  • .dwg based Take off with custom Plug ins

    Tek1 has developed .dwg based plugins which talk to Tekla to carry out take-off efficiently

    Take off is completed in .dwg based Cad systems very similar to modeling in Tekla. For BIM model the model is converted to Tekla

    Reports can be taken either from .dwg system or Tekla. Right now reports are being taken out of Tekla. Our next effort is to develop a plugin which will convert the .dwg model into an IFC model.

    If anyone is able to help us in this developing the plug int convert .dwg based model to an IFC model we will be very interested.

    Here is a sample file.

    ACTCAD for Material Take off

    Tek1 has developed ACTCAD based take off tools of easy estimation. Members are modelled in ACTCAD and converted to Tekla with single click with an API call. In some cases we are now able to create IFC straight from .dwg models.

    Deliverables include IFC model, and reports. Reports as below.

    Material list – for

    1. Hot rolled items
    2. Cold Rolled items
    3. Bridging list
    4. Galvanized Items
    5. Trimble connect model

    Fittings, Baseplate bolts are excluded from take-off.

    However we do take off exclued itemson request at extra cost.
