![]() ![]() The export is capable of complex infrastructure with proper node placement and saves hours of manual input in a matter of minutes (this includes an automated 3D view in Revit with node numbering). Currently MicroBIM exports from Revit to several stand-alone calculations programs such as Hyena, which is similar to HASS in the USA. In addition, pipes are drawn seamlessly in Revit until you apply the ‘cut pipe’ tool (MicroBIM does not create separate pipe segments at each POL like other popular design programs) which facilitates modifications to a full run of pipe with a single click and allows your modeling to remain more efficient until you are ready to move to fabrication. The modeling detail is exactly what is going to be replicated in the field such as pipe outlets, couplings and fittings. The amount of automated tools and the time they save is staggering. Everything you could think of in designing sprinkler/hydrant systems from start to finish is in this program from builderswork documentation, through calculations to materials reports. I have been designing sprinkler systems since 2000 and can say without a doubt that MicroBIM is by far the most innovative and complete package you could ask for in an application specific design program.
