CAD/BIM Family Pack — Acoustic Wall Panels

CAD blocks (DWG AutoCAD, DXF interchange), Revit family (RFA), IFC (openBIM) for OrangePiel printed acoustical panels — elevation + section + plan views, with mounting hardware geometry (Z-clip, French cleat, impaling clip, aircraft cable). Bundle ZIP includes all formats. At a glance — DWG (AutoCAD 2018+), DXF (interchange), IFC (openBIM), RFA (Revit 2022+), bundled ZIP. Software compatibility: AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, SketchUp (DWG/DXF import), any IFC-compliant BIM platform. Coordinate system: origin at bottom-left of panel face. Units: inches (imperial) AND millimeters (metric) — both systems included. Detail level: LOD 300 (geometric model with mounting hardware integrated). Panel geometries: standard 1-inch panel as DWG, DXF, IFC, and Revit family (parametric, with mounting hardware as nested family). Panel sizes 12" × 12" up to 192" × 192" (16 ft × 16 ft seamless on both axes); custom sizing within those bounds available. Continuous joined-panel runs to 200 ft on a single installed surface with registered seams. Mounting hardware geometries — all four options included as DWG, DXF, IFC, and as nested Revit families: Z-clip (drywall + plywood substrates, the workhorse spec), French cleat (renter-friendly removable installs), impaling clip (CMU + concrete substrates), aircraft cable + ceiling termination (suspended ceiling baffles + clouds). Section + elevation views included: elevation (panel face), plan (top view + mounting position), wall section details for Z-clip / French cleat / impaling clip (showing air gap, panel thickness, substrate, anchor), reflected ceiling plan for aircraft cable layout. The wall section files include substrate (drywall, plywood, CMU, or concrete on appropriate layers), mounting hardware, air gap dimension callout, panel cross-section, and anchor specification per substrate. Air gap + NRC performance — important callout: the OrangePiel acoustic panel is rated NRC 0.85 per ASTM C423 in Type A mounting (panel direct to chamber wall, no air gap). When installed with a 25 mm air gap (Z-clip standard), low-frequency absorption improves to NRC 0.86-0.88. With a 50 mm+ air gap (suspended ceiling cloud), NRC reaches 0.90+ with significant low-frequency boost. The air gap dimension is included in the wall section detail files. Specifiers should match the air gap to the project's RT60 target. Supporting documents: Mounting Hardware Specification Sheet (PDF — per-hardware load tables + substrate compatibility chart), Air Gap + NRC Performance Notes (PDF), Panel Sizing Chart (PDF — standard sizes + custom sizing on request). Companion specifications on the trade portal: CSI 3-Part Spec (Section 09 84 00), NRC Test Report (ASTM C423), ASTM E84 Class A Cert, NFPA 701 Cert, UL GREENGUARD Gold Cert, Installation Services Capability Statement. Manufactured in Richmond, Virginia since 2006. Installed by OrangePiel craftsmen for large client projects nationwide.
