IMAGINiT Technologies introduced IMAGINiT Clarity for Revit 2019

IMAGINiT Technologies launched 2019 IMAGINiT Clarity Family of Products which provide a new scope for the Revit users to avail and control the model data of Revit efficiently.

There is a new dashboard and incorporation with Autodesk Dynamo facilitates the BIM professionals to obtain over 55 metrics across several projects allowing collaboration among project partners.

The followings are some new and advanced features of the product :-

MAGINiT Clarity now supports Revit 2019 and earlier versions of Autodesk Revit, as well as BIM 360 software.

A New High-Level Dashboard facilitates the BIM coordinators to observe significant data on one screen to recognize and deal with the issues instantly. On the dashboard, user-defined ranges make out issues in red and yellow facilitating BIM Coordinators to easily check trends across several models and projects and tackle any variations.

Clarity/Dynamo Integration applies bespoke Dynamo nodes to obtain model metrics that are not presently in IMAGINiT’s list of 55 metrics and pulls them into the Clarity 2019 dashboard. With bespoke Dynamo scripting, the users will be able to directly access the metrics on the opening page of the Revit model.

Integration with BIM 360 allows flexibility to project partners by providing every team a specified area to preserve their updates to the model. Teams can then take decision whether they prefer to pull in work from other project partners or distribute their work with them on the basis of important milestones.

Additional Task Management improvements like the capacity to print a hard copy and new integration with SharePoint simplify the Clarity environment and make the application simple for BIM team members.

Some CAD tips and tricks to create your own custom hatch

Edwin Prakoso presents an exclusive article for cad professionals. The article focuses on how one can create their own custom hatch.

Inside AutoCAD, there are default hatch patterns. But the users always require custom hatch for smooth workflow. One can download custom hatch pattern from various resources. But one can also make personalized custom hatch.

One can take help from AutoLISP program to generate simple hatch effortlessly. You can check this tutorial.

Hatch Maker: One can access this free AutoLISP program from Cadalyst. One can follow the simple process to produce a pattern graphically. After uploading the LISP program, the following two new commands will be visible.

Drawhatch: The users can apply this command to produce 1×1 rectangle at coordinate 0,0. Just sketch following your choice of pattern. Only lines and points can be used. The users should have to sketch new entity rather than copying object to this location and transferring it.

Savehatch: Once the making of the objects is completed, this command can be run. After you finish creating the objects, you can run this command. Choose objects inside the rectangle then save the pattern file.

But in case of a very complicated pattern, the process may not be effective. The users have to recreate it after modifying it.

Obtain pattern from an AutoCAD drawing: Suppose you obtain a drawing having custom hatch pattern inside it and you want to apply the hatch pattern, but there is no pat file. Then what will be the process for producing the pattern?

You can just capture the hatch definition and save the pattern to your local drive. There is one firm like Tee Square Graphics who can write a LISP program for creating the .pat file.

One can avail the GETPAT LISP code here. It’s a raw code and prior to apply it, just save it to lisp file.

Saving and using AutoLISP program: If you are not aware about how to save and load LISP program,read how you can do it here.

Significance of 4D and 5D BIM for any construction project

Building Information Modeling gives birth to a wide array of services like building design, 3D modeling, clash detection, 4D scheduling, cost estimation, etc. which are very useful for Engineers, Contractors and other professionals. BIM technology can be employed for generating efficient 3D coordination models which facilitate apparent 360 degree 3D view of the designed buildings along with the entire angle. Evaluate these models and obtain thorough information regarding the building models as well as find out significant clashes inside the designs or models. BIM 4D and 5D analysis is useful for creating authentic schedule concerning all construction works together with complete charts associated with the cost estimation of the project in general.

4D building information modeling is performed to simulate the schedules of several construction activities and space requisites. 4D BIM facilitates the users to obtain persuasive 3D visualization to be utilized by project team members, Owner, Contractors, etc. to get the view of the complete project and construction plans in a professional manner.

4D models are applied in building restoration project, for creating schedule of the phased occupancy. These building models are maneuvered for construction site utilization planning. 4D BIM models can help in figuring out the locations of enduring facilities and temporary facilities on construction site.

4D building models offer time-based clash detection facilities through which BIM modelers get a brief view of the coordination models and verify whether the building materials, construction members and other equipments are positioned perfectly inside the assigned space or not. BIM modelers will also be able to incorporate the construction scheduling models with the real project models and efficiently evaluate the effect of temporary items like cranes, formwork, etc. So time-based clash detection can be performed easily.

4D building information models facilitate creating links amid the construction components of the building model and the consequent task planning. The users can have an idea at what time and on which date the components should be made available for setting up on site. The users can also include parameters to the components of the building model for tracking the ordered materials and delivery status.

In 5D BIM, the 5th dimension alias information associated with cost estimation is integrated in a project model. Inside the models, the total cost estimation allied information is integrated in a manner that while making any alteration in the design or model, the budget will also be adjusted immediately in proportion to the model.

5D BIM can provide extensive information like kind of materials for example rebar, concrete, formwork, material take-offs, material quantities, and other resource details like the details of equipment, labor etc. 5D BIM analysis can bring you’re the following benefits:-

• Create databases regarding take off quantities, material costs, natures of materials to be utilized at the time of construction, crew composition, number of labors and their wages detail, sub KPIs, etc.
• Focus on complete information of project risks.
• Make budget estimation perfectly.
• Try out any project model for various cost estimation data.
• Perform brief cost estimation analysis of each module of a construction project.

Debut of i-model plug-in for Revit

With the i-model plug-in for Revit the users will be able to save their Revit models in such a manner so that they can open the models in Bentley MicroStation, Bentley Navigator, and several other Bentley building products, keeping the Revit properties information intact within the Revit model.

The plug-in mostly useful for the project teams who are accustomed to work with a diverse Bentley/Revit surroundings and reference Revit models inside a MicroStation-supported design system used for coordination purposes, conflict recognition as well as the same types of activities.

How it performs:

By applying this plugin the project team members can save their Revit models to an i-model file inside the Revit application. The users have to perform this for one time and they don’t need MicroStation or any other Bentley application except the i-model plug-in for Revit.

The i-model is compatible with Bentley Navigator and can be applied for redlining, conflict detection, and further federated information workflows. The plug-in is well matched with the 2008-2012 versions of the Revit products along with Architecture, MEP, and Structure, and provides support for the 64-bit versions.

The i-model plug-in for Revit lets users save their Revit models to an i-model file from within the Revit application.
