LetsBuild BIM prototype + Aproplan-Revit Plugin

Project
16026 BIMy
Description
  • Access to BIM models for on-site teams
  • Allows the creation of issues and inspection tasks on top of a BIM model that can later be carried out by teams on site
  • Information provided by site teams can be visualised directly over a BIM model
  • Site data can be directly consumed in Revit via the Aproplan-Revit plugin or can be exported as part of the IFC file

Technical features

Input(s):

  • BIM Model in IFC format
  • Revit model using Aproplan-Revit plugin

Main feature(s):

  • Revit Plugin allows to send 2D plans directly towards LetsBuild Aproplan
  • Plans received from Revit have object recognition, facilitating BIM object detection on issues/inspection creation workflows
  • Support for multiple models in a project
  • 3D viewer for BIM models (ifc format only)
  • BIM Objects table with possibility to query based on object data and LetsBuild Aroplan statuses
  • Access to BIM object metadata
  • Interaction with BIM model objects
  • Creation and visualisation of issues and inspection tasks linked to BIM objects
  • Tasks created in the 3D viewer are transferred to LetsBuild Aproplan mobile including BIM object info and a model snapshot
  • Actions taken with tasks in LetsBuild mobile (offline mode included) are reflected in the BIM objects through the 3D viewer
  • Information collected from the site can be exported along with IFC model or sent back to Revit using the Aproplan Revit plugin

Output(s):

  • Integration of BIM model with LetsBuild Aproplan base platform
  • LetsBuild Aproplan issues and inspection tasks
  • IFC models with LetsBuild Aproplan site data
  • LetsBuild Aproplan site data in native Revit models
Integration constraints
  • User needs to have LetsBuild Aproplan credentials
  • Accepted formats are limited to .ifc 2x3 (upload) and .rvt (direct transfer) through the Aproplan-Revit plugin
  • Data is managed and stored in the LetsBuild Aproplan infrastructure
  • Aproplan-Revit plugin is optimised for Revit 2019 and 2020
