MSUITE BIM

MSUITE BIM is a design automation software specifically designed for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors. According to the vendor, this software aims to streamline workflows for fast-paced MEP contractors. It offers a range of features and functionalities catered to professionals in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contracting, as well as construction firms and building information modeling (BIM) professionals.

Key Features

Spools and Sheets: MSUITE BIM includes the Auto Spool feature, which allows for the rapid creation of assemblies using construction logic and project parameters. Additionally, the software offers the DIY Spool Sheets feature to automate the placement of views, dimensions, tags, and more, with the aim of ensuring compatibility between fabrication and fieldwork.

Hangers and Supports: The Instant Hanger Placement and Reporting feature in MSUITE BIM aims to simplify the process of placing hangers throughout a model. It provides automation and reporting capabilities, facilitating effective collaboration with layout teams in the field.

Integrating BIM to Fab: According to the vendor, MSUITE BIM seamlessly integrates with Autodesk BIM360 Docs and Forge, allowing for the efficient exchange of 2D and 3D model data. This feature enables a direct connection between model information and shop equipment cut tables, enhancing the fabrication process.

Autodesk Revit Plug-in: MSUITE BIM offers an in-application ribbon containing tools that expedite spool and sheet creation for Revit users. The plug-in enhances the integration with MSUITE Fab, facilitating accurate information transfer and streamlining the workflow.

Create & Color Spools: MSUITE BIM allows contractors to manually create spools within seconds. Additionally, the software offers the ability to color code spools, providing quick identification within the model.

Break Spools: The Break Spools feature in MSUITE BIM enables users to quickly adjust and create new spools by breaking preexisting ones. This feature offers flexibility in the fabrication process.

Titleblock & Sheet Layout: MSUITE BIM supports custom Titleblocks with parameter mapping, allowing for the creation and placement of schedules for cuts, joints, and materials.

Speed: According to the vendor, MSUITE BIM boasts impressive speed, capable of creating a fully annotated sheet in just 3-15 seconds. This is significantly faster compared to manual spooling, which typically takes 5-10 minutes.

Auto-Dimensions: MSUITE BIM's Auto-Dimensions feature automatically dimensions rolling offsets and displays centers, faces, and ends in any view, simplifying the annotation process.

Auto-Tag & Annotation: MSUITE BIM's Auto-Tag feature automatically places overlap-free tags and annotations. It provides construction annotations with dimensions, item number tags, size tags, continuation tags, and dimensions to grids, according to the vendor.
