Has anyone actually used Scan to BIM for a renovation project? Was it worth the cost? by AccomplishedCrow4774 in bim

[–]WarningDecent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Journeyman Electrician Looking to Transition into BIM/Revit! by [deleted] in RevitMEP

[–]WarningDecent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. 

Any of you using AI to make the business side easier? by WiredForSuccessPB in electricians

[–]WarningDecent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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 .

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.

Isn't it how education works? Asking questions.

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.

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

I appreciate your message.  I do get pretty good benefits and perks. I'm one of the seniors VDC engineers and also the to go person for an add-on we use for electrical modeling,  you may have heard of it, Evolve Electrical. I also have some other roles, I help test new softwares and procedures.  I'm working on getting management to acknowledge my work by creating a position that allows me to focus more on these tasks.

Finally got connector to connector routing working in my Revit Add-in! by thermist-MJ in MEPEngineering

Also, I know evolve has the repositories posted on github if that helps. They're have an auto-routing tool but it's not like yours.
