Pilot-BIM is designed for the automated assembly and examination of coordination models, which can be created in various BIM systems. It provides access to the current construction object model from the early design stages, facilitating easy information exchange among project participants. The software simplifies model verification, keeps a history of model changes, and allows for comparison of different versions of models, drawings, and documents. Users can create and manage comments, communicate on these comments and objects, and utilize the model throughout the construction and operation phases.
Key features include collaborative project work, allowing remote teams to discuss models, drawings, and documents, and maintain correspondence. It stores and manages versions of all project assets, logging changes and user actions for transparency. Pilot-BIM supports task and approval management, enabling the description of processes and stages, parallel or sequential approvals, and deadline control. An automatic consolidated model generation feature updates the central model efficiently as changes are made, aiding in early collision detection. Comments can be linked to specific objects, with responsibilities assigned for their resolution. Version comparison highlights differences in text and geometry, including 3D model elements. The system allows for the generation of various reports and supports project export for clients or regulatory bodies. Server-side processing of model generation, changes, and collision calculations ensures users receive processed data quickly. Parallel data processing technology optimizes performance for large objects like city quarters or industrial sites, while MeshProcessor optimizations enhance 3D model visualization and 2D document handling.
Pilot-BIM is a client-server application installed on-premises or in a company cloud, ensuring data control. It supports secure HTTPS connections and differentiates access rights for all information within the system. Collision detection is a core function, helping to ensure error-free designs and reduce construction costs.
Features & Benefits
- Collaboration on the project: Enables remote teams to connect, discuss models, drawings, and documents, and maintain correspondence.
- Store the entire history: Manages versions of documents, drawings, and models, logging task changes and user actions for process transparency.
- Tasks and approvals: Supports description of processes and stages, parallel/sequential approvals, task status control, and deadline management.
- Automatic generation of a consolidated model: Creates an up-to-date coordination model from various BIM systems, updating only changed parts for efficient collision detection.
- Comments on models and documents: Allows comments linked to objects, with correspondence, responsibility assignment, and status tracking.
- Version comparison: Automatically highlights differences in text and geometry when comparing documents, including 3D model elements.
- Reports: Generates reports on disciplines, comments, tasks, BIM models, etc., with a report designer for custom information retrieval.
- Export and import of projects: Facilitates electronic export of entire projects or parts for transfer to clients or regulatory authorities.
- Optimizations and technologies: Utilizes server-side processing for model generation and collision calculation, parallel data processing for large objects, and MeshProcessor for visualization and performance.
- Security: Client-server architecture ensures data control, with secure HTTPS connections and differentiated access rights.
- Collision detection: Identifies collisions at early project stages to ensure error-free designs and reduce construction costs.
