Unveiling Infrakit OFFICE 3.8.4: IFC Property Sets, Flexible As-Built Exports, and Smooth Adding Of Properties!

Summer is officially here (even in the Nordic countries, here over 15 Celsius is equivalent to summer), and we all know what that means for infrastructure construction -> prime time to build!

In the summer months when the projects are operating at full steam, it is undeniably crucial to have all the supporting elements in place. As our stake in the construction of infrastructure is to provide you with our software to function as the project information management platform to support your project’s path to success, we cannot afford to be the weak link, but rather the source of strength.

To be the so-called “source of strength” for you, we are eager to showcase the improvements our R&D team has made for version 3.8.4, which we can confidently state making your everyday project life easier than ever! So, time to grab your beloved coffee (or tea) mug and have a 5-minute break watching our new highlights!

 

IFC Property sets are here!

Imagine trying to read everything on the internet via binary code. Correct me if I am wrong, but I can’t believe anyone on the planet using any software if it was such! *Awkward silence* Well… Now we have truly taken a far-fetched bridge to justify why our IFC property sets improvement is awesome. This perhaps is the point where you consider why are you reading these blog posts…

But to be frank, I mean that just shows how important it is to have the information in a well-condensed and sorted format to be used! Does it matter that the IFC file has all the property information if it is burdensome to access that information? Now that IFC property sets in Infrakit are in a well-organized form, you can access the relevant information with ease and speed, such as volumes and sizes, or information for the installation crew! 

By the way, just look at how magnificently the Sobstad AS utilizes these! No need to be jealous, but come on, these guys know what they are doing! (Okay, a bit of jealousy is fine until you achieve their level 😉)

Flexible As-Built Export to fulfill the CDE 

Wait, did we just have the same headline on the 3.8.3 release blog? Nope! Last time it was about flexible as-built IMPORT, now it is time for praising flexible as-built EXPORT! The narrative has now beautifully come a full circle, as Infrakit construction CDE features regarding as-built data have wholesome flexibility.

The as-built data can be now exported in a format that directly suits your further use for example in data prep tools when more accurate deviation reports are needed or data is needed for creating mesh models for volume calculation use case.

 

File and photo properties on the go

Properties are an awesome thing to have for files and photos, that’s for sure. But we know it’s frustrating to add those after the uploading, cause it just could have been done already… Well, not anymore, because we made it now possible to add the properties while uploading! Now that saves a minute or two a day, workdays in the long run!
