Nexus Shade · Pergolas and awnings in 3D
From the 3D pergola to the quote. And on to the workshop.
Nexus Shade is the solar shading editor built into Endades Nexus: you design pergolas and awnings in 3D with your manufacturer's catalogue, the bill of materials and the price are recalculated as you draw, and the pergola goes into the quote as just another line, with its cuts and machining ready for production.
Available now as an optional module of Endades Nexus Pro and Infinity. 21-step guided demo over real screenshots.
One single flow, inside the quote
Every pergola or awning starts as a line in the sales document and reaches the workshop without re-keying anything. This is what the demo walks through.
Within the limits
The editor applies the manufacturer's maximums, fits the projection to the louvre pitch and warns you before something can't be manufactured.
Live bill of materials and price
Every change recalculates materials, cuts, machining and the total, using the document's price list.
To the quote and the workshop
The line goes into the quote already priced and, when you send it to production, you get one frame per module with its bars sent to the optimiser.

What you can design
For pergola and awning manufacturers and installers, and for window fabricators who want to sell them in the same quote as their windows.
Louvred, fabric or solid roof
Bioclimatic with adjustable louvres, fabric, solid-roof, mixed or open. Wall-mounted or freestanding, with one module or several coupled together.
Standalone or on the pergola
Folding-arm, drop-arm, vertical and sliding, each with its own brackets, drive and fabric.
Whatever shape the job calls for
Flat or sloped, mono-pitch, gable, hipped or arched. The covering is divided into sections.
Every bay, made to measure
Windows and sliding doors from the Nexus window configurator, vertical louvres, screens or fixed panels.
Lighting, sensors and controls
LED lighting, sensors and controls housed in their beam, post or louvre, plus packs with their own price per module or per document.
Start with it already built
Porch, carport, louvred screen, canopy, gazebo, covered walkway or terrace enclosure. Only the ones the system can actually build are offered.
With your manufacturer's catalogue
Nothing is hard-coded into the software: each system is set up once and, from then on, the editor designs, builds the bill of materials and prices with that system's own rules.
The manufacturer's bill-of-materials rules
Articles by role (post, beam, louvre, gutter, fabric, motor…), rules with conditions and formulas, and machining per part. What you see in 3D is drawn with the lengths and cuts from the bill of materials.
Limits that protect the order
Maximum width and projection, overhangs, supports and louvre pitches. The editor allows any combination that can be manufactured and blocks only what won't hold up.
Pricing your way
From the bill of materials with the document's price list, from a width × projection table imported from Excel with its surcharges, or a mix of both. When the price list changes, the line is repriced like any other.
Production without re-keying
One frame per pergola module and per awning, bars sent to the cutting optimiser and the machining set in the design, on the work order and on the cutting sheets.
Real screenshots of the editor
No mock-ups: this is Nexus Shade quoting a double bioclimatic pergola.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nexus Shade?
It is the solar shading editor in Endades Nexus: pergolas and awnings in 3D with the manufacturer's catalogue, with the bill of materials, machining and price calculated live, inside the same quote as the windows.
Is it available now?
Yes. Nexus Shade is an optional module of Endades Nexus, in the Pro and Infinity editions. It is not sold separately from Nexus. See the editions.
Which catalogues does it work with?
With your manufacturer's. Each system is set up once: articles, bill-of-materials rules, machining, limits and price lists. Nothing is hard-coded into the software.
Can I close in the pergola with my own windows?
Yes. Each bay can take a window or a sliding door from the Nexus window configurator, vertical louvres, a screen or a fixed panel.
How is the price calculated?
From the bill of materials with the document's price list, from a width × projection price table with its surcharges, or a mix of both. Accessory packs carry their own price.
What reaches the workshop?
One production frame per pergola module and per awning, the bars sent to the cutting optimiser and the machining set in the design, on the work order and on the cutting sheets.
Can I ask the AI to draw the pergola?
Yes, with Nexus AI (Infinity edition): describe the pergola or awning, or start from a template or a photo, and the assistant prepares the draft. You always confirm the dimensions yourself.
Can I show it to the customer?
Yes. With “Animate”, the louvres turn, the fabric retracts and the screen comes down in the 3D view, and the quote line carries the image of the pergola.
