Visicon Model Check List

Visicon Model Check List:

  1. Check the latest version of the architectural Revit model to highlight all specific changes between versions
  2. Compare new architectural model with current structural model to:
    1. check locations of all columns to make sure all are properly placed, and
    2. identify floor variations in openings and edge of deck.
  3. Perform incremental cost estimates for each version of the structural Revit model to:
    1. identify and eliminate any duplicate elements, and
    2. run quantity take off report and export quantities that have changed.
  4. Run quality check between updated structural design model and production model to:
    1. compare ETABS and Revit Model to verify geometry (i.e. sizes and locations match within reasonable limits), and
    2. compare current ETABS model and prior version to quickly understand what has changed in the model.
  5. Conduct separate clash checks for:
    1. mechanical ducts versus structure,
    2. piping layout versus structure, and
    3. piping layout versus mechanical ductwork (to assist other disciplines).
  6. Review structural steel shop fabrication model to:
    1. verify overall geometry,
    2. check member shapes and sizes, and
    3. isolate differences to show:
      1. any elements in the Revit model that are not in the Tekla model, and
      2. elements in the Tekla model that are not in the Revit model.

(The fabrication model is expected to be more complete therefore seeing the difference is important.)
