Structural Shop Drawings for Large Scaled Projects use Multi-user Mode

Delivering a large scaled project in smaller time frames can become impossible to achieve without the multi-user modes that the software applications provide today. Tekla is one among them that fulfil this aspect for the structural shop drawing services.

Structural Shop Drawings for Large Scaled Projects


Large scaled projects require substantial resources. With the increasing complexities in design and the number of stories, the amount of planning and accuracy in detailing that would go is of vast proportions. To add to this are the stringent time-lines. Huge projects need to be delivered at unbelievable time scales. All of this has been achievable through the ever advancing technology.

Tekla is the go to software for structural detailing projects, irrespective of the scale of the project. To deliver structural shop drawing services for one of such mammoth sized projects in meagre time line is possible to fulfil with skilled and trained engineers, detailers and drafters that simultaneously work on the project. This has been doable due to the multi-user mode that the software application facilitates. It is an extremely valuable feature in situations like these.

This mode allows a number of people to add to the model at the same time. They can be located anywhere as long as they have access to the server that holds the master model. We are only dealing with this one model here. Each participant is contributing to this model saved on the server. As the user accesses this model on the server, a copy of it is saved on his system. As he works on his designated portion, it is saved on his copy. As he selects to save to the master model, his work is transferred to the master model for everyone to see.

It is essential to establish a well defined system in place for all users to comply with. This will enable smooth operation with this mode. All participants should have portions designated to them that they are to develop. This will avoid errors or rework with two users working on the same part at the same time. Also, as the mode only allows the work of only one user to be saved at a time, a proper numbering plan should be devised.

As we are dealing with only one model, the troubles of handling multiple models are completely eliminated. There is no requirement of tracking and allotting storage space to manage several models. Also, better coordination and synchronisation of work is achieved between all the project members. Confusions and conflicts rising on account of duplicate models are removed.

It is a boon for Structural shop drawing services. We have better channelisation of resources and time. Dispatch of sizeable projects in the stipulated time frame can be successfully completed.

MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as in...

List of Software that simplified execution of pre-construction engineering services

Autodesk which is an American multinational firm has designed maximum numbers of software that are used in construction today. There is no doubt that execution of pre-construction engineering services  have greatly reduced on-site burden of architects and engineers. All of this became possible only after Autodesk came up with crucial software that helped technicians and modelers to generate drawings and develop models of buildings that are supposed to be constructed in future. Description of vital software is given below. AutoCAD: AutoCAD helps CAD technicians or CAD drafters to create stunning designs in a very short period of time. AutoCAD’s ribbon galleries assist technicians with an intuitive, visual and fast workflow. For example, if in case a user wants to add a block while developing designs they can make use of ribbon gallery and successfully insert a block. It has all the significant tools that are needed by designers to improve design process. Revit: Revit is ...

A brief account on BIM’s expansion over the years

Building Information Modeling has a dramatic history when it comes to its expansion in the landscapes of AEC industry over the years. BIM which is also known as Virtual Design and Construction has a dominant presence in AEC industry because of the fact that is has the potential to realize project outcomes and can control them significantly as per requirement. In short design and construction professionals can attain superior control over project outcomes by analyzing multidiscipline models. Well, Building Information Modeling evolved as a concept some four decades ago but it was not practiced by AEC professionals in the industry at that time. For approximately ten years since it first appeared in the journal, the term ‘BIM’ used to be seen only in research papers. BIM as a technology and a process started to be implemented in construction projects some thirty years ago. So once AEC professionals started using BIM in construction they never looked back to their sluggish performanc...
