Moving from 2D to 3D rebar detailing with Allplan offers many advantages for detailers as the rebars can be fully visualized in 3D while being detailed quickly using familiar 2D workflows. However, detailing rebar is only a part of the job; other tasks such as visualization, document and drawing production, change and project management activities also cost a lot of time. Whether the detailing process is operated completely in-house or by outsourcing a professional drafting company, 3D rebar detailing provides businesses in AEC industry significant benefits. It is not only transform the rebar detailing process, but businesses can also enjoy profits that arise as a result of time savings.
In comparison to 2D rebar CAD software, the accuracy or in other words – the quality is greatedly increased with 3D rebar detailing software. As the quantity or section and view can be derived automatically from the 3D model, potential mistakes can be prevented. This will resulted in improved accuracy, fewer errors, which in turn leads to less re-work and fewer wasted materials during production. The increased quality also helps businesses to gain a better reputation with contractors and engineers and potentially lead to more work.
3D rebar detailing software help to create a complete set of rebar documentation faster which will enable detailers to take on more projects in the same amount of time. Information can be extracted quickly and automatically from the 3D rebar model for reports including bending schedules and quantities. Besides, cross-sections and views can be generated in seconds while drawing layouts can then be created in a fraction of the time. Accelerated documentation production means more projects can be accommodated, allowing a business to grow without the need to hire and train additional staff.
The automatic updating of the 3D rebar model and drawing layouts means that changes are less likely to affect profit margins. With Allplan, the 3D model is the source of all the information which is contained in drawings. When the model changes, views and sections are updated automatically without the need to be manually re-drawn. Besides, reports can be re-generated and re-inserted into the layout in seconds. This will help to save a considerable amount of time comparing to 2D methods. Clients are satisfied as their changes are accommodated quickly while companies are happy as their profits are protected.
Engineering firms sometimes outsource a professional drafting company for rebar detailing due to the lack of in-house manpower and/or capabilitites. However, the effort required for coordination and quality assurance could be quite high. The higher productivity that Allplan enables – up to 30% – can offer business another choice to carry out the tasks by themselves instead of outsourcing. At the same time, the time saving and increased quality help companies to stay competitive.
Thanks to smart and automated tools of 3D rebar detailing software , precision, quality, productivity can be improved and changes are easier to manage. This enables drafters to be more productive. Therefore, engineering and precast companies can save a significant amount of time and take on more work with the same staff as a result, providing an instant boost in profit margins. In addition, rebar detailing companies can increase their competitiveness by providing a high-quality service that other firms cannot. Hence, working smarter with 3D rebar detailing software is essential for business to stay competitive and profitable.
