In many precast projects, a number of identical elements are involved. Though identical in all respects, each precast element is allotted a unique ID in the precast BIM software. In scenarios where a precast factory caters to multiple projects at different locations, it can occasionally occur that an element intended for a specific location is either mistakenly or intentionally directed to another project site. To compensate for such a redirection, a new similar element with a distinct ID must be dispatched to the original project location.
To avoid potential confusion surrounding such relocation of precast elements, it is imperative for BIM software platforms to incorporate a feature that accounts for such occurrences. This ensures that stakeholders have clear visibility and tracking of the precast elements that are swapped in this manner. At IMPACT BIM, we recognize the importance of this functionality and have integrated this feature into our software, thereby eliminating any confusion or ambiguity.
