Capibility - What you can do with ami.OLE
-
Import Track Alignment: Effortlessly import track alignments using the alignment panel for a seamless workflow.
-
Recreate Existing OLE Structures: Quickly generate 3D geometry enriched with asset-rich data by leveraging existing drawing data through the re-modelling tools.
-
Layout and Model New OLE Structures: The Design panel allows easy placement of single or multiple OLE placeholders, while the Modelling panel enables efficient modelling of foundations, masts, ancillary brackets, cantilevers, anchors, and wires.
-
Documentation and Reporting: Automate tasks such as cross-section generation, dimensioning, levels, allocation tables, cantilever tube length reports, and more using the Documentation panel. Export key reports (e.g., foundation schedules or dropper lengths) to Excel for streamlined project management.
-
Manage Updates and Design Changes: Utilise specialised tools to update alignments and edit structures, cantilevers, ancillaries, wires, and more, ensuring smooth design adaptation to changes.
-
Produce BIM-Compatible Digital Twin Model: Generate a 3D model that’s BIM-compatible, suitable for network management and maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency and lifecycle management.
Resources
Our goal is to develop a comprehensive Revit content library of OLE components, tailored to meet the specific needs of various regions.
This initiative aims to provide a centralised resource for designers, engineers, and contractors, enabling them to access high-quality, parametric Revit elements that comply with regional standards, codes, and best practices.
By offering a diverse range of OLE equipment, including structures, insulators, switches, cantilevers, and wiring systems, ami.OLE seeks to enhance efficiency, consistency, and accuracy in infrastructure design projects across the globe.
The library will be continuously updated to reflect evolving industry requirements and advancements, ensuring its relevance and reliability for all users.
