Importing the CSV file automatically generates large lists of symbols, along with the associated comment.Įmbed images, 360-degree images or even videos with audio giving a clear description of the field conditions. To save the most time, I suggest building your symbol list in Microsoft Excel. These symbols are manually created ahead of time or on the fly. Standardising plan symbology will replace long, written notes – increasing consistency, legibility and speed. Here are 11 of my favourite Revu tools that ease field data collection and distribution. So, how has Bluebeam Revu improved field data documentation? Obviously, this was before emerging technologies like building information modeling (BIM) and laser scanning. These measurements would then be brought back to the office to make sure the railings and stairs fit perfectly when fabricated. As a result, I was often required to juggle large plan rolls, tape measures, pens and a level to measure existing conditions. I started my career detailing structural steel. Today I want to talk about Defection Inspections, QA/QC or whatever you might call it when you collect field data during or after construction.
