A bimU Agile plugin for automatically extracting rebar information and creating issues for rebar inspection. This is one of the experimental plugins for the dedicated scenario.

Tekla.bimU.1.mp4

Introduction

Quality check for rebar is regularly conducted during the construction. Conventionally, inspectors bring drawings and inspection sheets (paper-based) to the site and check whether the construction matches the design. This plugin targets to improve the process in three aspects:

1. Speed up the preparation for onsite inspection: Design data of rebar can be extracted and listed automatically.
2. Digitalised management of inspection: Only an iPad or tablet is needed onsite to view the design data, take photos, and fill in the inspection sheet.
3. Speed up the documentation process: Reduce time for creating inspection report after the inspection.

Features

• Extract rebar design data from Tekla BIM model
• Batch create inspection items as issues
• Easily manage and review issues through bimU Agile table view and kanban view
• Export inspection report with customisable Word template
