Automated Code Checking Survey

The following rquest is sanctioned by and related to the International Code Council SmartCodes effort and is not an advertisement but a market evaluation effort.

The International Code Council (ICC) is in the process of developing a new product that will facilitate automated code checking. This product is called SMARTCodes and it has the potential to highly impact the efficiency of code checking and by extension the permit issuing timeframe.

In an effort to explore and understand the market for SMARTCodes and to ensure that customer needs are well represented in the final product, we would like to speak with Architects, Engineers and Building Owners.

This should take no more than 30 minutes of your time and will be instrumental in our research of and development of a go-to-market strategy for SMARTCodes.

If you are interested, please contact me directly at <mailto:gwhitmore@obscidion.com> gwhitmore@obscidion.com to express your interest and to schedule a time to talk.

Thank you for your assistance with this important project.

We will then be configuring the database connection. When working with the DataTools in Navisworks, there are a few very important rules to keep in mind. If you are using a 32-bit workstation, then you need to utilize the 32-bit ODBC drivers. 64-bit workstations need to utilize 64-bit ODBC drivers. It is also important to note, that the link to Navisworks is one way. Data can be linked and viewed inside of Navisworks, but the data can’t be updated within Navisworks. My workstations are all Windows 10 64-bit workstations. My PC’s are using

Navisworks - Multiple Iterations and Locked Files

Image
While working in Navisworks and you find that you are updating your models frequently, you have probably ran into the issue of having to close your Navisworks model in order to update your appended model. There is a quick way to get around this. In the Options Editor >  Model   > Performance , make sure “Close NWC/NWD Files on Load” is checked. This will now allow you to overwrite NWC files without unloading them in your NWF file. So when you have an updated NWC that has overwritten the existing file, you just need to refresh Navisworks for the new model(s) to load.
