Johnson Controls, renowned for its advancements in smart, sustainable building solutions, has launched its latest innovation: the SprinkCAD for Revit® Fabrication Tool.
This tool enhances capabilities by allowing users to deliver a fabrication-ready design and a comprehensive stock list.
Enhanced Fabrication Capabilities
The new fabrication tool is tailored for fire protection professionals, enabling a seamless transition from Revit® design to SprinkCAD's fabrication environment.
It allows designers to map various components like valves, sprinklers, pipes, and pumps within their parts database, generating a complete material list and fabrication report that can be saved, printed, or exported to standard file formats.
Streamlined BIM Project Workflow
The new fabrication tool is tailored for fire protection experts, enabling a seamless transition from Revit®
Zach Magnone, Associate Director of Engineering & Innovation at Johnson Controls, highlighted the tool's efficiency, stating, “BIM projects just got easier to quote, design, stock list, and fabricate.”
He further added, “The new SprinkCAD fabrication tool was designed for speed and accuracy. With this full suite of tools, designers can now use SprinkCAD for Revit® to produce a fully-designed and calculated system in less time and with greater efficiency.”
Functionality for SprinkCAD Users
The newly launched SprinkCAD for Revit® Fabrication Tool offers users several functionalities:
- Creation of a fabrication-ready design and stock list.
- Automatic generation and insertion of required Revit® families into design models.
- Elimination of the need to transition designs into complex fabrication parts environments.
- Mapping of Revit® sprinkler system designs to preferred pipes, sprinklers, valves, and other components to generate material summaries and fabrication reports.
- Production of a material summary for piping systems directly from SprinkCAD for Revit®.
- Creation of fabrication reports and management of stock-listing through SprinkSLIC from SprinkCAD.
This update positions the SprinkCAD for Revit® Fabrication Tool as a vital asset for professionals seeking to optimize design efficiency and accuracy in fire protection systems.
