Work sequence for creating a detailed model of plumbing systems

The sequence of operations for generating and managing the detailed digital model of the system in the program is as follows.

1. Export the plumbing and sanitation installations already calculated in the programme to the "Digital Model" tab (using the "Digital Model" option in the "Analysis" group in each corresponding tab, "Water Systems", "Sanitary Systems" and/or "Solar Systems").
2. Access the "Digital Model" tab, review the imported installations and initial configuration:
   • View the exported installations in the "Digital Model" tab (from "Layer configuration").
   • Import manufacturer catalogues for the detailed model (from the "Catalogues" option in the "Project" group).
   • Configuration of the series of materials to be used in the project (from the "General options" option in the "Project" group).
3. Creation of the detailed model. Detailed models for each installation can be generated automatically or created manually, piece by piece:
   • Automatic generation of detailed models:
     • First, the pieces that make up the pipes for each detailed model are generated ("Pipes" option in the "Generate" group). The first time this option is run, a detailed model will be added to the list of models accessible from "Layer configuration".
     • Next, the fittings are generated ("Fittings" option in the "Generate" group) for each detailed model generated.
     • (Optional) For greater control and precision in the generation process, you can use the other options in the "Generate" group, which allow you to generate only selected parts of the installation or a specific type of fitting.
   • (Optional) If you need to add more detailed models or edit any of the detailed models generated, use the specific options in the top toolbar of "Layer settings" ("Add", "Delete", "Edit", "Copy").
   • (Optional) If necessary to complete the model at any point, you can enter and place the parts of each detailed model one by one from the options in the "Elements" group or from the options in the specific group for each manufacturer that appears when you download a manufacturer and restart the program.
   • (Optional) If you need to modify any element of the detailed model, you can use the tools in the "Edit" group.
4. Checking and reviewing the detailed model
   • Configure the checking options for each detailed model (from the "Checks" option in "Layer settings").
   • Checking the detailed models (from the "Check errors" option in "Layer settings"). Any errors found during the check will be displayed on the screen.
   • (Optional) You can track the work process using the detailed model review options (in the "Review" group), which allow the user to colour the parts of the model that are in different review states.
   • (Optional) If the model requires it, it may be necessary to return to the analysis tabs, make modifications to the design, and re-export to the "Digital Model" tab. Then, in the "Digital Model" tab, the parts of the installation with changes can be deleted and regenerated.
5. Obtaining and exporting results
   • Obtaining the reports with the quantities of the pipe parts and fittings (from the "Reports" option in the top bar, in the "Digital Model" tab).
   • Obtaining the drawings of the detailed model indicating the reference of the parts and fittings (using the options in the "Layout" tab).
   • Obtaining the measurements of parts and fittings in BC3 format (from the "Export in BC3 format" option in the top bar, in the "Digital Model" tab).
   • Exporting the detailed model to BIMserver.center (from the "Share" option in the "BIMserver.center" group).
