Most digital modeling endeavors feature a library of predefined objects, sometimes called “blocks” or “components”. These blocks can be used repeatedly once they are defined. Their quality depends on the care the definer took when building the object in the first place. The definition time and file size associated with each object are limiting factors in their usability and production.

“Vail™” is an acronym for the Vinci Ancillary Imagery Library™, a digital toolbox entirely produced by Vinci LLC. Vinci’s Vail™ is a construction-specific toolbox with just enough articulation to produce illustrations that effectively communicate your construction message to your audience. Vail™ objects are built to industry-standard scale resulting from Vinci’s research. The research taps industry standard sources as well as actual worksite observation. Vail™ objects are intended to be “words” in our graphic construction story. The more faithful these digital objects are to their real-world antecedents, the clearer our message. Vail™ objects can eliminate paragraphs of explanation. Why explain what a lattice boom crawler crane is when you can show it to your audience? Chances are most folks involved in facility planning have seen what you’re talking about. This frees you up to talk about how your company is best-suited for the job.
