Save significant time performing steel drawing review.

Use Visicon's powerful comparison algorithms to quickly compare Tekla or SDS2 steel fabrication models with your Revit or ETABS structural models.

Steel_page_merge_models

Merge and Compare Models

  • Easily merge fabrication and design intent models
  • Immediately identify objects from disparate models that represent the same structural member using Visicon’s proprietary Component Matching operation
  • Set up testing rules to automatically identify discrepancies between models

See Missing Components

  • Identify missing columns and beams
  • Locate elements in the fabrication model that may not be included in the structural design model (connecting plates, bolts, façade bracing, etc.)

Steel_page_confirm_member_sizes

Confirm Member Sizes

  • Validate member assignments between the fabrication and design models
  • Rapidly confirm matching sizes so reviewer can focus valuable time on unique conditions

Identify Out-of-Tolerance Configurations

  • Set up tolerance criteria for areas, alignment, or any other component property
  • Color-code matching objects that fall outside of specified tolerances for visual confirmation

Steel_page_model_changes

Track Changes

  • Identify every difference between two different versions of a fabrication model
  • Display precise geometric changes in the model
  • Run variance reports to quantify differences in tonnage or other properties

Generate Issue Reports

  • Create issue reports for all model discrepancies
