Look it up by the word you actually use

If you know a feature by its name on the drawings and cannot find it in the menu, it is almost certainly here under a different word. ConstructiVision names things its own way, and one product term often covers several industry terms.

Nothing in this page is a missing feature. Every row is something the product can already do — the entry tells you what it is called and which lesson shows it.

Thickenings — the Lintel family

Four industry words, one dialog. Pilaster — Lintel Details covers all of them.

you say	ConstructiVision calls it	lesson
Corbel	Lintel	105 · 205
Brick ledge, brick shelf	Lintel	105 · 205
Haunch	a Pilaster or Lintel extended from a panel edge	105 · 205
Lintel	Lintel	105 · 205

The manual is explicit about the first one — “A Lintel (Corbel) is a thickening” — and about the third: “Pilasters or Lintels may also be extended from either edge of the Panel to produce supporting haunches for roof.” There is no separate corbel or brick-ledge tool because there does not need to be.

Blockouts and recesses — one dialog, many names

Recess/Blockout Details carries a Shape list (Rectangle, Circle, Arch, Triangle) and a Z Offset. Between those two controls it covers everything below.

you say	how it is expressed	lesson
Beam pocket	a Recess with Z Offset 0	103 · 203
Sandwich-panel insulation, wythe	a Recess with Z Offset nonzero	103 · 203
Round opening	Shape = Circle	103 · 214
Pipe or conduit penetration, MEP sleeve	Shape = Circle, cut through	103 · 203
Non-rectangular blockout	Shape = Arch or Triangle	103 · 214
Form liner, texture or pattern	the Liner Aggr setting	103 · 203
Exposed aggregate finish	the Liner Aggr setting	103 · 203

Openings and doors

you say	ConstructiVision calls it	lesson
Window	Standard Opening	108 · 211
Drip groove, drip edge	the Drip flag on a Standard Opening	108
Future opening, knock-out panel	the Future flag on a Standard Opening	108
Overhead door, sectional door	a Man Door row with type overhead	212

Drip and Future share one control — Drip/Future — so look for the pair, not two separate boxes.

Embeds and hardware

you say	ConstructiVision calls it	lesson
Embedded angle	a Weld Connection with type angle	109 · 209
Anchor bolt, cast-in bolt	not placed on its own — drawn from the Ledger / Top Plate row, spaced by its Max Bolt and Quan fields	106 · 206

The anchor-bolt row is worth reading twice. If you are hunting for a bolt tool, there isn’t one: set the ledger and the bolts follow from it.

Edges and panel properties

you say	ConstructiVision calls it	lesson
Mitered corner, corner cut	Edge Miter (Left / Right) on Main Panel Details	110
Panel joint, expansion joint, caulk joint	Expansion Gap (Left / Right) on Main Panel Details	111
Parapet, top edge shape	Top Profile	215
Panel finish, smooth or textured	the Finish field on Panel Attributes	220
Reveal, rustication	Feature Strip	lesson pending — see below

Panel Attributes also carries Color and Sealer beside Finish, which are separate concerns often lumped under “finish” on a drawing.

Feature Strip is the product’s word for a reveal, and it has its own dialog — both a horizontal and a vertical one. Its lesson is not written yet, so the row above points here rather than to a page that does not exist. The name is the useful half: search the menu for Feature Strip, not for reveal or rustication.

Where the two products genuinely differ

Everything above works in both products. These do not, and saying so is the point of the section — you should not spend twenty minutes hunting for something that is not there.

feature	cv-web	ConstructiVision for AutoCAD
Top steps	works — 216	not implemented; listed as a future release
Footing shapes	works — 217	not implemented; listed as a future release
Spandrel seat	—	dialog exists but cannot currently be opened

Note

Why a spandrel seat is not simply missing. The manual notes that a Standard Opening or a Recess can carry a spandrel seat, so the shape is reachable — what does not currently open is the dedicated dialog. Tracked as CV-2036, with CV-2037 covering the two rows above.

Terms this page cannot yet place

These appear on drawings and have no confirmed home in either product. They are listed rather than omitted, because a customer searching for one deserves a straight answer instead of silence:

louver / vent opening · reglet (flashing) · brick-tie or dovetail anchor slot · weep hole · control joint / score line · corner return · bearing pad · pilaster cap · coil insert · slotted insert · bent bar · chord connector · welded-wire reinforcement · bond breaker · epoxy dowel · panel dowel · strongback insert · construction seat · pour / closure strip · arched opening

Warning

Do not read that list as “the product cannot do these.” Every one of them has been searched by name across the dialogs, the shipped type enums and the manual, and a name search failing is not evidence a feature is absent — corbel was nearly listed here before it turned out to be Lintel, and parapet before it turned out to be Top Profile. Both were found by asking what the product calls the thing, not by grepping for the industry word.

So this list is the honest state of an unfinished search, and the next pass on it starts from vocabulary rather than from repeating the same greps.
