IMAGINiT Technologies Releases Three New IMAGINiT Utilities for Autodesk Revit Software

IMAGINiT Technologies has released three new IMAGINiT Utilities for Autodesk Revit software. IMAGINiT now offers a total of 17 unique Utilities for Revit.

 

Three New Utilities

 

Every IMAGINiT Utility for Revit has been specifically designed to save users time by automating repetitive manual tasks as well as minimizing the errors associated with data entry. All three of these new utilities work with any 2012 or 2013 version of Autodesk Revit Architecture, Autodesk Revit Structure or Autodesk Revit MEP. 

• The Revit Excel Link enables teams to seamlessly extract model data so they can work in Microsoft Excel by enabling bi-directional synchronization between Revit and Excel. Revit users can seamlessly export Revit project data to Excel as well as import data from Excel to a Revit project. Eliminating manual entry of data and sharing the workload with non-Revit users allows team members to increase productivity and focus on higher value tasks. 
• The Parameter Concatenator eliminates the manual labor associated with assembling multiple parameter values into a single text parameter or field. Using a custom expression to automate the procedure also ensures accuracy throughout the entire process. Now marking sheets with a company identifier such as a project number or location or stage is simple and fast. 
• The Dim Text Update overrides multiple dimensions using chosen text options. This utility makes adding prefix, suffix, above, below and other notations such as field verifications or tolerance dimensions quick and easy. Instead of updating fields on an individual basis with the same information, now Revit users can pick to easily update multiple targeted dimensions at once.

Mallot Creek Saves Time and Wins Clients with Revit Training

Existing CAD engineering staff at Mallot Creek Group were designing using Autodesk® AutoCAD®. After experiencing the benefits of Autodesk® Revit® MEP during an online course, Mallot Creek Group’s Brian Harvey, Project Technologist and Revit Coordinator saw the potential to increase design productivity by adopting BIM across their entire practice.

To get the entire company up to speed and running with the tools that enable BIM workflows, they contracted IMAGINiT Technologies to provide onsite, custom, project-based training.

Read the full story to see how Mallot Creek Group is doing now.

Collaboration Flourishes at C2AE

IMAGINiT Technologies helped C2AE move to BIM with a tailored approach the aided their internal and external coordination and collaboration. It also helped them complete their first BIM project and opened doors for new opportunities.

Announcing Scan to BIM 2012.1 with Floating Network License

We're pleased to announce updates for IMAGINiT's Scan to BIM product. The biggest enhancement is our support for floating network licensing, a big request and we're happy to provide this license type.

Other enhancements/updates include:

Supports Interference/Clearance Detection for Geometry vs. Point Cloud

This has been requested by a variety of customers, and is useful in a number of cases. Most commonly – if the purpose of the point cloud is just to establish the conditions in an existing area – and you don’t want to re-model, you just want to model without interfering with the existing area – then you can model and check interferences or clearances.

Enhanced Cylindrical Fitting Algorithms

The cylindrical fitting algorithms (for pipes, conduit and round duct) have been enhanced to provide results that are both better and faster.

Call for Presentations - BIM Spectrum

We're looking for a few good speakers—are you one of them? This is your call to become part of BIM Spectrum—a Virtual Event on August 17, 2011 devoted to covering models of every span, scope and size. Our first event in February had over 1,700 registrants and more than 1,200 attendees. We partnered with software providers to showcase how technology can help people get more from their building information models.

This time around we're looking for clients who have done something different with BIM and are willing to share. Are you a pioneer in BIM-land? We want to hear from you. We're looking for stories about how you went about creating a BIM process, what tools you're using and how it's working for you. We want to have presentations on everything to do with BIM—from the first site survey to facilities management and ownership.

Our Goal

Our goal is to deliver a peer-to-peer set of presentations for BIM Spectrum. Showcasing the best and brightest in the world of BIM—those who are pushing the boundaries, how they got there and what's next. In addition to these presentations, IMAGINiT experts will also showcase a variety of tools and techniques to assist users in reaching their own next level of performance.

Deadline to submit presentation outlines: June 10
