Problems of the KR section and how they were solved
"Let's put it this way, we have all designers here, and you probably understand that the design is the section of the documentation that someone is constantly flying at. Architects are constantly changing the layouts. And the assignment for openings does not always end when the building is already built. Therefore, this process needs to be automated a little or somehow made simpler," Timur Karimov began by describing the problem.
To automate processes and "link" sections together, IND uses the dLab plugin, which allows you to abandon the creation of a consolidated model and switch to using special two-dimensional views: Task AR, Task MEP and Task KR. These views have filters that highlight the necessary elements and holes in a certain color, which significantly simplifies the work of engineers.
The plugin also helps solve the problem with the common parameters file (FOP). In a large organization, such as IND, engineers of each section and even the developer may have an individual FOP. For cooperation of all specialists, a simple and universal solution like the dLab plugin becomes necessary. It supports work with any FOP and templates and has an intuitive interface, which allows any engineer to quickly get started.
Automation of work with holes
dLab can also solve the problem of constantly changing hole assignments. Any changes are automatically updated using the "Update Holes" button based on the ID of the original elements.
The plugin also allows you to see all the changes that designers often make to their sections and do not always promptly notify their colleagues about it. Thanks to dLab, any changes in the architecture can be highlighted in red in the linked file. To do this, select the mirror of the desired link, create a temporary copy of it and compare the linked file with it.
