The web spellchecker of buildings: Ultimate solution of building information modeling

Verifi3D by Xinaps is a cloud-based (SaaS) solution for building design checks and validation. Increase productivity by 30-40% by streamlining BIM model-checking process through its advanced rule-based engine & 3rd party integrations in the browser.

Xinaps was founded in 2016 by a dedicated expert team with an aim of bringing greater consistency in building data.In the beginning Xinaps was involved in developing Revit Plugins for architects which were sold globally.

Via transitioning plug-in to a cloud-based totally answer, Xinaps desired to offer AEC industry experts, the power to enhance the fine of building designs, reduce the amount of waste, enhance margins, and have an effect on CO2 reduction. With the quality of constructing designs may be simplified and optimized. Beginning with the idea to improve layout automation inside 3-D drawing answers,Verifi3d specialists worked hard to create an answer to be able to advantage the AEC industry specialists. they started out their cloud strategy inside the early 2020s after realizing the ability and strength of cloud computing. It becomes the subsequent step in allowing innovation and growth.

Cloud services were already transforming the business models of companies around the world—from small to medium-sized firms to large multinational enterprises as it offered new capabilities for innovation, lowering the entry barrier for new entrants and facilitating experimentation. At the same time, it raised the scale and customer expectations of service flexibility with industry-specific issues such as larger file sizes, different file formats and inconsistent data.

 

There are 7steps in Verifi3d work process:

Log in/Sign In: User can login with their Verifi3d or Autodesk account credentials.

Sync models with CDEs/load models locally: By selecting any project any model or several models can be loaded from the lists and loaded models with be available in model set builder where the positions and coordinates can be edited from model position option.

Create a project: Projects can be created form the projects option in to load the models under the project.

Filter templates: To avail filters models are required to be loaded in the 3d viewer and filters are created in order to distinguish elements by adding unique colors to filter, Morever , in filter results the selected elements name ,id and other property name and detail can be acquired. Also by clicking on the selected element on 3d viewer the properties of the element/elements can be acquired in element properties panel.

Rule templates: Rules can be applied to the selected model or the selected element of the model to see in there are any clashes occurred or not. Clashed areas will be red if there are any.

Automated clash checks can be set up by using one of Verifi3D’s built-in clash algorithms to create parametrically defined Rule Sets. Catering to different scenarios, Verifi3D has a hard Clash Check, a soft clash check called “Free Space Check”, and intersection checks that test individual and federated models for any occurring intersections.

Assisted clash checking can be understood as a hybrid between manual and automated checks, made possible by the simple and interactive user interface in Verifi3D. The aim is seamless transitions from purely manual checking to the use of user-defined filters, to the use of algorithmic checks. In construction projects, there are always edge cases and unforeseen situations. Assisted checking workflows allow the user to make manual checking more efficient, and to make automated checking more meaningful.

Report, Assign and Track issues: Detected clashes can be reported to the issues by adding screenshots of the clashed elements, and assigning names and descriptions.

Continue to the workflow: later on from the same situation at the same time other projects and models can be uploaded to continue the process for other models in this genius web application.

In any construction or engineering project, multiple workflows are happening at once. Moving to the cloud, provided us with a platform to reach a larger group of people who are involved in data validation and model checking. With a small group of customers, Verifi3d team started to work on the foundation of a browser-based solution. They invested hours to better understand every step of workflows where model coordination, rule-based checking, and reporting were key elements. The teams spent hours developing proofs of concepts and experimenting with different standards, which has led to a universal solution supporting workflows from late design to the early-construction stage. The team developed Verifi3D keeping in mind the existing challenges of Building Information Modelling (BIM) which is suitable for many people in the industry who are not directly involved in the design process but need to check and clash designs. Verifi3D was introduced to the market in the summer of 2022 with its notable advanced rule-based engine and agnostic functionality after undergoing extensive testing, user feedback, and iterations.

Verifi3D bridges the gap between design and early construction. It tackles many of the issues by providing teams with enhanced model coordination and automated clash detection for less manual work. It is browser-based for simple collaboration and better coordination between teams. Verifi3D supports Revit and IFC files, eliminating the need for converting and transferring files without losing data. It is integrated with Common Data Environments (CDEs), such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk BIM 360 and Dropbox, and issue trackers, such as Autodesk BIM 360, BIM Track and BIMcollab. Users can create and export issue reports as BCF file.

Verifi3D streamlines the model-checking process by simplifying and optimizing existing workflow through its advanced rule-based engine, 3rd party integrations and cloud-based structure. As a result, users can improve profit margins, reduce rework and carbon footprint. By putting an end to inconsistent data through automated checks processes are made more efficient and error-proof.

Cloud services are inevitable for the construction industry. As the construction industry embraces digital transformation, it will become a pillar, making it simpler for teams to keep costs in check and projects on schedule. We believe data can make a difference especially if everybody in the late design and early construction stage can work with tools that are on the market. They are committed to the journey of the AEC industry where processes are automated, risks are managed, and customers are satisfied .
