RECORDED WEBINAR Generate traditional deliverables faster using BIM for Bridges

In this webinar we discuss an integrated CAD and BIM approach to project delivery, which allows engineers to work in a 2D CAD environment to deliver both 3D BIM models and high-quality 2D deliverables from the same workflow.

Using a 3D model to drive 2D deliverables augments your existing plans production process with the best features of 3D modeling: automated rebar detailing, conflict detection, and quantities/geometry reporting. It streamlines QA/QC by deriving all plans, quantities, and reinforcement schedules from the information and geometry contained in the BIM model, ensuring that deliverables are consistent and responsive to change.

This approach brings advantages to project delivery such as:

Advanced modeling in a 2D to 3D workflow
Efficient production of deliverables
Saving time on late-stage QA/QC and change management
Creating value by preparing .dgn and .dwg deliverables
