order to perfectly preserve their original quality.
Cut sheets can also be rescaled to fit within a page border, with optional data block and page number, to make them perfectly consistent with the rest of the submittal document and individually labels each sheet with the distributor's name and logo.

The page numbers assigned to catalog cut pages can be automatically added as references to Hardware Schedules |
Until now, catalog cuts were exclusively a feature of Division-8 and Division-10 architectural hardware products. Companion images for door and frame catalogs were facilitated through the AVAproject 'Attachments' feature.
AVAproject 2019 now features catalog cuts for door and frames; the functionality of which is a combination of the hardware catalog cuts and the door & frame attachments.
Like the hardware catalog cuts, manufacturer-provided cuts sheets are curated by the catalog development team and are automatically added to the end the of the submittal document as required. As with the 'attachments', the selection process can be driven based on any products and/or options selected from within the catalog.
The result is a submittal package containing only the most relevant cut sheets pertaining to the given project, organized by manufacturer and appended to the document.
Cut sheets will be added to existing door & frame catalog as they are updated by the various manufacturers, and based on the availability of related cut sheets.
