It’s a simple fact—successful projects depend on good communication. What’s not so simple—there’s a tremendous volume of information that must be shared between multiple stakeholders in any construction project. Last month’s article, The 3D Model Everyone Can Access, focused on the “big picture” and how we are heavily reliant on information and details from each customer, whether they are a homeowner, a building designer, an architect, or an engineer. As we dive deeper into a project, however, there are even more details to review—details that are easily managed with TrueBuild® Cloud.
Fortunately, we are beyond the days of having component manufacturers printing out reams of paper and sending hard copies for approval. We have electronic communication, such as email and file sharing. But, most reviewers still have to rely on their ability to translate 2D information into 3D visualization—that is, unless they’re using TrueBuild® Cloud.
With TrueBuild® Cloud, truss fabricators can give anyone access to their model without a nagging app. Any device with an internet connection can view, rotate, zoom, control layers, and even view profiles with complete control.
As the graphics show [for images, See PDF or View in Full Issue], your ability to “peel back the layers” is unlimited. In effect, you can see the house “being built” in various stages. Interactive not static, this makes it even easier to communicate the details that set your work apart and highlight the nuances of your projects. And, it’s extremely user-friendly.
Easily open the component list, find the component to review, and the view will zoom to that component in the model. Users can even view a profile of the component while in the 3D viewport.
TrueBuild® Cloud is also a valuable tool for assisting in placement for wall panel jobs. The ability to quickly and accurately identify an individual panel, wireless and paperless, while on a jobsite brings extreme value.
If you fabricate components for homeowners, builders, general contractors, or even installation contractors, TrueBuild® Cloud will take your communication to the next level. There are enough constraints in your business day in and day out—don’t let sharing information outside your organization be one of them!
