Laser Scan – Revolutionizing Construction Quality & Safety Management

Image
The process of laser scanning has taken the construction industry by storm. In recent years, industry professionals have taken to laser scanning big time for two reasons primarily – v Low costs v Accuracy Apart, from these two, laser scanning offers other powerful benefits such as – v Reduced installation time v Improved construction quality v Enhanced site safety How is laser scanning revolutionizing construction quality? In construction, there are many components that are prefabricated. Laser scanning can help in inspecting these components to check if their dimensions and orientations are accurate before they are assembled and installed. This is done when the project is in progress so that the concerned person can rectify the error at the earliest before the issue turns into a more significant one. Moreover, once a large component is built in the fabrication yard, like this steel frame, it is virtually placed at its intended position on the site through la...

Top 8 Best Practices to Use While Creating Revit Families

Image
Building a great template in Revit is challenging. Where do we even start? With years of refinement, we have finally found the best features to use. Autodesk Revit is an outstanding BIM tool for designers, architects, engineers, and contractors. The full potential of modeling in Revit can be understood through a thorough idea of its various functions. Here are some guaranteed tips to help you make the most of Revit families and advance the modeling process. Go for Minimalism:   It is recommended to have the specific levels for elevations and plan descriptions and have particular display choices accessible on visibility settings. Use the symbolic lines and also masking regions in place of geometry. Do Not Over Model: While building assemblies, make sure you have limited the creation of assemblies and parts to avoid overloading the model with all kinds of unnecessary details. Make sure you only consider the critical assemblies.   Check Usage of Nested, Detailed, and P...
