In the rapidly evolving AEC industry, the application of BIM technology has become key to enhancing project efficiency. WeBIM Services recognizes this and has thus introduced the “Permit Drawing Area Division Toolkit,” a pivotal tool within the SyncoBox BIM Workflow Solutions suite, designed to improve the workflow of permit area drawings from BIM models.

The Challenge of Permit Drawing Regulations

Imagine you are the BIM team leader at an architectural firm, responsible for a large-scale mixed-use office building development project. In this project, you are faced with complex building regulation drawings and area calculation requirements. Previously, your team would spend hours, even days, manually dividing and calculating areas for each region, which was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Now, with the “Permit Drawing Area Division Toolkit,” your workflow will be transformed.

Automation of Area Division and Drawing

The “Permit Drawing Area Division Toolkit” brings you the following benefits:

  1. Automated Division: Automatically divides complex-shaped regulatory area ranges into calculable sections, eliminating the need for manual line drawing.
  2. Automated Listing: Automatically lists the divided areas with calculations, supporting various presentation methods.
  3. Rapid Annotation: Automatically numbers and labels the divided sections, allowing for the use of detailed tables for drawing and information verification.
  4. Batch Processing: Supports multi-floor batch processing, completing the area drawings for an entire building at once.
  5. Detail Drawing Support: For smaller areas, creates detailed drawings at a larger scale to clearly present annotated dimensions.

With these features, we estimate that you can complete the area division drawings for a floor in just 15 minutes, compared to the traditional process that took several hours, saving a significant amount of manual labor time and ensuring consistency with the model.

Conclusion

The “Permit Drawing Area Division Toolkit” not only ensures the credibility of the drawing model information but also makes the previously challenging regulatory drawings possible within the BIM workflow. With the launch of our new product in April, let us welcome a future that is more precise and efficient.
