We use Trimble SysQue for drawing piping at a fabricable level, place hangers, and create point files. Their comprehensive library of content allows us to use a wide range of materials, connection methods, and hanger types. With BIM becoming more and more prevalent as a requirement for construction projects and the required LOD is higher and higher Trimble SysQue has been one of the tools that we have been using to achieve that.
  • The amount of content in their database library
  • The ability to change materials after piping has already been drawn with minimal rework
  • Hanger placement and point creation
  • The parameters for content is inconsistent from one fitting to another. As cloud spooling and automated cutters become more and more prevalent this becomes a problem to feed the right information to a fabrication shop or cutter and causes delays in production.
  • Trimble SysQue draws with generic fittings/pipe and then converts it to the selected system. The processing time for those fittings can be quite long sometimes.
  • Thread-o-lets do not work correctly a good portion of the time. When detailing a mechanical room this is a huge problem.
For drawing plumbing where you are usually not needing any kind of taps it does really well. Once you become familiar with it, you can draw underground really quickly. Their water closet carrier families are great! Being able to draw a restroom skid with such a high level of detail is a definite plus. Also, being able to create point files easily since their hangers, floor drains, and cleanouts have the points embedded in them. For a small BIM department I think Trimble SysQue is a good option. They manage the database and you can send a request in for more content if it is needed. For larger BIM departments or people that are doing cloud spooling with Stratus or MSuite it becomes more problematic especially on the mechanical side with needing to use taps and the functionality of them being less than stellar. Larger BIM departments are usually able to have a person manage their database internally and that helps keep the content parameters consistent. Most MEP Fabrication content that I have used does very well with taps and the piping is able to be run quickly and does not need to be processed.

  • It has allowed us to produce high level detailed models
  • It gives us the ability to produce point files that aid in a speedier layout process for the field.
We actually use both. Trimble Sysque helps supplement content when you do not have it readily available. The water closet carrier families are very good and highly adjustable to be able to create very accurate restroom skids.

Trimble SysQue allows us to design and coordinate mechanical, sheet metal, electrical, and plumbing systems using Revit, with the added bonus of native Revit pipe, valve, and fitting families. It also allows us to create spool drawings for our fabrication shop to pre-fabricate piping assemblies for our projects. SysQue also ties us directly to our Trimble Total Station for a hanger layout in the field.
  • It allows Contractors to use Revit with Spooling functions.
  • The database of millions of native Revit Families.
  • Excellent support from Trimble.
  • The Spooling feature could always use improvements.
  • More tie into the estimating software.
Trimble SysQue is a perfect fit for our organization, being a Design/Build contractor. We use it to design, coordinate, and create Pre-Fabricated assemblies. We perform a lot of IPD Projects and, coupled with BIM 360 Design, it makes us efficient.

  • More Construction Managers are demanding their Subs use Revit, and this software allows it to happen.
  • The cost is not cheap. However, when you have Designers that are skilled, it pays back.
There is no product on the market comparable to Trimble SysQue.

SysQue saves us a tremendous amount of time starting up a project because it allows us to use the engineers' Revit model as a base so we don't have to start from scratch for each job.
  • Creates fabricatable parts inside of Revit
  • Allows us to export hanger points for shooting with a robot on site
  • Saves us time getting to coordination by allowing us to use engineers' model as a base.
  • SysQue doesn't switch between elbow types on the fly very well so if you are processing a run with mixed elbow types in it, there can be some minor issues.
SysQue is well suited for any company that uses Revit. It is especially useful for those who use Revit and also can get engineers Revit models.

  • There has been a huge improvement in productivity. We don't need as many detailers to do the same amount of work because of SysQue.
