Moving From Sketches & Redline Markup to BIM

Moving from hand-drawn plans, sketches, and even computerized redline markup to BIM requires engineers to interface with complex models rather than just do sketches and accompanying calculations. It’s a quantum leap for many, requiring increased resources to be able to enact new approaches. But it brings multiple disciplines together and forces people to collaborate a lot earlier in the lifecycle of projects. Ultimately, this will lead to shared responsibility.
But there is still a place for less complex CAD, and it is common for engineering companies like NY Engineers to use both programs (CAD and Revit) because they can be used together. So we are able to incorporate designs that we have created in AutoCAD and use these in Revit projects, and vice versa.
Autodesk tools for both AutoCAD and Revit increase our ability to find specialized solutions too. For instance, we now use access-integrated BIM and CAD technologies for civil infrastructure and building design, construction, and engineering. This enables us to integrate workflows for infrastructure and building projects and to maintain consistent design models throughout our projects using integrated tools. We can also use visual logic to automate tasks and design all-important workflows. Then, as time moves on and the project progresses, we can verify and speed review workflows.
We can plan and design with real-world data and powerful 3D models which provide us with incredibly realistic images. We are able to connect preliminary as well as conceptual design to detailed engineering and fabrication processes.
So, whether you are simply looking for customized architectural drafting services like redline or hand markup into CAD or you need an experienced company that offers a wide range of BIM services including drawings, energy analysis, or detection and resolution of clashes, you’ve come to the right place.
