Automate repetitive workflows - Boost Efficiency:
BIM Automation streamlines workflows by automating repetitive tasks in BIM models. Imagine saying goodbye to data entry, element tagging, and report generation – freeing you to focus on strategic aspects and innovation.
Precision Takes Center Stage:
Automation minimizes human error while reducing project lead time, leading to BIM models with unparalleled precision – a rock-solid foundation for project success.

Powerful Tools for Every Need:
Tekla Structures API: Tekla structures Open API empowers automation of detailing workflows including model checks, clash detection, connection modelling and drawings. Moreover, Trimble Connect and PowerFab platform further allow scripting and automation for operations and data integration and on cloud level.
Dynamo (Revit): Build custom scripts for tasks like complex schedules or MEP layouts.
Grasshopper (Rhino 3D): Automate workflows and integrate with structural analysis software for tasks like generating connection details in Revit based on real-time analysis data.
PyRevit (Revit): For advanced users, this Python-based tool offers a more code-centric approach to automation.
AutoCAD APIs: AutoCAD’s VB .Net APIs and ObjectARX allow coding for automation of repetitive tasks, reporting, quantity takeoffs, dynamic cost estimation, etc.
The Future is Bright:
Machine Learning (ML): Imagine automated object recognition, quantity takeoff, and clash detection.
Generative Design: AI explores design options based on your parameters, optimizing for efficiency.
Cloud-Based Solutions: Cloud platforms make BIM automation more accessible and collaborative.
BIM Automation: A Game Changer
By embracing BIM Automation, you'll improve efficiency, reduce errors, and foster seamless collaboration. It's the key to unlocking the full potential of BIM and achieving groundbreaking results.
