「During the cumulative first quarter, maintenance services in the Housing and BIM businesses and the steady number of customers with ongoing transactions for the 3D catalog website in the Building Materials Business contributed to growth in the recurring-revenue business.」

「In the building-materials business, whose main product is the 3D catalog website, performance has remained firm, partly because the number of customers with ongoing transactions increased.」

「In the building-materials business, whose main product is the 3D catalog website, performance has also remained firm, partly because the number of customers with ongoing transactions increased.」

「In the building-materials business, whose main product is the 3D catalog website, performance has also remained firm, partly because the number of customers with ongoing transactions increased.」

「In non-CAD fields, including the 3D catalog website and point-cloud processing systems, the company will improve profitability by expanding the functions of its core businesses and generating further synergies with them.」

「In the building-materials business, whose main product is the 3D catalog website, and the BIM business, whose main products are architectural design CAD systems other than those for wooden homes, increases in the number of customers with ongoing transactions and changes to the sales structure proved effective, resulting in year-on-year revenue growth.」

「In the building-materials business, whose main product is the 3D catalog website, and the BIM business, whose main products are architectural design CAD systems other than those for wooden homes, increases in the number of customers with ongoing transactions and changes to the sales structure proved effective, resulting in year-on-year revenue growth.」

「Meanwhile, the Building Materials Business Division, whose main product is the 3D catalog website, and the BIM Business Division, whose main products are architectural design CAD systems other than those for wooden homes, posted year-on-year revenue growth as increases in the number of customers with ongoing transactions and changes to the sales structure proved effective.」

「In the building-materials business, contract-related sales declined slightly, but the 3D catalog website, its core product, remained firm as the number of customers with ongoing transactions increased.」

「In the building-materials business, whose main product is the 3D catalog website, and the BIM business, whose main products are architectural design CAD systems other than those for wooden homes, sales increased year on year as increases in the number of customers with ongoing transactions and changes to the sales structure proved effective.」

「The company released ARCHITREND Renovation Palette, which creates a simulated 3D space from photographs taken with smartphones or digital cameras and uses actual 3D data for exterior and interior building materials available on 3D Catalog.com to quickly and realistically simulate and present images of completed renovations.」

「The ZEH policy jointly pursued by the three ministries, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of the Environment, supported the adoption of ARCHITREND ZERO Exterior Performance Calculation and ARCHITREND ZERO Energy-Saving Navigator by builders with a strong awareness of energy efficiency, and sales of these products remained firm. There were also factors supporting sales growth, including an increase in the number of installations of 3D Catalog.com's building-materials and equipment and housing simulation website on ARCHITREND ZERO Ver.5, enabling the use of actual building materials from individual manufacturers, and continued maintenance contracts from new customers that had adopted the company's products using the IT Introduction Subsidy in the previous fiscal year. However, partly because of the impact of the external environment, these factors were not sufficient to increase sales year on year.」

「For 3D Catalog.com, the 3D simulation website for building materials, equipment and homes, the company began offering the Energy-Saving Performance Assessment service in April 2017. The service complies with the energy-efficiency standards that were to become mandatory in 2020. In July 2017, it also launched a smartphone- and tablet-compatible version that enables more people, including general consumers and homeowners, to easily explore homes in 3D.」

「In the architectural business, user registrations for 3D Catalog.com, a 3D simulation website for building materials, equipment and homes, have continued to grow strongly, expanding customer touchpoints that will contribute to future sales in the architectural CAD business.」

「In April 2016, the company launched the 3D Catalog.com service for construction professionals, general consumers, and building-materials and equipment manufacturers. The service enables users to simulate renovation and new-construction plans in a web browser using 3D data for building materials and housing equipment from leading domestic manufacturers. In July 2016, the service began offering integration with CAD, and in October 2016 it began providing Roomo3D, a dedicated housing presentation software application for 3D Catalog.com.」

「In July 2016, the company launched ARCHITREND ZERO Ver.3, a 3D architectural CAD system that can be integrated with 3D Catalog.com, a 3D simulation website for building materials, equipment and homes. It also launched ARCHITREND VR, a new product compatible with the much-discussed virtual reality technology, at the same time.」

「On 18 April, the company also launched 3D Catalog.com, a 3D simulation website for building materials, equipment and homes. It has been highly rated as a service that proposes a new way for housing suppliers and homeowners alike to select building materials and design homes. The service also generated many new purchases and upgrades from target users who registered, supporting sales.」

「The company also advanced the development of a catalog website that displays, as 3D data, the building materials and housing equipment needed for new construction and renovations, in order to further promote the adoption of 3D technology in the architectural industry.」
