TAGS LINKED TO ATTRIBUTES
An unlimited number of tags each containing an unlimited number of properties and information can be added to a single attribute. This enables ArtrA to turn 3D models, with limited intelligence into data rich BIMs that can be used for construction and lifecycle management. ArtrA tags can be used in various ways to add new project information during design and construction; data capture in the field; support the various processes used on process plant and AEC projects including:
- Snagging & line punching
- Progress monitoring
- Inspection & maintenance
- Material take-off
- Commissioning
- Data capture of corrosion monitoring results
TAG INPUT FORMS
Tags become available in the field from a (discipline driven) list when an item in the model has been selected. There can be several tags associated to a single object according to the number of processes involved (fig 1.). Once selected a TAG-INPUT-FORM ‘pops up’ containing all the properties and data fields that must be completed by the field engineers.
EASY TO USE - POWERFUL POTENTIAL
ArtrA tags can be defined and managed without any specialised programming skills, and can be organised into disciplines to categorise, manage and create meaningful reports. Once a new tag is defined it is dragged & dropped onto the results of a search using Librarian. Each tag contains properties defined in the 'Property Manager'. Some properties are populated by CAD attributes, others consist of new data.
TAG & PROPERTY TYPES
A property is defined as one of eight 'types': Short Text | Date/Time | Whole Number | Decimal Number | Masked Text | Yes/No | Sequenced value | Memo/Long Text. Once defined, the properties are assigned to a tag .
MAKING THE MODEL WORK HARDER
ArtrA puts the power and intelligence of 3D process plant models and building information models into the hands of the construction and maintenance teams. It can be used on office-based hardware or on tablet PCs in the field.
ARTRA TAGS
ArtrA is unique in that it allows an unlimited amount of information to be added to a 3D plant model or BIM without the need for CAD. TAGS & PROPERTIES containing the information reside in ArtrA’s SQL database and are attached to attributes in the models.
