As an As-Built modelling company with a strong software background in BIM, we have been developing a suite of tools to increase our accuracy and productivity whilst we are creating our models.

Using these tools we have found that we can create our Revit models upto 100% faster whilst minimising humen error input on the naming conventions etc.

These tools are specifically designed to be use along side a point cloud, it allows the fast creation of walls, doors, windows, stairs, columns etc. when dealing with an as-built enviroment when all these items are not uniform.

• As-Built walls tool for fast sketching of walls that are not uniform width.
• Set wall width via 1 click against the point cloud data.
• Set wall make up to the selected make up with 1 click without changing the size.
• Create doors and windows from plan via 2 clicks to describle the width.
• Insert windows above doors, inheriting the doors width.
• Update the width of a door/window with 2 clicks.
• Set the height of a door/window with a single click.
• View doors and windows as a cross section for easy level and height alignment.
• Create a straight architectural column in 2 clicks.
• Create a angled architectural column in 3 clicks.
• Set the height of stairs in 2 clicks.
• Set the stair step depth in 2 clicks.
• Swap door/window types whilst keeping the same dimensions.
• Draw a quick section box for the 3d view in 2 clicks in plan view.
• Select all the internal walls of a current level.
• Select all the columns for a selected level.
• Copy instance parameters between doors/windows.
• New types are created automatically when needed reducing the high amount of time it takes to duplicate and name new types, especially when the dimension are not yet known.
