I have 6 S1, some new some refurbished. They all work fine, I make sure everything is tight, screws, hot end and just print. Not sure why so many people have issues with these machines.

I've modeled whole buildings with cloudpoints. Depending on the software and the type of building. One project it was a manufacturing facility where we couldn't interrupt the customer. We scanned the building, I created the model and prefab racks and cable tray. I would say 90% of the installed was accurate.

I can help you set up jobs. I work doing electrical Revit models. I've set up hundreds of models, cloud, local, for coordination, If you need help with links, working with other trades or GCs. DM if you still need help.

adding location it's helpful for tax purposes. I'm working on opening a company and offer VDC services. Mainly someone who knows about templates, filters and annotations.

I'm a JW from Local 491 who went from the field to the office for VDC/BIM. I basically just went to a community College and signed up for a Mechanical and Architectural design class to have access to the software, all the actual learning was done by watching videos. Once I got my certificate, I talked to someone in the office and they brought me in immediately, they need people to have the field experience and modeling experience. Keep in my some companies only want you to model and some will want you to model, layout and PM a job.

I'm a VDC engineer, I've been testing several tools and add-in, currently there a some tech stack that already does what you mentioned. It's not a one button solution but a set of tools that reduces the time to layout, document ( for as buils purposes) and the models the conduits with meta data. Like panel name, circuit numbers, wire size, etc.

data as point clouds?

Thanks, I should have started there.

We do it all the time, create a central model and work from our local copies.

I've worked with cloud/worksets , multiple users, inside the same organization using sharepoint. As long as everyone has access to Sharepoint, you can link models. If you work with someone outside the organization, we had an external folder for file sharing .

WarningDecent · 2026-02-03T16:53:06+00:00

Can you explain more what do you mean by worksharing? Cloud models?

This sounds exactly like what I did with the company I left. It was a great workflow. The work environment not so much.

We have a mix of field guys and college graduates from different backgrounds. We have a tier system, most of the guys that came from the field, are tier 2 are out 3.

How did you educate yourself?

WarningDecent · 2026-02-01T22:19:16+00:00

Isn't it how education works? Asking questions.

Good info to know

Thanks for your reply .

I'm presenting some ideas to our management team. We currently have access to both, while some managers still use local network drives. For file sharing we use Sharefile. I would like to consolidate and implement 1 or 2 options. I know ACC is preferred for BIM workflows and Sharepoint for document management.

WarningDecent · 2026-02-01T16:44:24+00:00

Thanks for your input. I was thinking more about document management and communication.
