This free app - Acme Brick Vision - allows users to
view Acme's brick product line on both residential
and commercial building elevations, or as a brick
sample in a close up view. Acme Brick Vision allows
the user to pick an elevation, put their choice of brick
on the building, and change variables such as mortar
color, trim paint color, and roof color. With Acme Brick
Vision it is possible to create over one million unique
combinations of brick, mortar, roof and trim colors.
Acme Brick Vision has been updated with several
new features that make it more useful than ever:
• The photo gallery section shows enlarged views of
brick panels and rendering, and adds any location
photographs taken in the field of a specific product.
• The all new favorites section allows the user to save
sets of brick. These can then be shared with other
users from within the app and includes a help section.
• There are new elevations for rendering brick, and
the mortar colors are updated to reflect the most
current selections.
• A new brochures section offers PDF brochures for
Acme publications.
All the traditional features in the original version of
Acme Brick Vision are in place. The Material Close Up
option shows a brick wall section with different mortar
colors. Both views can be enlarged to a full-screen
view tailored to the viewer’s iPad model, and can be
saved to the user’s camera roll. Brick selections can
be searched by name, size, brick plant, or by color
families. For each product listing, viewers can scroll
to a detail page that provides a full set of technical
specifications for that brick product.
Now more than ever, Acme Brick Vision enables
consumers, architects and other building professionals
to view and compare brick and mortar color selections
and view them on site or wherever they have access to
the Internet. This ability to view and compare selections
indoors or out, at a moments notice will make the
brick and mortar selection process more efficient and
accurate.
