Cadalyst - September 2007 - (Page 46) aecinfocus tity extraction methods can be user-customized and reused for multiple projects. Visual Estimating generates object quantities directly from a design model in seconds or minutes, depending on the approach. The quantities are extracted based on object types and their dimensions. The quantities can be organized and saved by different classifications such as Construction Specification Institute (CSI) or Uniformat. The quantities also are linked automatically with the objects that can be viewed in 3D. Finally, these quantities can be used to create reports in Microsoft Excel or to perform assembly and item takeoff within Visual Estimating using Timberline engines. Composer for Revit Architecture, Architectural Desktop, and AutoCAD Architecture is an add-on program for Revit Building, Revit Structure, Architectural Desktop, and AutoCAD Architecture. It imports the Revit, Architectural Desktop, and Architecture building and structural element information into an Innovaya project model then exports the model into an INV file, which can be read by all Innovaya visual applications for visualization, communication, quantity takeoff, cost estimating, and construction simulating. Figure 2. Innovaya Visual Estimating accurately performs cost estimating by delivering objects from Autodesk’s Architectural Desktop, AutoCAD Architecture, and Revit Architecture to Sage Timberline.
