Allied - Fabrication Tools

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

Fabrication Tools for Autodesk® Revit® - Version 01.45.00

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) process is still new to many contractors. Fabrication Tools for Revit were designed to help all contractors adopt this new process easily. Fabrication Tools for Revit allow smooth information transferring between 3D fabrication modelers and the prefabrication shop or foreman on the job site. Fabrication Tools for Revit is a first-of-its-kind add-in software application for Revit and Autodesk® Revit® MEP that helps designers more efficiently optimize assembly spooling and material procurement. Fabrication Tools for Revit ensures that all assemblies are error-free and export-ready for prefabrication or on-site fabrication with TigerStop machines, saving time, and reducing the cost for the contractor.

Assemblies may then be processed using Fabrication Tools for Revit TigerStop export tools. Assemblies can be exported and pipes can be filtered to be optimized to the user's TigerStop machine. Upon applying TigerStop settings, exporting assemblies, pipe segments can easily be translated to a .CSV file and run on the user's TigerLink 6 profile that is linked to their Fabrication Tools for Revit application.

Fabrication Tools for Revit outputs critical data on each assembly, such as assembly names, pipe sizes, lengths, and quantities, into .CSV files. These files may be electronically transferred to programmable TigerStop machines to ensure accuracy in fabrication. For traditional, non-programmable machines, assembly data may be output into .XLS files that can be printed and used as a comprehensive guide to correctly mark each assembly piece.

Compatible with all TigerStop TigerLink 6 connected machines.
