TriBuild Layout Design, a Layout Data Preparation Software for AutoCAD and Revit

TriBuild, Inc., a leading solution provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) for the construction industry, just launched TriBuild Layout Design, a layout data preparation software for most recognized Autodesk tools, AutoCAD and Revit.

Contractors recognize major locations to set out on a jobsite with formation of points at these locations on the building design which are then uploaded to a field controller for doing layout.

This data preparation plays an important role for field layout and successful completion of the project. Common locations for layout range from hangers, sleeves, equipment, centerlines, footers and walls. With formation of points at these locations, field layout crews can obtain proper instruction concerning what work should be accomplished in the job site.

Some exciting features like automated point creation tools in TriBuild Layout Design and ability to generate points directly in Autodesk design application, facilitate the contractors to make their overall workflow better for generating data for layout.

The contractors get the ability to work directly in their design application and consequently they don’t have to worry about issues caused by the compatibility of file formats.

TriBuild Layout Design is accessible for the contractors who utilize AutoCAD or Revit (versions 2016-2019) and export data to all the leading instrument manufacturers including Trimble, Hilti, Leica, Topcon and Sokkia.

A 30-day free trial version is available to download from the TriBuild website.

How to manage projects with BIM efficiently

Building information modeling (BIM) process gains huge popularity among the architecture and construction industry. Since, BIM is extensively used by several architectural and engineering firms into their practice, it becomes difficult for the project managers to control the project teams employing BIM.

Given below, some vital tips to manage project with BIM in an efficient manner.

Recognize the method

BIM stands for a collaborative method of generating coordinated, internally logical and quantifiable information concerning a building with a central system of 3d models in spite of a separate set of 2d drawings. It is a new way of working that simplifies the workflow with an unified approach.

Know the competencies of the tool

A Revit model is much more than a 3d model, it contains a database of information which can be used for constructability analysis, quantity take-offs, performance analysis, facilities management and so on. Working in a model based framework makes sure greater precision; as components change in the plan, they proceed in elevations and sections. When the windows are provided in the exterior wall, window schedules are updated. Prompt 3d visualization facilitates taking decisions in advance. As a minimum, find out how to open, close and navigate through a model, cut sections and print drawings.

Follow the 60/40 rule

BIM workflow generally comprises of two steps: modeling and documentation. Accept about 60% of the time for modeling, rest for generating and annotating drawings. Set up design and documentation benchmarks and decide on the level of detailing for different elements before starting modeling. Should the model be applied for construction documentation or fabrication and assembly? Prior to add a wall, ascertain its width, make and fire rating. Fix the rules at the beginning.

Have a clash detection competition

A Revit model can easily determine the spatial clashes among different systems in the building, like ducts moving through beams or lights hitting sprinklers. It facilitates saving time and cost because of less errors all through the construction. While Revit facilitates fundamental diagnostics, software like Navisworks can recognize and document conflicts comprehensively. Arrange every other coordination meeting to be virtual, discuss with the model.
