Tek1 Tools – Panel Comparisons (Precast)

Demo – Tool To Compare Panels and Easily Identify Differences

Here’s the situation:

Someone from the factory floor calls in:

“Hey can you move a cast in plate across panel number ABC123”

“Sure – let me just check there are no —”

“GIVE ME THE DRAWINGS NOW!”

The problem with handing over the drawings without checking the layout is that you might make a big mistake! Or you might forget to ensure the two drawings link up and are the same.

You need a tool to easily check the panels, identify differences and to alert the detailer. This will also allow you to easily split up work. – you can assign that work to a junior detailer, so he/she gains experience, while it frees up time for you to focus on other things.

And if you do find a difference, it’s a big ordeal brining the layout up to speed. With this program, it automatically imports the pertinent block/polyline etc. without you lifting a finger.

The advantages are many. The simplicity is sublime. Enough talk.

Here’s the demo of the tool. I hope you enjoy it.

This tool currently works for only Bubble Deck. But I am going to make it work for all clients across a variety of edge cases and am going to speed up the algorithm considerably. I will post the new tool when it is completed.
