The problem of duplicate content in BIM workflows is a pervasive one. BIM content is expensive to create, and would ideally be reusable - if it was properly stored and indexed. Developing workflows that enable designers to find the content they need and eliminate rework is critical to project efficiency.
AVAIL’s Cross-Channel Search, Visualization, and Harvesting capabilities unite to form a powerful antidote for costly duplicate files. Here is how:
1. Cross-Channel Search: The problem of siloed folders is widespread for companies of all shapes and sizes, but particularly for BIM content users. With all that effort put into developing content, how can you ensure it isn’t being rebuilt time and time again? Enter Cross-Channel Search, AVAIL’s new feature which allows you to search, retrieve, and compare thumbnails across your entire content library via one search box. This allows similar and duplicate pieces of content to reveal themselves instantaneously, enabling you to avoid rework and find exactly what you need.
Removing the paradigm of duplicate file creation is as easy as 1-2-3 with AVAIL. Want to learn other ways we make things simple for BIM managers? Check out these other articles!
