#Kitchen faucet sketchup update

One of the strength of using Trimble Connect is that you can do clash detection, a common tool used in BIM, where multiple ‘aspect’ models need to be checked upon.įor SketchUp models, it is wise to uncheck the ‘Same objecttype’, for SketchUp files don’t have a clue on different ‘categories’, or families, like in Revit:

You can add multiple section cuts and more view groups as well, btw One can have a quick review, make annotations and save those views with comments and add them to a View group to be discussed in the next meeting: One way to set this up is to upload the main model and the interior model to Trimble Connect and use the viewer to look at the models. I love the discussion tho, I am in search of a solution that has minimal chances for errors to occur!

In reality it is a ridiculous request of us to have people review the previous updates before proceeding on their own work. Because of the amount of people involved on one project, these small issues become compounded and the others lose track of the last persons update. I think the system we’re steering towards is keeping the two models separate and then having a “master model” that we will be able to use as a check. The idea of a model with “locked in” features is a fantasy with the amount of changes that occur during meetings, reviews, etc…

It’s not really a matter of “who dun it”… It would be nice to incorporate a system that just makes the update in both places (ideally) OR at the very least remind the user that this change needs to be updated in the other model as well. Our problem arises when a design decision impacts the main model (such as a window move) which then sometimes gets overlooked. This is our current workflow at the moment.
