Importing Other Trades

What is the procedure envisaged by the designers of the package? For example, is the background info prepared by others?

In many cases it is but the program has many tools to greatly simplify conversion from 2-D drawings to realistic 3-D models.

Does it work with the architect drawing the base building?

Yes.

Does it work with the structural engineer adding the beams?

The program can import any AutoCAD based 2-D or 3-D designs including any AutoCAD add-on designs such as X-Steel etc. that interact with AutoSPRINK® as semi-intelligent Polly triangles. AutoSPRINK’s built-in conflict recognition and resolution tools will recognize all imported overlay drawing objects and react to them.

Does the package allow for us to create a 3D model of the buiding and structure if other designers engineers and architects are operating on coventional 2D drawings

Yes, and we are completing a new program call AutoPREP that will make this procedure nearly automatic. This drawing was produced from 2-D design drawings in less than one day.
